Did you know Close To My Heart has a "While Supplies Last"?  It is located on my shopping CTMH website and carries products that are discontinued at a lesser price.  You can always go there and find such good deals.  I found the My Creations Cubby there for only $11.85.  This was offered last year.  I bought one and made an advent Christmas calendar, just in time for Christmas!  I will be putting sweet little treats inside each box so my kids can have one each day.  They are going to enjoy this and asking if it's time to open box number one!

This is the side view, I added some paper and some cute embellishments using a round scallop puncher.    I love how it turned out.

Are you getting into the Christmas spirit yet?  With all the stores putting up their decorations it has me in the Christmas spirit!  I started making gift boxes and Christmas tags.  Love how these came out.

Close to My Heart also has come out with their new D-Ring albums and they are beautiful!  I can't wait to order mine.  Here is a a picture and they are available to order now.  They come in classic black, chevron and ruby floral.

Are you pressed for time?  With the holidays quickly approaching you still have time to make your cards with the new Close To My Heart Cut Above kits.  They are kits that are pre-cut and super easy to assemble.  All you need is adhesive and a stamp.  The rest is easy peezy.

I made these two cards in minutes and changed one of them up a bit with a Christmas sentiment.

The kits include 10 cards with the embellishments.  Stamp sets are sold separately and I recommend Merriest Christmas B1468 or the You Mean the World to Me B1467.   Stamps sets are only $9.95 and kits run from $9.95 to $14.25.  Love these when I'm in a hurry and pressed for time.

Have you ever thought about hosting a gathering?  It's fun, get a group of your friends together and do some stamping and scrapping.  Lots of fun to do with the girls and your friends will leave with cards already made and a scrap book lay out.  When you host a party you can also buy stamp sets offered only to a Hostess.  Here is a card I made with the sentiment "Everything is Better with a Friend".  The set comes with four other images that are too cute and the set is only $10 to a hostess.  Message or call me to host your gathering!

I hope you had an awesome Halloween Trick or Treating and visiting carnivals. I know I did! It was also another hot day in the Imperial Valley, I can't remember a Halloween where it was actually cold which makes wearing a costume a bit difficult! But it was FUN!

I watched the Cowboys yesterday and sadly to say they lost!  Oh, no QB Romo is hurt!  We need him, hopefully he plays next game but if I were him I would retire.  His back injuries are getting worse. Boo….

It's November already and here is a picture of the November Stamp of the Month. There is so much you can do with this stamp from making cards to beautiful scrap book pages and 3-D objects. Get yours for only $5 with a $50 order or purchase the stamp set for full price of $17.95.

It has been a busy Halloween week in between getting ready for the school carnival, making cookies for the bake sale and treat bags for my kids school, I'm finally done!!

Here are some photos of the treat bags I made using the Frightfully Fun stamp set.  The images are so cute.  I made toppers and attached a scallop circle to the topper using a sandwich type bag with spider webs I found at Michaels.  I even made Rainbow Loom bracelets for the kids.

The other treat bags are Halloween bags you find at the Dollar store and I added just a scallop circle, tying it to the bag.  I think they look adorable!

 I also found this cute Halloween coffee cup for the teacher.  Filled it with cookies and added a tag with Halloween ribbon to it.

Hope you all have a safe and Happy Halloween Trick or Treating!!

Did you know you can make your own gift card holders using the Cricut cartridge?  I love making this gift card holder, it is so easy and fun to create.  I like making my own rather than buying those expensive ones in stores.  Contact me and I can show you how simple it is!

Cowboys won again!  They are doing so good!  Ok, had to mention this part, LOL.  I was able to do some creating this weekend.  Getting ready for vendor events and Christmas.  Don't forget the Stamp of  the Month.  It is adorable.  I just love the polar bear.  I love making these cute little boxes with the Artiste cartridge.  You can fit cute little things inside it and then close it up.  Great for all holidays just use different color or pattern card stock.  I made this one with just plain white card stock and added a strip of Snowhaven on it using the polar bear stamp of the month.  Love how it turned out.

Place a $50 order and buy the stamp for only $5.  You also purchase the stamp at full price for $17.95.  Only available this month!

I am not kidding!!  The Artfully Sent cricut cartridge is awesome.  It is a card makers dream cartridge.  However it has many icon scenes for scrappers too!  Here is another card I made with the cartridge.  I am really loving this cartridge.

This cartridge also makes envelopes and liners for the inside of the envelope.  The stamp on the outside is one of the 3 stamp sets it comes with.  The cartridge is $99 but so worth the money.  It comes with 3 stamp sets and a bulk set of white daisy card stock.

It's been awhile since I posted anything because last week was crazy.  I'm helping out at my kids school with serving lunch and the halloween carnival not to mention the soccer games in between.  However I did receive my Cricut Arfully Sent cartridge and it is awesome!

It has so many themes and pop up scenes I love it!!  So glad I got  it.  I made this cute Halloween card in only 5 minutes.  That's how easy it is to use.  Thought I would post a quick picture.  I'm still playing with it so you'll be seeing more pictures soon.
