Gift Card Swap

I'm attending my upline's upline's upline, Naomi Smith's unit meeting today, and for the creative swap we are trading gift card holders! Here's mine:

I used the new Animal Cookies Creative Basics paper and wide White Daisy grosgrain that comes with the paper. I also used the Buttoned Together stamps, Confidential stamps, and Tulip and Dutch Blue inks. I coverered the button stamp with a circle window charm and attached it with glue dots.

These stamp sets are great - and did you know that all through the month of June there will be special deals on CTMH consultant's websites where you can get 50% off as well as FREE products with the purchase of stamps! Every day is a new deal, and you can start shopping June 1st! Check out MY WEBSITE for your shopping needs - remember that 100% of my CTMH income goes to our adoption fund. :) Only 3-4 weeks remain for our fundraising.

In other news, I anticipate that many of you will want the template for the gift card, so here is the youtube video I did on it a few months back. :) Enjoy!

Cupcake Make and Take

I'm home from Tresa's retreat (boy was it a great time!), and I have so much to share with you! I think I'll draw it out over this whole week to make it more exciting.

The first thing I have to share is one of the make and takes that Tresa provided. She had us make these adorable paper cupcakes! You can go to her blog to see her tutorial. There is so much potential for these - from gift card holders to the photo display that we made.

I'm amazed mine made it home in one piece. Flying can be rough on handmade projects. :)

ps... that was Sammie when she was just a widdle, biddy baby. :)
