Orange You Sweet

This was a thank you card for a very fun person!  She sent a bag full of fun treats to the Monkey Man with a card saying Orange You Glad It's Summer!!  Close To My Heart just so happened to have a fun stamp set that we could use for the Thank You card.  The Taste of Sumer paper packet and stamp set were a limited time offer and aren't available any longer... but I couldn't help but share.

I like you a latte!

OH MY GOODNESS!  I absolutely love the Close To My Heart stamp set called Treats of Friendship.  This set isn't in our Annual Inspiration but you can find it in the Seasonal Expressions 2.

Please excuse the darkness of the pictures.  I made these and tried to take pictures when there was only rain and no sunshine in Colorado for almost a month!  On these cards I was challenging myself to use another Picture My Life Scrapbooking system.  I chose Balloon Ride.  Keep in mind that what they have pictured online is only a sampling of the cards included in the purchase and they are all front and back too! 

 

 

 

Teacher Appreciation

I'm excited to have had a chance to play with the Chalk it Up Picture My Life cards.  I made these for teacher appreciation in May... so I'm a little behind in posting them... but I really wanted to share how they turned out.

I'm definitely a rookie in using the Picture My Life cards from Close To My Heart.  Last summer at convention in California there was a presentation from someone using the Picture My Life Scrapbooking Programs from CTMH but the challenge was that they couldn't scrapbook with them!  That was a neat idea to me because I hadn't thought of using them for cards before that.

I'm also using the Teacher Appreciation stamp set that I have had laying around begging to be used. 

I'm really happy with how quickly these came together and I hope the teachers liked them too.  Have a great weekend!
