Triple Stamp set - oh, my!

Hi! I'm trying to take a few weeks to have a late summer vacation after my daughter's wedding but wouldn't you know that Close To My Heart would have one of those extra special sales!

September is National Stamping Month and look at this precious trio of stamps called "You Are My Happy":

 

 

Yes, that first image is of a complete upper and lower case alphabet! The sayings on the 3rd one make it a must have for cards AND photos!  Each of these is a D-size stamp set - $17.95 reg. price - and you get all 3 for $10 with your $50 order.   But there's more ....

 

With a $50 order you also can get this wonderful Stamp of the Month set, "Poster Tidings":

 

 

It is also a D-size stamp so these images are about 2.5 x 5 " each, worth $17.95, but you can get it for $5!  So altogether this month's deal is ...

 

Place an order for $50 and get these four D-size stamp sets for just $15 more - a savings of almost $60! 

 

I will be placing my order for September by the end of the month so you can email me your list and I will place it for you.  If you don't want to wait, you can join my online order (look at the bottom right under my shopping website and click on the "September Orders").

You can order online and have it shipped straight to you.  The advantage of online orders is that you can ALSO shop for the clearance items "While Supplies Last." 

            ---->>>>    Right now there are 2 paper packets being clearance for around $2!!! 

 Look at this snapshot ... these are just some of the clearance items ... but they go real quick soooo get'em while they last!

 

These can only be ordered on my online shopping website, http://debbiescraftingcorner.ctmh.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=1702

 

 

 

So take a look around for lots of inspiration, videos, tips and more....

Happy National Stamping Month!   

 

Making memories with you,

 

 

Got digital pictures? Free layout!

Oh, my goodness! Close To My Heart's June special is to give you a 2 page digital scrapbook layout for FREE!!

I've written and shown you pictures on my blog of Studio J, the online digital scrapbook tool that CTMH has. There is never anything to purchase until you want a printed copy of your layouts. Well, one of the latest upgrades is that you get high resolution JPG images of your layouts that you can then take anywhere that prints 12x12 size. To give you a chance to see the absolute great quality of Studio J, CTMH is giving away the JPG images of one layout to every customer for FREE!
Here is one of my layouts:



Here are some screen shots showing the papers you can select from, with the predesigned pages all you do is upload photos, select paper and pattern and arrange your photos!

Aren't these great? Yes, yours can look just as nice without too much work! All you need is 30 minutes to create 2 beautiful pages complete with photos, journaling, and "doo-dads" that will make your pages look so beautiful!

To get started without any obligation follow these steps:

1.Go to my CTMH website: http://debbietuggle.myctmh.com/ and sign in or click on "Create an account" if you don't have one already - this is just so your photos can be saved under your name and to make getting your free layout and future shopping experience easy should you ever decide to shop online.

2.Click on the left hand area link "Studio J Online Scrapbooking" then click on the "Enter Studio J" on the next page.

3.Then click on "Create a New Project" and follow the easy step by step instructions - that's it!

Close To My Heart believes in making scrapbooking Faster, Simpler and Easier so they have a YouTube channel with how-to-videos for Studio J as well - here's one of them on Studio J Basics:



One last tidbit about how great this tool is: if you create an account and upload your photos at home then you can access Studio J from any computer and work on it from wherever you are!

The Studio J "Free for All" promotion is good through the month of June. Contact me with any questions, ok?
 
 

It's been 2 months!

Wow! A lot of activity has been going on in my life and just no time to update this bloggy thing! Well, I just got back from my 1st ever multi-day crop as a vendor (or as anything, for that matter). What an experience! It was fun and exhausting at the same time! Here's a couple of pictures of my display area:
My friend, Becky, and I shared the experience and we did a make-n-take each day. We were honored to have received some very positive feedback from the ladies who attended!

Here's a picture of my 1st make-n-take and the matching 2nd page:

Materials used (all CTMH)
Stamp sets - Daydream and Footprints, Homestead alphabet
Desert Sand and Spring Iris Inks
Desert Sand Carstock for matting and border
Colonial White Cardstock for bases
Majestic Blue B&T

All in all it was a great weekend!

Updated Layout with Photos!

My previous photos needed some"help" so I finished the layout completely including my girls' pictures. What do you think? (layout, I mean!)

Well, not to brag or anything but my girls are cute, too!
Some of the how-to's I'll be showing include: making scallopped edges using the corner rounder; using liquid glass for glossy look to the flower centers and to adhere the buttons; popping stamped images for a 3-D look; using stamps to create background paper & embellishments.If you're in the area, I'm doing this layout for free with only limited seating available, so call or email me to let me know you'd like to come!
God bless you tonight! ~ Debbie ~

"Easter" Themed Layout

Recently someone commented that I had done a lot of cards and projects but not a layout. I decided that Easter photos would provide great inspiriration for a layout to get me back into the swing of these type of workshops. THIS COMING Thursday, April 30th, from 7-10 pm I'll be hosting this get together and it will be at NO COST to you! I need to get back into layouts so you can help me by coming and doing it with me! Space is limited to the first 12 that RSVP so call or email me ASAP.















The pictures are not the best buthere are both pages. They do look better in person - LOL! On the left you can put one vertical 4x6 plus journaling or another small picture. On the right you have room for a vertical and a horizontal 4x6, 2 3x3's, and a journaling spot ot another small picture. You can post here to let me know your thoughts but please RSVP by email at debbietuggle@gmail.com.

God bless you tonight!
