The Party Is On Stamp Set

“The Party Is On” Stamp set is great for your entire party cards.

I made this birthday card for our friend Chris's 40th birthday. I thought this design needed a fire extinguisher to put our some of the candles and since he has a fire truck it made perfect sense to make create this.

Supplies

Babycakes Paper pack (Polka Dots, Slate, and Sunset used)

Silver Glitter Paper/Artiste Cricut Cartridge (For the 40)

My Acrylic Stamp Set - The Party Is On (Hostess Rewards Stamp Set)

Art Philosphy Stamp Set D1467(Stamp Sunset Cardstock with Birthday verse)

For the base card I used a pattern for cascading card that I found on SplitCoastStamper

Welcome to new beginings

Over the last few weeks, I've been thinking about how I can help other people keep there memories alive.  I did a lot research and have finally made a decision to become a Close to My Heart Consultant.  At first my thoughts were that I'll sign up and get a huge amount of supplies for the $49 and a great discount.  So that's what I did.  With all of the tools that they give you, I can see how I can help other to keep there memory's preserved as well as have fun doing it, and that makes it's all that much better.  The best part is that I can still do the digital scrapbooking as well as the traditional.  Close to my Heart has a great digital scrapbooking tool called Studio J that includes the cost of creating, printing and shipping.  It's great for the person that wants to create the professional look in 30 minutes.

Today my Close to my Heart kit arrived and I was wowed about how much product they give you in the starter kits.  I can't wait for my first gathering in two weeks to show my friends and family how they too can preserve there memories for years to come.

If you're in the Southern New Jersey area and would like to have a gathering were we can make great cards/scrapbook layouts, please email me with a date and we can have a great time. 

I will be hosting gathering and workshops at least once a month at my home.

Stop by again soon.  I'll be posting project that I'm working:)
