Been offline for a bit...

We're taking our summer break a little later than others so I've been a bit out of touch.  Hope your summer went well and are now looking forward to Fall.  That means different things to many people, most involving  a lot of work. So, before you do that, check out another great early Fall activity from CTMH - National Stamping Month and the Fall Idea Book!

On the left you'll see the announcement for the special triple album kit available in celebration of National Stamping Month - you can get it for as low as $5!  Click on it to view all the details.

On the right you can click to view the fabulous Fall Idea Book online - check out eight new colors, "pearl" embellishments, new "Flip Flaps" to add more space in your layouts for pictures, and a lot more! 


I hope you'll take advantage of these online features while I'm finishing my family summer - - - and to keep you inspired here's another project I made - a wedding card/gift card holder:

Be back with you soon!

School is back - got lists?

Most students are back to school and with it come activities galore. Do you need a place to keep your to-do list without losing that paper? And, of course, the prettier it looks the better, right? Well, I've been gathering pictures of some of my creations that I had not posted and came across a memo dry-erase board I made for a friend. Here it is:

This is made from a regular 11x14 inch frame and papers from the "Sasparilla" packet.  You can write on the glass with a dry erase marker so you can get ready for each week.  Isn't that a neat idea?  By making it yourself youc an choose papers that match your decor and change it out when you feel like it or to match a season of the year.  If you need help putting one together let me know and I'll walk you through how I did mine.  Hope you are having a good day!

Making memories with you,

Debbie

Candy gift project

Hi again!  Just thought I'd share a little project my daughter and I did to celebrate her one year anniversary as a full-time journalist.  We used stamp set B1309 "Fun Times."  I thank Lisa Stenz for posting her pretty version and then crediting Karen Werner with the tutorial.  I had to edit their measurements to fit the Hershey candy bar that we used.  I didn't take a picture of another slider I made - the GIANT Hershey bar - yup!

Turned out nice, didn't they?  I'll be posting a couple of other projects I planned for my 2nd crop as a vendor but I'll post those later.  Until then, have a sweet day and God bless you!
