Guest Artwork!

Sorry, it's not Close To My Heart but my friend made this great gift for her mother-in law for Mother's Day. They love to play games so she spelled out their last name with scrabble tiles. She put the letters together on the copier, enlarged it from wallet sized to 8.5 x 11 and cut the letters apart. The letters really look like wood. I think it turned out very cute so I wanted to share it.

Do you have this stamp set yet?

We spend so much time making our cards and gifts make sure you finish them off with this great stamp set Crafted with Love on page 108 of the Idea Book. This short video shows you not only how they look on the back of a card.....but the front as well.

May 2012 Stamp of the Month "Friendship Bouquet"

This beautiful stamp set includes these pretty flowers along with these sayings: Treasured Friend, Plant a seed of friendship; reap a bouquet of happiness, thanks so much, and your friendship means so much to me.

It would look so nice using a blending pen or watercolor pencils to color it in.

You can purchase this set for $17.95 or get it for only $5 with any $50 purchase from Close To My Heart.

This set is only available during the month of May.

Summer Card Class

I have had several customers ask about a card class so I will be offering one in June. We will make 8 different cards(w/envelopes) using the Under the Sea stamp set on page 41 of the Idea Book and Footloose paper from page 40. This picture shows 4 of the cards. The class will be held on two different days. Choose from Friday, June 8, at 6 p.m. or Saturday, June 9 at 9 a.m. I will even have all the paper precut. Buttons may vary slightly in an effort to keep the cost down. The cost is $16. We will use the blending pen, glitter & more. RSVP to mebfalcon@yahoo.com or 402-990-5631 by Thurs. May 17.
