Welcome to the Craftin' and Stampin' Crew  SWAN LAKE Blog Hop!

New Planner Alert!!!

I have to tell you that Close To My Heart really stepped up to the plate with this year's planner.  This year you have two binder options.  I purchased the Sea Glass Planner Bundle and it is absolutely beautiful.  I think that the Black and White Stripes Planner Bundle would be super fun too.  You should really check them out.  Of course if you already have your favorite binder, you can also purchase the planner pages alone.  Did I mention the planner pages?  They are perfect for those of you who love to color.  They are doodles, ready for you to give them a pop of style. Simply click on each item mentioned above and you will be able to view them directly in my independent online address. Would you love to have a chance to win a free stamp set?  Simply order the planner on the "Fall into Crafting" gathering and you will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win the "Plan On It" stamp set.  Anyone who purchases a planner from me by 11:59 pm MST

2016 Christmas Card #1

Image
It feels like it's been forever since I posted a project.  Life has been so busy and I simply have not been able to catch up.  I was so excited to spend a little time in my crafty space on a relaxing Sunday afternoon between church services. How many Christmas cards do you typically send out?  Between what I hand deliver and what I mail, I easily need around 100 per year.  It's time to get started on them.  I did find a few very nice pre-printed ones that we used several years ago.  Though I plan to use some of those, I'm still going to need a bunch more.  I can now say that I have 6 done and ready!  Yeah!!!! I absolutely love the new "Oh Deer" collection from Close To My Heart.  The colors are fabulous but they are not traditional Christmas colors.  Here's what I used to make these: Oh Deer Paper Pack White and Gold Twine October Stamp of the Month - Yuletide Joy White Daisy Card Bases Sea Glass Cardstock Versamark ink pad   Non-CTMH produc
