CTMH Card Class 8/28/12

While my weekly card making buddies were making their cards yesterday afternoon, I was enjoying the movie "Ice Age-Continental Drift" with my grandson.  Luckily Joyce also has an evening class too.  I tweaked a couple of the cards when I got home to cover up little mistakes I had made in class (probably because I was trying very hard to work without sticking out my tongue, a habit I have which Joyce found particularly amusing last evening).

 This last photo is the inside of the card above it, cut using the new CTMH cricut cartridge.  And the stamps used are from a special double set of CTMH stamps available for only $5 if you purchase $35 in other products.  Check it out on Joyce's web site:  http://joyce.ctmh.com/

 

Pocket Card

Made this birthday card so I could tuck a tiny gift in the pocket.

Mojo Monday 256

I made this card for the Mojo Monday Challenge 256 (http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2012/08/mojo-monday-256.html) and for a bridal shower I'm going to in September.

When I had the gift wrapped at Bed, Bath & Beyond yesterday, the sales girl trimmed the ends of the ribbon and was about to throw it away.  Now it's on a card. and will match the package.

How cute is this?

Just a quick post to show off the adorable cupcake card I made on Saturday at Joyce's.  I'm hoping she'll make this one of our make and takes at the Stamp Scrap Art Tour  in Westminster, MD Sept. 8th & 9th.  Here's the info on the show.  http://www.stampscraparttour.com/infopage.asp?id=18
Stop by  the Close to My Heart Booth and say hi to Joyce, Betty and me.  Maybe you can make one of these.........

Comfort Cards

Sometimes you just have to make a few comfort cards.  Sometimes it's the only thing you can do.  And sometimes sharing a bit of yourself with someone else makes all the difference.

The first card I made as a make and take at my friend Joyce's Close to My Heart Open House today.
And the second card is a sympathy card I made for a member of my stamping family.
