Hello!

Now that the kids are back in school this week I'm in the school theme!  I decorated these Designer Creations Lagoon paper bags (only $3.95) and made some cookies for the teachers.  They loved the cricut bags I posted earlier with the candy inside.  They said they needed the chocolate by noon.  So I though I would send in some chocolate chip cookies too.  They've had my cookies before and love them.

Starting tomorrow FREE ink pad of your choice for every $25 order on my website!!  Just click the Join my party in the lower right hand corner to shop at www.Crazy4stamps.ctmh.com then private message me the ink pad of your choice and I will ship it to you.

Happy Friday Evening!!  There are only 9 days left in August, I can't believe it.  The summer is practically over although it's still HOT here in El Centro.  It's like Death Valley, the hottest place you could imagine.  Degrees are in the 114- to 118, yuck.

This photo is the design cover to the Wanderful Picture My Life kit.  I added a stamped "Alaska" using the Handwritten Print stamp set in the lower right corner, the Black Arrow washi tape and added some Wanderful paper arrows from my scraps at the top.  I stapled them using the new CTMH stapler.  I really liked the stapler, it is very durable and reaches really far into the paper to staple.

If you like the Picture My Life kits you have 9 days left to take advantage of the special.  Get your's for only $24.95 and add on the $3 special of 10 more memory protectors.  Below is the design cover and the Wanderful PML kit.

Picture My Life - Wanderful

Micro-tip Scissors

These micro-tip scissors are really cool.  They are sharp and non-stick making it easy to cut paper.  These are a must have.

Here is another home decor way I have used the Picture My Life cards.  I just love these cards.  You can use them for everything.

This is how cool Picture My Life kits are. I was at Kohls yesterday and saw this cute narrow board for sale. It was only $9.99 but then I had a $5 dollar coupon so I bought it for $5! What a deal. 

Ok, so then I got some PML cards from my stash. Remember there are 122 cards in each kit so I have over 300 cards. Next I taped some cute photos of my cuties when they were small and clipped them on the board. It was that easy. It's right next to my chalkboard calendar. Love it. 

The special will soon be gone on the PML kits.  Get yours before the end of the month.

Here's a close up and the full board.

This summer I went to Alaska.  It was a super fun time.  We went on a Cruise on the Rhapsody of the Seas.  Aside of my husband and two kids, my brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews went.  There was 25 of us and it was so much fun.  I wish my dad could have been with us, he would have loved it.  We even had nice T-shirts made!

So when the new catalog came out I quickly fell in love with the Wanderful Workshop On The Go.  It was perfect for our trip.  This kit includes the Wanderful paper packet, My Acrylix stamp set in size D, card stock sheets, Wanderful assortment, black arrow wash tape, and an instructional guide.  All for $29.95.

This is a two page lay out I made, but I also ordered the Picture My Life Wanderful program kit to go with it.  I'm still creating pages.  More to come soon.

My Acrylix® Spritz & Scrubber

The scrubber is a must have.  Cleans your stamps real nice and it is small.  Very easy to carry around on your crop retreats.  You have to get one.  Only $12.95.

I love this dotted paper!  This is the Seaside Paper Packet.  Made this Happy Birthday card with the You Mean the World to Me stamp set.  One of the four images in the set.  I love this set, so easy to make cards with this set.

This is a quick little tag I made using the Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut the tag.  Of course I used Chalk It Up paper pack and one of my favorite sentiment stamps, You Mean the World to Me set.  This stamp set has four images for only $9.95 and can be used in so many ways, you'll be seeing more with these stamps!  The cute little heart embellishment is from the Chalk It Up assortment sticker sheet.  They are cute puffy stickers and only $4.95 for an 8x4 sheet.

I just can't get away from the Chalk It Up paper!  I love this pattern and still using it.  Can you believe I made this quick card with just scraps and one stamp?

Here are a few lay outs from the Chalk It Up Workshop On the Go.  This is my favorite WOTG because it has the school theme.  I am loving it.  I will be ordering more paper so I can create two albums for Lucia and Emilio as she starts Kindergarten and he begins Pre-school.  These are three very simple easy to make lay outs.  Hope you enjoy.

I previously posted the really awesome monthly special CTMH has on Picture My Life.  Have I mentioned why I really, really love them?  I love them because anyone from experienced crafter to someone who has never scrapbooked a page in their life can complete a Picture My Life program album kit.  It's that easy!

Here are my top reasons:

1- It's fast and simple.
2- Mix and match PML pages with the traditional scrapbook layouts.  Makes your album look more awesomeness!  (Is that even a word?)
3- Great for beginners.  Seriously, great for beginners!
4- Awesome gift to a crafter or non-crafter especially because they are so easy to do.  Kids about 7 and older could do one.  Teenagers would love the school theme Chalk It Up for their high school years.
5- So many uses.  Make mini albums, lay outs, home decor and use the cards for card making.
6- Great value! You get 122 cards with lots of sayings, quotes, designs, etc.  To include 10 memory protectors in the kit.

Take advantage of this month's special and buy a kit for only $24.95 and add on the 10-pack additional protectors for only $3 more.  Below are more theme kits however go to my website to see all the themes at www.Crazy4stamps.ctmh. com

You will love them that you will come back for more!

Close To My Heart offers a really good special each month called Stamp Of The Month.  If you make a purchase of $50 you can then add the STOM for only $5!  However if you don't want to spend $50, but you just gotta have that cute stamp then you can still purchase it for full price at $17.95.

This month's SOTM is this cute Owldorable stamp!  I created a quick card with just scraps from my Chalk It Up WOTG kit.

Picture My Life Scrapbooking Programs

Here are three of the new Picture My Life scrapbooking programs.  My favorite is the Chalk It Up!  I love the school theme so that I can scrapbook my little girl Lucia and little boy Emilio's school years.  Lucia will start Kindergarden this year and Emilio will start pre-school!  They are both excited, me included!

The really cool thing about these programs is that if you want to make a scrapbook, but have never even scrapbooked ever, and you have some photos you cherish and keep forever then this program is for you.  Just purchase a kit and one album.  That's all you really need.  You slide the cards in the memory protectors which come with the kit and then slide your pictures.  All you need to do next is some journaling on the cards and buy an album to place the protectors inside.  Voila! You are done.

You will preserve your memories and tell a story at the same time.  Get yours today.  Only $24.95 for a kit and add on the $3 special.  You will love it!  Visit my website at www.Crazy4stamps.ctmh.com and click "join my party" to shop.
