Just for you Card

These are 2 3x3 cards I made using the New Just For You stamp set (available 2/1).  This is also one of my door prizes for my Open House, so if you would like to get it for free, check out my Open House Details Page above.  I think this set is so sweet and simple.  I love it. Tell me what you think.  These examples show the versatility of the stamp, because you can stamp each petal a different color/pattern or leave it all one color.

Pemberley Thank You Cards

This week I am going to be showcasing some the paper and stamps that will be available in the new catalog on 2/1.  Here are 3x3 Thank You cards, I whipped up using the new Pemberley Paper Pack (available 2/1).  First  I used a circle as a template to get my partial circle.  I am a terrible free hand cutter, so I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge for it.  Then I used the edge distresser (Z1297) to rough up the edge of the circle.  I stamped the image in indian corn blue from the retired stamp set Treasures.  Lastly I used a 3/4 inch piece of Pemberley paper with the zip strip on top of that.  If you are not familiar with a zip strip.  Each sheet of CTMH double sided paper has a 1/2 inch extra border.  One side has the name of the paper and the names of the coordinating colors and the other side has a decorative border to compliment the paper perfectly.

Another Stella Altered Clipboard and Confessions

OK so I will let you in on a little secret.  I contemplated for hours on the placement of the 3D flowers on the previous altered clipboard post here.  Only to make a decision, walk out to my husband in the family room and ask his opinion.  And he said, "It looks nice but how is anyone going to write on it with those flowers at the bottom."  Ugghhh.  Can anyone relate?  So then I decided it was more of a home decor piece than a place to keep notes.  So I am working on round 2 for another option at my Open House and I am stuck.  So rather than glue something down in haste, I thought I would ask you opinion.  Please vote and soon.  My Open House is next week.

I took more liberties here than I usually do and went off on my own.  Let me know what you think.  I also refrained from inking the edges of all the card pieces.  I love inking, but I tried something new.

Stella Altered Clipboard

Here is one of the make n takes, I am making for my CTMH Open House.  The first photo shows what all the quests will be making and then I dressed them up to show how they could be used.  I would love feedback as what I had pictured in my mind is not exactly what I ended up with.

A menu planner

A place to leave a quick note

A calender
