CTMH More Happy Mail

More happy mail to share with you! I love this card using last month's Stamp of the Month from Debra (she sent me tags to match!) and this To-Go Cup from my friend and downline, Melissa. This To-Go Cups thin cut die is a great half priced item for Hostesses - right now is a …

CTMH Christmas Snowflake Mandalas

This is such a pretty card! Of course, I CASEd it from Amy Moore, another Close To My Heart Maker. But can you blame me? There is so much sparkle and it reminds me of when I was a young girl, we did 3D paper tole crafts with my mom. The fussy cutting of this …
