Thank you notes and card box

Here are the long awaited thank you notes and card box that I mentioned quite a while. This uses the elemental paper pack which I have mentioned I love! The my creations box comes white so you can embelish it anyway you want. The strip on the edge of the b&t is so nice. Notice it down the side of the card? The box with 8 thank you cards are going to go into a basket for a charity auction along with some other things I'm working on.

Cherish the Day

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stamp set. I think it is so versatile. I haven't used it for a layout yet (but I will). I have a couple of cards that I have made below. You can purchase this stamp set for $17.95 or if you purchase $50 of CTMH product you can get it for only $5! But hurry because this set is only available until November 30, 2011.




















This one uses elemental....did I tell you it's one of my favorites? I think it will be great for male or female birthdays. Do you like that Make a Wish strip down the left side? It's from the top of the elemental paper. Just a thin strip that makes the paper even more versatile.



This one uses Bella, which is now retired, along with a retired stamp set. There are many other papers and complimentary stamp sets (or die cuts) you could use to recreate this card.

Finally.....Some New Layouts

Sorry for the delay in getting some layouts posted. Here are some I have done with old pictures of my son when he was a baby....he's 17 now!

These first layouts use Elemental....probably my favorite of the new paper packs. Perfect for many things. You will see cards made with this paper soon.








































These layouts use Believe. I really like the younger Christmas paper with Santas and true red and green.
