I know.  Who in their right minds is already thinking about Christmas?  I am.  I have such a long Christmas card list that I wanted to get an early start this year.  I set a goal.  Ready?  My goal is to make 10 cards per week until I have enough.  Lets see if I can do it.  Here is this week's card. For inspiration, I turned a 4X4 card that I found in the current Close to my Heart Idea Book into an A2 sized card. I love the end result!   Here's what I used from Close To My Heart: Christmas Post Stamp Set Ruby and Black Exclusive Inks Ruby Cardstock New England Ivy Cardstock Colonial White Cardstock Colonial White Cardbases Bronze Shimmer Trim Honeycomb Embossing Folder Sparkles Brown and Tan Assortment Foam tape I also used some other embossing folders to give it some variety.

  Sometimes the simplest cards can be so sweet.  That is the case with this one.  It took just a few minutes to make and was the perfect gift enclosure.  Here's what I used: White Daisy Cardstock Family is Forever CTMH stampset (no longer available from CTMH) Black Exclusives ink pad Cuddly Salutations stamp set Shin Han Twin markers in Mahogany and Pastel Green Blossom paper packet 3 Girl JAM Daffodil crinkle ribbon Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Nearly every month, I get together with a nice group of ladies and we create with Close To My Heart products. Often we will use a Workshop on the Go.  When we use those, there are always extra supplies.  I encourage each lady to make something using those extra supplies.  Sometimes I will choose a theme to follow and other times, its just "Anything Goes". In June, we used the Blossom Workshop on the Go which you can find here.   This set comes with all the paper supplies, embellishments and a stamp set that you need to make 15 cards.  Simply add adhesive and ink and you're ready to go.  I then began using the scraps to make extra projects. This card was made completely from the "leftovers".  I think it is beautiful.  I love the colors and the way everything blends so well together.  All I had to add was the adhesive and Black Exclusives ink which here can find here .     Thanks so much for stopping by today.
