All Occasion Yummy Card + Great Card Pattern For Using Scraps
I love this card! Do you know why? Yes, because I think it turned out cute, but also because it's a perfect card design to use up scraps. Admit it! You have them. Throwing away even the tiniest piece of paper is like losing one of your children. Right? Okay, maybe not that traumatic, but traumatic all the same. *wink*
This is a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. Each of the little rectangles that make up the "tic tac toe" board are 1 1/4" x 1". Grab a blank card, choose a few scrap papers that coordinate, cut them down, draw some lines, and find a fun focal point to add to the corner. Voila!
I made this card using the National Scrapbooking Month papers and stamps that Close To My Heart is making available during May only. You can purchase one, or both of them on my website, or you can purchase them in the kit that I created (which makes 3 - 2 page 12" x 12" layouts and 8 cards...including 2 of this one). But, hurry quickly! They are only availble through the end of May (or while supplies last...whichever comes first).

You're Loved Maternity Layout
Remember last week when I shared a maternity layout of our daughter, Kori? You can see that here. I am back again today to share another layout I made at the same time; at the Close To My Heart Making Connections event that was held for Consultants in the Salt Lake City, UT area.
The Close To My Heart Art Department designed these layouts by taking apart one of our darling "My Crush For Her" books and using the 4" x 6" pages to create 12" x 12" layouts. The second I saw the maternity photos Kori had taken, I knew they were perfect for the two layouts we created.
We just simply took the book apart (what a brilliant idea!) and used the pages, coupled with a bit of cardstock, stamps, ink and a few embellishments to create gorgeous full-size (12" x 12") layouts. I will be sharing the 2nd layout next week.
Here is what you need to know about the darling "My Crush For Her" mini-album: It has 30 - 4" x 6" pages in a mix of styles (printed cardstock-weight paper, mini-page protectors, printed vellum) and is bound with a darling white spiral metal spine.
Here are a few details of the layout up close.
All supplies we used on this layout are listed, complete with photos and links for your convenience, at the bottom of this post. All of these products can be purchased on my website.

Love You Card + Memorial Day Sale
Happy Memorial Day! Don't forget the Memory-al Day Weekend Sale I am running. You have until 11:59 pm tonight (MST) to take advantage of it. You can see all of the details in yesterday's post here.
Today I thought I'd share another card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") I created using the May Stamp of the Month - Just Sayin'. I just stamped the squares in Canary Ink and Glacier Ink and cut them in half diagonally and adhered them to bottom edge of a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of White Daisy Cardstock to create the pattern. I then adhered that to the front of a Whisper Cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. On a scrap of White Daisy Cardstock, I stamped the little striped banner and the cloud shaped label and cut those puppies out. I stamped the word "you" to the far right of the label and then added a puffy heart from the Chalk It Up Assortment. I then adhered those to the front of the card. I did pop up the cloud label with 3D Foam Tape for some added interest. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!
This stamp set is available only in May and is yours for only $5 ($12.95 savings) with every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax). Spend $100...get 2, and so on. When purchasing on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before you check out.
Also, don't forget that to celebrate National Scrapbooking Month this month, Close To My Heart has created and made available some juicy products! The Taste of Summer Paper Packet and Taste of Summer Stamp Set are just too good to pass up. The paper packet is $8.95 and the stamp set is $17.95. Both are available on my website during May.

She Glows 2-Page Maternity Layout
May is National Scrapbooking Month and what better way to celebrate than to SCRAPBOOK? I recently attended an awesome Close To My Heart event, and one of the projects we created was two layouts featuring pages from the darling "My Crush - For Her" book. This mini-scrapbook was introduced in the Seasonal Expressions II mini-catalog, which you can order from through August 31.
I chose to populate these layouts with photos from our daughter, Kori's recent maternity shoot. This is baby #4 for her and she couldn't look more beautiful!
We just simply took the book apart (what a brilliant idea!) and used the pages, coupled with a bit of cardstock, stamps, ink and a few embellishments to create gorgeous full-size (12" x 12") layouts. I will be sharing the 2nd layout next week.
Here is what you need to know about the darling "My Crush For Her" mini-album: It has 30 - 4" x 6" pages in a mix of styles (printed cardstock-weight paper, mini-page protectors, printed vellum) and is bound with a darling white spiral metal spine.
Here are a few details of the layout. As you can see in the photos below, we even used one of the plastic photo sleeves from the mini-book to create a layout with a little bit of interaction (and room for a few more photos!). Since I had tons of beautiful photos from our daughter, Kori's maternity shoot, this was a great way to showcase more of them!
All supplies we used on this layout are listed, complete with photos and links for your convenience, at the bottom of this post. All of these products can be purchased on my website.
