Rustic Home Fundamentals

Happy Thursday to you!

Today is Throwback Thursday for me!  I made this one page layout of my dad and my Abuelita Camila (grandmother) using some scraps from the Rustic Home Fundamentals, Saffron, a little Poppy and Peacock cardstock paper.  This is my all time favorite picture of my dad and grandmother.  I love the clothes they are wearing and the background.  My mom still has the photo hanging in the background too.  I love and miss them both so much.


My layout has quite a few different products too using Thin Cuts, Journaling Card which is currently on clearance.  You can purchase a pack of 24 cards for $2.00!  I also used the Mini Journaling Heart stamp in the lower right corner and "Capture This" stamp set in the upper right corner.

Thin Cuts- $10.95

Journaling Stamp- $2.95

Thin Cuts Basic Hearts- $12.95

Journaling Cards- $2.00

Capture This- $17.95


Enjoy!

Beautiful Vibrant Colors

These layouts of my great niece are when she spent 23 days in the hospital after a visit to the ER on 12/2.  She awoke that morning with half her face numb and had doctors baffled on what was wrong.  After 4 spinal taps, 5 MRIs, 1 EKG and one Cat Scan doctors diagnosed her with ADEM, a neurological disorder that cause brain inflammation.  She was blessed because she was released from the hospital on the morning of Christmas Eve and is now working to get back to school through rehabilitation.




Doctor Zhang was her favorite doctor of the many she met and were on her case to find out what she had.  There were so many doctors and nurses we are grateful for and I so appreciate the jobs many do now even more!  I thought law enforcement was tough but being able to heal is so much harder and nurses and doctors do it with such love and care.

My niece wants to start her album now to include many family photos so I started it with none other than using the Adventure Fundamentals paper packet.  The packet is so versatile and the packet has 24 sheets of beautiful vibrant colors that are great for layouts and card making.

Look how beautiful and vibrant these colors are!  Each fundamental packet is beautiful with so much you can do for each color.  Add some white cardstock like I did with these layouts and you can make so much!

Clearance Items-

If you haven't been to the clearance tab on my website you really need to take a look.  There are so many deep discounted items you can purchase now for gift giving later or for yourself.  Take a look at some of the items.







These are just a FEW of the items still available.  There are so many embellishments and stickers too as low as $1.75!  We even have washi tape for $1.25.








Which are my favorites and recommendations?  Well that's a tough question, LOL...  I'm really huge on mini books, so I totally love the Instalife albums and any mini book.  Plus there a steal for $3 and $2 dollars.  My other huge favorite are the embossing folders.  The CTMH folders are just the perfect size for your favorite embossing machine at a very good price of $3.15.

Valentines Treats-

Here are some cute French Fry boxes I made for my son's class using the Sugar Rush papers.  Too Cute!  I filled them with a small Crayola box and treats.  I then wrapped them up in little Dollar Store baggies and tied their Valentine card to the outside.



My older daughter is growing up, wah... she just wanted lolli pops, so I added this XOXO scallop stamp to the outside to spruce it up a bit!



Have a great day today and stop by my website to shop or just browse!

Thin Cuts are Great!


It's Friday, Woo Hoo!  I know I've mentioned in the past if you don't have a Cricut, Thin Cut's are the way to go.  They really are and even though I have two Cricuts I still buy Thin Cuts, lol.  They are fun and easy to use and just love the different designs.

School Kids-

This is the School Kids Thin Cuts with the coordinating stamp set.  If you don't already know I love all types of school theme so I purchased these right away.  They are fast and easy to use by sliding them through your favorite die cutting machine.  They come out with a crisp, clean cut and all you do is stamp with the coordinating stamp set.


For my son's 100th day of school he dressed up as an old man.  I had the intention to make him a little tag for this day using this set however I forgot!  I woke up the day of and realized I hadn't made it so I jumped out of bed and went straight to my craft table.  I literally made this tag in 5 minutes top if not shorter than that because I was pressed for time and I really wanted a picture of him for his album scrapbook page.  How crazy is that?  I'm so into preserving memories and knew I needed to get that photo!


Here is the 100th day tag!  Stamped it so fast, punched two holes then added the yarn!  Voila!  His teacher loved it and I got my photo!  

If you haven't tried Thin Cuts, try them, you will be hooked!  Sugar Rush has Thin Cuts for the donuts too!

Enjoy!

Too Sweet!

Happy Wednesday!

Are you ready for some donuts?  We have a beautiful paper packet name "Sugar Rush" and it is just too cute.  I especially like the donuts even though I can't eat them, LOL.

I made this birthday card using the Sugar Rush packet, see the cute little donut?  The tag slides out and it has the cute saying "Happy Birthday with sprinkles on top!"  The colors are soft and just too pretty.




The Close To My Heart Design Department always makes beautiful artwork to show us consultants and look at these cards!  They are just so adorable beautiful.  



Sugar Rush papers would also be perfect for a little princess or teens to use your scrapbook layouts.
Can't pass up these papers, Love them!
