Lovely Florals Thank You Card
Making a stunning handmade card doesn’t have to involve a lot of tricky techniques or fancy folds. Sometimes the simple act of adding layers can make for a real showstopper. That’s exactly what this thank you card I received from Judy Faye Garner is–a stunning beauty!

DIY Tall Halloween Treat Pouch
Happy Halloween! Today there are no tricks, just treats for you! I’m going to show you how you can create these cute (and easy) Tall Treat Pouches. While my sample today is Halloween themed, I can easily see this project duplicated for Christmas and filled with candy canes or other tall treats for the holiday. Grab your favorite patterned paper, your Paper Trimmer, some strong double-sided adhesive and a Bone Folder and let’s get started.
How to Use Up Your Scraps for Scrapbook Layouts
If you’re like me, you have a tough time parting ways with pretty paper–no matter how small the piece is. I’ve definitely gotten better over the years by trying to hold true to my new rule of the “scrap” must be at least a 3″x 3″ piece before I save it. For this reason, today’s blog post by Close To My Heart definitely piqued my interest!
Fall is in the Air
It’s the final few days to grab the Close To My Heart October Stamp of the Month, Autumn Air. This stamp set has a great variety of images–from outline and solid leaf images to sentiments and even a fun border image.
A Look at the Days of December Special
Today I wanted to share a quick 5-minute video that takes you through the completed Days of December Album that is on special right now with Close To My Heart.

Today’s project is so quick and easy to put together and makes such a great presentation for a gift card. And with the holiday season just around the corner, you’ll definitely want to make some of these yourself!
