Happy Birthday Ladan & My Creations Cube

Ladan turned four yesterday, and this was his birthday card. Little "Robot" guy is from a cute set of robot figures, rightly entitled "Robot Power". I used paper from a packet called Tinkerin'. You have to love the color combination of Twilight, Clover Meadow and Sunny Yellow. There are lots of fun patterns in this packet that make card making simple!














I took a few minutes to stamp all the little robots in the set to make a set of cut-outs for him. This is kind of like paper dolls for boys!!















Last week I finally started a project I've been wanting to do for a long time. Close to My Heart carries a cube that comes flat with scored lines so that you can easily assemble a 5 " cube. You can put pictures on each side, but I wanted to put Bible verses on mine. It's a fun way to use embellishments!

February Stamp of the Month

February's Stamp of the Month is entitled "Piece of Cake". This stamp set is available February 1-28, 2010 only, so give me a call before this is no longer available. See page 108 of the Spring Catalog for pricing.

If you want a "close up" of the card, just double-click it.

Notebook & Bookmark

Our church started a new Bible Study last week, so that gave me an excuse to make myself a notebook for notes and a new bookmark. I should have taken a picture of my old bookmark....you'd all laugh....it's a bit tattered and torn. My Bible cover is a burgundy/red color, so the Tulip cardstock blended nicely. The tassel is made from silvery string (you can also use embroidery floss.) I stamped the Chocolate brown cardstock with a flourish stamp from the new set entitled Cherished Flourishes on page 62 of the Spring Idea Book. My initial is stamped with the Baroque Alphabet stamp set. You, too, can take a 94 cent notebook and make something special!

It's the February Special....not a rainbow!!

During the month of February, if you purchase one 12" x 12" textured cardstock combo pack, you will get one FREE, and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 toward Haiti Relief Efforts. That means that for $14.95, you get two packs of the high-quality textured cardstock. (plus tax and s/h) I love textured cardstock because the back side is a lighter shade of the color. It makes a beautiful card base, or can be cut to be used as elements on your card or scrapbook layout. Check it out in the catalog, or call me if you'd like to see a sample. Combo packs include 4 each of 6 different colors. Split packets with friends!
