Here is a cute layout I finished today.  One of the reasons I moved to Tennessee was to be close to one of my children.  I took two of her daughters to a wonderful children's museum (A'museum) in Columbia, TN last week and here are some of the photos from our adventure.
Thanks for looking, TATA!

These are a few cards I have been working on this week.  I think each of them would be appropriate for many different occasions, such as birthday, Mother's Day, thinking of you, graduation.  I also used a new technique on the top card.  I colored some seam binding to match the ink used for the flowers on the card!  It works so nicely with Close to My Heart inks.

Wow, am I ever behind with this layout!  But, with the CTMH stamps and paper it was very quick and easy to put together (at last).  I love these pics and finally they are ready for the scrapbook.

CTMH Layout

For this layout I used some precious pics of one of my granddaughters who loves to look in the mirror!  The paper is from the Stella group as are the embellishments.  This was so very easy to put together using items from kit G1032 from Close to My Heart.  I would advise getting this kit for sure!  It has a stamp set, lots of embellishments and enough paper to do 2 complete 2 page layouts with paper to spare.

CTMH Layout

HI, FRIENDS!! As I posted earlier, I am now a Close to My Heart consultant and I am so excited to be with this company. I have really been putting off so many scrapbooking project for several years now, ugggg. But since I have started getting started with CTMH, I have found myself totally engaged in creating layout pages again. This post is from February 2012. I used my Art Philosophy cartridge to creat so many things for this page. The border is from page 70 and the corners are founds on page 58. I love this cartridge! The stamping is from the CTMH stamp set S1203 called "Potential". I used the Cricut Craft room for the letters from the Cricut Alphabet Cartidge, font 2.

Merry Christmas to all

Today is Christmas Eve and I wanted to post a most blessed Merry Christmas to all. I have had many Christmas Eve's in my life and it seems that as I age, I have so many different emotions at Christmas. All are very good, wonderful memories and fellowship. Beautiful music, worship at church and Christian fellowship fill my memories.
I pray that any of you that drop by my blog today are blessed with a very special holiday filled with memories.
God Bless You All!

Cardz Tv Challenge 2 "Crafty Christmas"

I made a banner for my mantle using the Elegant Edges cartridge for the bases and the Storybook Cartridge for the letters.  I had some pretty pointsettias in my "stash" and so I put them on the banner.  It was very easy to make and looks pretty as it hangs!  Thanks for looking, TATA

Cricut Cardz Challenge # 97

I kinda, sorta, well I did "scrap-lift" this from Mary, but I love the baby Jesus with all my heart.  One of my most favorite listening at this time of year is Handel's Messiah.  "For Unto Us a Child is Born" tells of the wonderful coming of Jesus' birth.  Thanks for looking, TATA
