CTMH Thoughtful Critters From Slimline Celebration

Hooray! I managed to create one more "quick" card using these cute little woodland animals. Last week I finally sat down and colored a few of them. They are from Close To My Heart's new stamp set, Thoughtful Critters. It is just one of many "must have" stamps and thin cut dies from CTMH's National …

CTMH Thoughtful Critters

Woohoo! My cute little critters that I colored up last week made it onto a card. I love how this little scene turned out. Thoughtful Critters is just ONE of several stamps and new slimline dies that are included in Close To My Heart's Slimline Celebration promotion. I'm in love!! This was a super quick …

CTMH Pumpkin Spice

I woke up to cooler temperatures again this morning and this weekend I saw some pumpkins growing big and round in gardens... I'm still waiting on my Close To My Heart order and in the meantime I am playing with their instant digital download -- Pumpkin Spice! You perhaps knew that CTMH had (and still …

CTMH Digital Art Collections

It's been a hectic start to the school year and time slipped by so quickly that I just now am placing an order from the new Close To My Heart catalogs! Normally CTMH Makers (aka consultants) can order the month prior but I just didn't manage to "narrow" down my first wish list...ha ha. Don't …

CTMH Lovely Fun Fold

Yikes! August 31st is almost here! That means two amazing Close To My Heart catalogs are retiring...sniff, sniff.

CTMH So Happy Together

The end of August is almost upon us and that means Close To My Heart is retiring both their Core Catalog and the July/August catalog. Yikes!! The list is HUGE! After a full and long day at work, followed by a quick trip to the grocery store, I wanted to make a card. It's soothing …

CTMH Cute As A Bug

Yay or Nay for bugs?!? I personally prefer butterflies but this Cute As a Bug stamp set from Close To My Heart is mighty cute indeed. I love some of the designs in the bug wings -- they are almost folk-arty. I'm not going to say all boys love bugs -- my son hates them. …

First Day of School!

And...it's official! Today is the first day back in school for me in over a year -- with in person kiddos, that is. I'm so excited to be back in the classroom and unplugged. I just had to make this sweet apple with some Close To My Heart papers -- it was so easy. If …
