PAPER POUCH ALBUM

 How cute is this?

Angela Tutton was kind enough to share this

 "My Creations Pouch Album"

 she received from her upline, Naomi Smith,

 as a convention gift. 

 It was decorated in the theme of our

Close to My Heart Convention this year called VIVA.

 Each page also has a pull out tab

 that can hold additional photos or journaling.

Thanks Angela for sharing!

HAPPY CREATING!

Check out this sneak preview of one of our new products available August 1st.  These Spinner Cards are so fun to make.  I've actually done several in the new paper packs for fall, but you will have to wait until August 1st when I post them.

                                               This card uses the Surf's Up papers.

SURF'S UP CARDS

This is the last of our series of Unit members cards.

  I hope you have enjoyed seeing how different they all are.

This was my card for the exchange.  It is a great way to use up scraps.

SCRAPBOOK ELEMENTS - CHANTILLY

I just realized I haven't posted my Scrapbook Elements in awhile.  This one was a couple months ago and is from

 the Close to My Heart  Chantilly paper pack (X7163B). 

 These elements can actually be used on cards,

 papercrafts and scrapbook pages.

Getting some ideas?  Give them a try!

OPERATION SMILE - DISPLAY BOARD

I was lucky enough to win the bid for this

 Display Board at

Close to My Heart's Operation Smile Auction

 at Convention in Orlando in June.  We raised over $20,000 at the auction from our consultants.  That means several kids can have facial surgeries and new smiles!

I was also recognized as the 4th highest donation contributor to

 Operation Smile from Close to My Heart for last year. 

 Thanks to all my customers for all the times

 you rounded up your sales tickets. 

 Thanks to everyone that supports my January

Operation Smile Crop and Auction.

  It's because of you that we all make a difference

 in the lives of so many children.

THANK YOU!

SCRAPBOOK ELEMENTS- SURF'S UP

Each month I participate in a

 Scrapbook Elements Exchange for items  that can be used

 on my scrapbook pages.  This month it was Surf's Up. 

 These elements include circular frames, borders,

 titles ,6"x 6" page, banners, dimensional elements, joiurnaling spots, envelopes and so much more by some very talented ladies.  

To view larger, just click on the picture.

I hope this gives you some suggestions

 on ways to embellish your scrapbook pages (or cards and crafts).

Happy Creating!
