Here are some cards featuring the July Stamp of the Month set called "Live Out Loud". I used  Dotty paper collection for the first two cards.  The top card has a pocket that holds 2 bookmarks.  I used paper from the Lucy collection for the third card, paper from Footloose for the 4th card and Dotty for the last card.  The flowers and butterflies are from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge as are the labels.
Thanks for looking, TATA!

Here are a few more cards I have made for my booth at the Lynnville Blackberry Festival.

The top card is an easel design that lays flat.  I used Close to My Heart "New Arrival" stamps on that card. My second card uses Close to My Heart paper and stamps.  The paper is from the Pemberly paper pack and the stamps are from the "American Celebration" set.  The next card features a cut from "Crocs Rule" Cricut cartridge and a sentiment from CardzTV stamp set "FAQ".  The fourth card has a cuts from "Stand and Salute" Cricut cartridge and the last card is a bookmark card using Close to My Heart stamp set "Pemberly Workshop".

I have been working on cards for the Lynnville Blackberry Festival this Saturday.  My computer has been giving me fits, but thanks to the great folks at Dell, it is put back together at last.
This is a very simple card to make. 
I used the lovely Lucy paper for the background, a flower from the Art Philosophy cart.  Added a sentiment stamp and some twine and there it is!
Thanks for looking, y'all. TATA

Moon over Madisonville!  We went out to see the bright moon and found a great viewing spot at the Madisonville City Park.  It was beautiful.
Thanks for looking, TATA!

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.
Thanks for looking, TATA

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.
Thanks for looking, TATA

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.
