Mayberry Magic

Here's another great video tutorial from CTMH's Corporate Office...they are using our 'Trees & Things' stamp set...a great summer addition to your stamp collection...

I've used mine with our Mayberry paper collection and created a cute little mini-album from our retired Kraft 3X3 mini-album (now available in White Daisy~Z1141)

Here's some pics of my album and supplies:

I've used the Irresistibles Lots of Dots alphabet stickers inked in Honey and Smoothie inks and stamped our canvas button badge with Honey ink using an image in the Token Alphabet set (E1020)  

I used the Trees and Things stamp set(D1467) as well as the Horizon stamp set(C1454)

Thanks for stopping by...enjoy your day!

Newsprint Alphabet Rub-Ons

Happy Rainy Friday...well if you live in Beautiful British Columbia...that's what you've got today...well in my town we do! I love the rain, one of the reasons I couldn't think of living anywhere else...four distinct seasons, lasting around 3-4 months each...well, maybe a little light on the winter months, no igloos here...but those rainy days that I love so much always get me into the Workshop for some guilt free scrapbooking time...after the laundry and the chauffeuring around is done of course!

Today, Close To My Heart is showing how great and easy the new Newsprint Rub-Ons are...they are super easy to remove from the packaging as they are in letter rows...with multiples of each letter and more of our frequently used letters to boot!

They are so smooth to apply and the perfect size for scrapbooking or cardmaking...whatever your pleasure, a pleasure they are to use and enjoy. Get yours and discover how great they are for yourself! Check out some of the ideas below by clicking on the play button!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like CHRISTMAS.....

November 25th...one month before Christmas, we get about 3-4 inches of snowfall!!! The kids were extremely excited about the possibility of there being a 'Snow-Day' where school is closed!!! I have teenagers that enjoy the thought of school being closed for just about any reason...3 inches of snow in the Valley can be enough depending on the ice factor here...if the busses aren't moving, then we don't have too either :)

My son always clears the snow on the driveway...he might complain about other chores, but shovelling snow doesn't seem like a chore I guess!

The view from my front porch, down the street...thought I'd snap a picture as it could be all the snow we'll see this year...you just never know what you're going to get here in British Columbia!

My good son in action...even did the sidewalk...

The only negative thing about snow...Chloe LOVES IT !!! and as a result, she literally turns into a snowball...she was hardly even able to climb the back stairs when Marissa made her come in...that's the other problem, she won't come in on her own, you have to go out there and get her!

This is where she sits in the laundry room, waiting for a bath...this is the easiest way for us to get the snowballs off of her, poor thing ;)

Christmas Pretties.....my favorite part of getting into the spirit of the season.....

The Elves have been super busy here and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...lights up on the house, trees trimmed, banisters embellished, 

trinkets here and there...

I was sooo excited with this find at Winners...I think I might finally have found the tree star that works the best for this tree...I love it!

VINTAGE CHRISTMAS MINI-ALBUM CLASS

Webster's Pages is one beautiful paper company...a little bit old-fashioned but at the same time, quite trendy...this class will be a real treasure of gorgeous paper, hand made embellishments and plenty of leftovers for you after!

Each kit contains a 6X6 package of 36 double-sided sheets, a mini-CD case filled with 18 designer journalling cards, double-sided as well, a full sheet of cardstock stickers...and a few other surprises...can't give you all the details:)

We will be painting, crackling, tying and best of all, having a great time 'Creating' a keepsake of Christmas that you can keep for yourself, or present to someone special so they can fill it with their own Christmas Memories.
