Hope for Japan

From now until April 30, purchase the exclusive “Hope for Japan” A-size stamp set for the special price of only $5 (retail value $7.95) and Close To My Heart will donate 100% of the profits to the American Red Cross’ efforts in Japan. This beautifully designed stamp set reminds us of how our hearts are hopeful for those who are in need.

Easter Layout

This layout was made using all Colonial White cardstock. It uses several techniques including random stamping, the spray pen, sponging, background stamps, and border stamps. The bunnies were meant to be colored in later if desired (after the class). It was designed to coordinate with the Miracle collection of papers. I have 2 kits still available for $3 each.

Mayberry

I am featuring Mayberry for the month of March. This is my favorite collection from the Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book! It has a wonderful spring/summer feel, a few basic patterns, and a cute patchwork paper and floral paper. The accessories and stamps are whimsical and cute featuring trees, fruit, bicycles, and kites. I also feel that ths is a great compliment to the March Stamp of the Month!

Check out your March newsletter for details about this month's crop or contact me.
