Back Country

Back Country is the product set that I featured for the month of June. The paper and coordinating stickers, stamps, and embellishments have an outdoor theme that is perfect for creating projects featuring scenic vacations, outdoor adventures, or the men and boys in your life. This is the theme featured on the cover of the Summer 2009 Idea Book and is a new product.

I created kits for a photo wallet and also 3 different cards. I still have plenty of card kits remaining at $2 for a kit of 3 cards. I can also make more photo wallet kits at $5 each.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Tickled Pink!

For the month of May, Close to my Heart did a constant campaign featuring the Tickled Pink Scrapbooking Set. I have to say that I love it!!! It is one of my absolute favorite products and I hope that they add it as a regular product in a future catalog!

The set includes:

--2 Sheet Floral B&T Duos Paper (1 with Glitter)

--2 Sheet Stripe B&T Duos Paper (1 with Glitter)

--1 Sheet Blush Textured Cardstock

--1 Sheet Crystal Blue Textured Cardstock

--4 Sheets White Daisy Textured Cardstock

--1 Sheet White Daisy Textured Punch Out Shapes

--Foam Texture Tool

--Mini Medley Accents- White Daisy

--My Acrylix I Am Stamp Set (D Size)

--Project Guide featuring step by step instructions to make 2 exclusive 2 page layouts

You can get this all for $34.95 or free if you purchase $60 worth of stamps. I have to say that it is well worth the price. The stamp set is one of my favorites, I love the foam texture tool, and the Mini Medley Accents are super cute!

Even though May is over, I have 2 sets left! If you are interested, please email, call, or leave a comment and I will reserve your set. If you like the sample projects, I have 5 kits remaining with supplies and instructions to make 2-12x12 layouts and 2 invitation sized cards. The kit cost will be $3 or free if you purchase or earn a Tickled Pink set.

Here are the sample projects I made with the kit:

With one kit plus extra white cardstock I made 27- 12x12 layouts and over 28 invitation sized cards. I still have some scraps of paper left in the kit to use!
