Thank you cards

Thank you cards

Nancy has been busy making thank you cards. Check it out! They were all made with CTMH paper from the Heart of Winter project pack. The white paper flowers are from CTMH and then Nancy used two of her flower punches she happened to have on hand. The cards were designed thinking of little file folders. Then the single card was made using the cute CTMH library pockets.
The thank you stamp is a CTMH stamp.
Thank you!

Sharing Ideas!

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday some of us spent the day together creating, stamping, and eating cookies made by Karin Galvin (I had TOO MANY of them - ask anyone who was here!). Robyn Tuckett was in town from Utah with her friend Debbie so we invited others to join us for the day. We had a blast.

Following are cards made by Lynn Everett using the Close To My Heart Silhouette Paper Pack and My Stickease. We all fell in love with these cards and wanted to duplicate them. Now you can too!

Thanks Lynn for sharing your artwork with all of us!

Have a great day,
Susan

True Fit Folio Book with Silhouette Paper Pack

I just love this book made out of the Close To My Heart 12 X 12 True Fit Folios. It's a great project. I made mine with the new Silhouette paper, Flower Tags, Black Ribbon Round, and Bambo cardstock.

Using pictures from my parents wedding (1950) the colors really worked well. I love my coluzzle too, so it was easy to cut out the scoups on the "pages" and add a file folder look to the tags.

Need more information, just email me at JoeSusan@aol.com

Seasons of Life

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted here, but I'm going to play a little catch up. It's been a crazy month.

First I would like to pay tribute to three people who have made the journey into eternity recently. Knowing that all three are in Heaven in the loving arms of Jesus Christ really does help the loss!

First my friend Kathi Kensinger lost her father-in-law. No matter our age, we still mourn the loss of a loved one. Kathi is a fantastic friend, and her support of her husband and mother-in-law will never be forgotten.

My friend (and upline in CTMH) lost her mother on Labor Day after a long battle with Alzeheimer's diease. This really hit home with me because (a) I love Kathy and have shared her journey (b) my father is in Stage 3 Alzeherimer's. I know what it's like. When dealing with this horrible diease, you really struggle with your emotions - not wanting your loved one to suffer yet not wanting to let go. Kathy, you have been an inspiration to me through all of this.

Lastly, a dear and special friend, Betty Lou Ferreira, lost her four month battle with cancer. Her last days were finally pain free, but it was a tough struggle. Betty Lou is one of those people who will be sorely missed because of her happy and bright personality. She had the gift of encouragement and I'll miss her from my life.

Seasons of Life. We see them more as we get older. It's a reminder to make sure you tell your family and friends how much you love them and what they mean to you. We don't always get that opportunity. I was so glad I could spend a little time with Betty Lou and share what a positive impact she has had on my life. It made our good bye bitter sweet. At least I'll see her someday in Heaven! PTL.

Hug someone today!
