Addicted to Paper

 Hi Friends, So, I've been thinking I want to start doing something good in the New Year, using my card-making skills and supplies. Yesterday, I signed up to be a volunteer for Creative Kindness. You can read all about this not-for-profit organization by clicking here ...with that being said, I'm looking for others interested in making and donating cards. I'm going to end this year and begin next year by making Valentine cards. If anyone else is interested you can e-mail me for info on how you can get involved too! I'm keeping it clean and simple so I can mass-produce them. I used the Hearts of Elegance bundle available now from Stampin'Up..you can view it here  or the marbled of elegance suite,  which you can get here  I hope this will motivate you to start creating...everyone can do this! Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season bringing you much Joy and Peace in your heart .!

  Hi Stampin' Friends... It's been a while since I've been on here. I'm not going to make any excuses, I'm going to try and start over and leave it at that. My problem is consistency and old age! I hope to do better in the New Year and I thought I would start by sharing this card with you! We can all use a little Piece on Earth! I'm sharing the supplies used and as a gift to all of you for Christmas the directions to make it!  Card Base  Balmy Blue, 11 X 4-1/4, score at 5-1/2  Card Front Directions Basic White, 4-7/8 X 3-5/8, emboss with the Snowflake Sky EF.

 Hi Friends, First time posting in this New Year! What???? It's October! Well Friends...I have spent this year and actually last year also, trying to figure out exactly what it is I wanted to do. I absolutely love creating and it's always been in paper crafts. I still do that on occasion, but I find doing DIY projects are just plain Fun...Right now I'm getting ready for the holidays and want to share with all of you. I'm going to start with a quick video on just how simple it is. My new favorite medium are silk stencils! Can I just say love! Now you can purchase bread boards from Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Tree, just about any place. Tomorrow, I will give you an update on exactly where my stencils, paste, and in this case my bread board came from!  All I will say is Bread Boards are HOT right now in home decor. More to come. Can I just say how EASY this is!  I am back and very excited to get going in my new creative endeavor! Have a fabulous, creative day, Sandy

 Hi Friends, Today, I have a quick video on the Heart to Heart Video Punch. Perfect for Valentine or Love Scrapbook Layouts.    You can check out more fun border punches by clicking here  I hope to have some fun borders to show next week... Enjoy your weekend and do something that makes you feel good, Sandy💓

 I thought instead of posting dozen of pictures of all the products I just got in my very first CM Haul, I would create this little video. Do you think I have enough to get started? Well with the sub zero weather coming this weekend and more snow on the way, I hope to have something to share with all of you very soon. I am doing a lot of learning including this short video I just shared. So that saying Never to Old to Learn Something New is true! Trust me on that one. Have a fabulous weekend and do something that makes you happy, Sandy💓

  Hi Friends, It's been a while since I've been here and I'm not going to even lie. I was caught up in trying to sell products for direct sales companies and it just wasn't working. The bottom line is I love to create not sell. With this being a New Year, I decided to quit direct sales and start over just doing what I want. I love products from all different companies and I do use them but couldn't share because it wasn't "their product". Which brings me to my most reason decision and WHY I decided to do it. Actually I have several reasons. Who doesn't like a discount, I know I do. So I pay retail for what I want and depending on how much I spend depends on my coupon so to speak, Meaning I can get up to 40% off depending on where I am on their scale. The beauty of it is when you hit certain milestones you maintain that commission. For an example I'll use me. I want to start scrapbooking my grandchildren so I needed supplies...I went to the CM s...

You can purchase products as a bundle or ala-carte. In the bundle you will get 3 different motion stamp sets plus a 4th stamp set that tells you to basically pull here. You also get the tabs die set that you can use for more than just these stamp sets, such as organization, journaling and so much more. Than you will also receive a set of blank cards and envelopes along with a pack of 6x6 double sided printed paper, and the 12x12 acetate sheets that make these cards move.. How do you get this go to my store and click on promotions to purchase or simply click here  All of this is for National Stamping Month. Once you get your kit you can go to Close to My Heart's Facebook Page under events and join CTMH on Sat the 19th of Sept for a day of learning and creating these cards. How cool is that!!! Love to see yo...
