Here's a simple card to make for new parents. I've used the stamp set that comes with the Snowhaven Card WOTG Kit (G1085). The sentiment inside the oval frame talks about Christmas and sweaters. I cut that out so it's just the frame and then I can use any sentiment in the middle. The papers are scraps from Snowhaven and Wanderful. Don't you just love the textures on these little hearts?
A new baby brings so much joy so I had to add this little word to the back of the envelope. Two of CTMH's ne…

I'm looking forward to making all my Christmas gift tags with this stamp set but the one stamp that r…
Mike and I have had a fabulous time travelling in Cornwall. It is such a pretty corner of the world.
This layout is one I adapted a little bit from the Wanderful WOTG kit. (G1088) Once again, we have taken far too many photos so I had to find a way to squeeze extras onto the page. Not shown in this photo are the Flip Flaps I will be adding to the layout at home. I'm really excited to have a pack of 15 3" x 4" Flip Flaps (Z3027)in our range now. I print most of my photos in this size and I …
YAY! Reunited with our gorgeous daughter and her boyfriend after 3 months apart. They have been having the time of their lives volunteering with a group called Soft Power Education in Uganda. We've followed their blog and chatted on Skype but it's just not the same as having a hug! I plan to make the most of my time with them over the next 2 weeks we have together. Here's those little journal box and travel log stamps again from the Wanderful WOTG kit. I added the cute heart cluster from t…
I am at a stage of life where so many of my friends or their young adult children are travelling. I often give a small gift before they depart and thought having a few Bon Voyage type cards would be useful. Here's my first one made with some scraps left over from my Wanderful pages.
The stamps on the card come from Here We Go (D1600) I just love that globe! To create a 3D look I cut out the globe and daubed the edges. I also added a little daubing on the card base at the points the globe wou…
When travelling in a hire car in a foreign country, do you have trouble deciding who is the boss? Is it the navigator or the driver? You know what I'm saying here, don't you? After several trips I have figured out the answer - the GPS Girl is the boss! I just tell her where we want to end up and she bosses Mike endlessly throughout the drive. "Perform a U-turn when safe to do so"; "Make a left hand turn in 400m"; "Re-calibrating route". I love her! I have named this GPS girl Sally Seasi…
My mum lives in an aged care facility. She has dementia. Mum has always loved little albums filled with photos of our family. They help her remember who we all are. One other benefit I've discovered is that they help staff to know a bit about the person mum is and the family she belongs to. In the past I used Creative Memories paper albums but they don't exist anymore. I'm thrilled to have discovered the Close To My Heart Hip Pics albums (Z1956) do the job perfectly.

Today's post features some beautiful cards made by my team members and colleagues for last weekends product launch. They are sure to get your creative juices flowing. I'm on a mission to encourage more people to create and mail handmade cards 'Just Because' they can. We only receive dreary bills and statements in our letterboxes these days. Let's brighten someone else's day by writing a card and posting. I'd love to hear how your friends and family react when they receive them.
This clever idea is one shared by a fellow consultant, Doris Taylor, at a recent consultant crop day. Having a tendency to crazy cat lady behaviours myself, I couldn't resist making up a couple for this card. I plan to send it to a lady I have recently met - I know we are going to become firm friends.
