Live Beautifully is almost GONE

Live Beautifully-

Just a few days left to purchase your "Live Beautifully" paper packet.  Make beautiful cards mini albums and layouts.  Here are 3 of my layouts to share with you.

The Live Beautifully has been a great promotion for May and the papers are very versatile.  This promotion is only available in May so don't hold off on purchasing it.

Wreath Thin Cut

I wanted to share the this beautiful wreath Thin Cut I've enjoyed using for card making.  It's only $16.95 and comes with the stamp too.

Use the Thin Cut with your favorite die cutting tool and stamping the image for cards and scrapbook layouts.  Use it time and time again for various themes including Christmas and Birthdays.  I used it with this card as a condolence card.

Have a great weekend!

Live Beautifully is Beautiful!

If you haven't purchased the Live Beautifully papers which happens to be the promotion this month then you are missing out!  It is beautiful and fits many themes such as birthday, weddings, heritage, Holy Communion and so many more.

These are two of my layouts I want to share with you I have made for a teacher retiring at the end of the school year.  I am working on a 10 page album for her and I know she will love it!  She has taught for over 30 years and has made such an impact to my daughter when she was in Kindergarten including many more children.

I thought this photo was perfect with the Live Beautifully paper packet because of the black and white photo and I love the poses!

I used the "happy" Thin Cuts and Flower Market Cricut cartridge for the flower and "Friends" font.  The best part about this promotion is you have so many buying options to choose from.  Visit my website at www.Crazy4stamps.ctmh by clicking here, http://crazy4stamps.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/campaigns/1705-nsm-live-beautifully.aspxto see them all or refer back to my previous post.  

Enjoy and have a great day!

Thank You Teachers and Nurses!!

Teachers & Nurses Appreciation Week-

I so much appreciate Teachers and all the dedication they put forth in helping students.  It wasn't until I had my two little ones and they started pre-school did I see first hand what teachers really do.  Not only do they care so much for the children but they spend plenty of their own money for their classroom.  THANK YOU Teachers and ALL SCHOOL STAFF!

Each year I like to give teachers, librarians and I can't forget our school bus driver, Ms. Patty who is just an awesome driver, a gift for their hard work.  

I made these cute little holders using our Cricut Artbooking cartridge and these two stamp sets.  I can't seem to stop using, "School Kids" with the complementing Thin Cuts and our Operation Smile "True Love".  The chocolate bars fit perfectly inside and does the chocolate apple.  You can also easily fit a gift card inside, small card or something else that's yummy.

Operation Smile True Love- $17.95

If you purchase the "True Love" stamp set Close To My Heart will also donate $7 to Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates children.  

School Kids stamp set

School Kids Thin Cuts

The School Kids bundle is $32.95 and is perfect for school layouts, birthday and teacher cards too.  It's one of my many favorites!

I packed several treats inside these cute little baskets with Chocolate bars, chocolate chip cookies, lotions and candies.  Hope they love them!

Using the same stamps and thin cuts I made cards too although the tag on the gift basket is an older stamp no longer available, sorry....

I used the Enchantment Fundamentals collection for these cards and the colors coordinate so well.

Nurses Week-

I can't forget the wonderful nurses that help so many to heal from injuries and illnesses.  At my children's school we also have a school nurse and my kids are regular patients there!  We can't forget her because she tends to the kids with such care and has a good heart.  We are giving her a gift basket too and made her a special card!

How cute is this card?

Hope you enjoyed my projects!  Have a great week.
