Heart 2 Heart Challenge: Christmas Critters
I am excited to share an artwork piece with you that is shared as part of the Heart 2 Heart Challenge for this week. The theme is "Christmas Critters". You can participate by finding the associated post and inserting your link at the bottom. There is only one requirement and that is that you incorporate Close To My Heart products in your creation. That's super easy, so why not join?
This card is a creative design shared by my friend and downline, Cindi Tolliver. I am thankful she allowed me to recreate it. It's simple and festive...and isn't that reindeer cute?
You can get both the stamp set and the coordinating Thin Cuts which allows you to get a quick die cut image that you can stamp on and then color, with ease.
Join our Christmas Critters Challenge or any of our other December challenges. They don't close until December 31, 2017!

On the 10th day of Christmas...
Not sure what Flip Flaps are nor what you can do with them?! Flip Flaps allow you to add more artwork and photos to your traditional scrapbook layouts. Simply slide photos or other artwork into the pocket and use the adhesive strip to attach.
Here are some gifts that allow you to see Flip Flaps in action. They are super easy to use and add FUN to any project!
Flip Flaps can also be used to "hide" journaling that might be personal and not for everyone to see or...sometimes you have that one picture that isn't perfect but is necessary for preserving a memory. Insert it into a Flip Flap and you can still enjoy the photo without it being exposed to all.
If you would like for me to show you how to use them, let me know. I'd be happy to do so!
Contact me before 11:30 pm today (CST) to select this special and get two tickets into the drawing.

Resolutions - Blog with Friends
Sometimes we all need some inspiration and what better what to provide it than through some happy mail that arrives in a mailbox? You know our mailboxes tend to get overloaded with not-so-fun stuff and these handmade greeting cards are sure to brighten someone's day!
I'm thrilled this post is being shared in conjunction with my "Blog with Friends" Group. They are each highlighting some fun topics associated with the theme, "Resolutions", perfect for this time of the year. When you are done reading my message, you'll find their links listed below. Be sure to check them out!
Investing in others doesn't have to cost much and when you make a handmade card like these, you also give a bit of your heart. I don't receive much happy mail but I do enjoy it when I do. However, I have the opportunity to give or mail cards for any occasion I choose - or none at all - and try to do so often. It is a goal of mine to send more out in 2018. (To get on my mailing list, join my VIP group. That's the best way for me to obtain your contact information and get to know you better!)
Here are photos of each of the other two cards I will be teaching in a card class in February. You get the sneak peek! (You can participate in person or virtually. Contact me with interest or questions.)
I had fun creating these greetings cards with the same color scheme and hope you like the results.
These are the images used and contained in the "Notes of Inspiration" stamp set. I love them and they are perfect for inspiring others or giving them a little encouragement which is often needed.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Leave a comment and let me know which card or sentiments if your favorite. Then check out these topics on my friend's posts:
- White Chocolate Raspberry Refrigerator Cheesecake
- Revamped Pizza Poppers
- Top Ten Tips on How to Stick to (New Year’s) Resolutions
- New Year, Same Me.
