Happy Halloween!

A blast from the past - FRANK!

This is a vintage DOTS/CTMH stamp from the ol' days.  He and his wife Honey were quite popular!  I created this card using the new Twitterpated papers.  I also used reinker to turn our white paint into Sweet Leaf paint for the Foundry Bookplate.  Enjoy and Happy Halloween!

This was a fun card we made at my workshop last Saturday.  We used liquid glass and fun flock on the tree and house to make it look like snow.  It's a little hard to see in the photo, but it's cute in person.  Enjoy!

Scrapbook Funny/Joke

Pin It I saw this and thought it was too funny!

Top 10 Signs of a Scrapbook Addict 

1. You're the only one at a social gathering yelling, "Just one more photo, folks; I don't have enough for a two-page spread!
2. A regular sandwich is no longer acceptable--it must be cropped or cut with decorative edges.
3. You try to claim your album purchases as a medical expense because it's such good "therapy".
4. You buy a new pink swimsuit because it matches the pink photo mounting paper.
5. You decide to give your child piano lessons so you'll be able to use the musical instrument stickers that are in the Big Pack.
6. You redecorate your family room to coordinate with your photo album covers.
7. Your three year old wants to know if her coloring book is "archival quality".
8. Your three-year-old wants to know if her coloring book is "archival quality."
9. Scraps from your corner rounder cuttings can be found in unusual places: school lunch bags, briefcases, the laundry, the dog's water bowl.
10. Of course a scrapbook addict doesn't follow a 12 step program but a 12 x 12 step one.

Eyelets, Eyelets, & More Eyelets

Pin It I LOVE LOVE LOVE our new Soft Set Eyelet Kit! I was shocked at how easy it was to use the first time I tried it and so were my customers.  Close to My Heart's new eyelets are notched so they split open very easily when a slight bit of pressures is added using the special eyelet setter.  Here are a few cards I made recently:
