Operation Smile Award

'Close to My Heart" recently recognized me with this certificate and special layout for being the

" Top Operation Smile Donator for the United States  in 2015".

  I was very honored and proud to be able to help put smiles on so many children's faces by donating to this worthy cause through customer sales round-ups and my annual Stamp & Scrap Day.

Naomi Smith presenting me with my certificate.

CTMH is currently having a contest for the top Consultant donator for 2016.  That person will be able to go on one of the Operation Smile Mission Trips as a volunteer helper early in 2017.  I would love to be the one to go.  I would be honored for any contributions to this worthy cause.  In the eight years that I have been raising funds, I have been able to donate approximately $10,000 to Operation Smile.  At $240 an operation, that has put many smiles on children's faces born with cleft pallets.

Thank you for being such loyal customers, and helping these children in need.

If you would like to donate, just click on the Shopping Cart to your right.  You can place an order, or just donate to Operation Smile or contact me for help.

THANK YOU!

Stamp of the Month: Sunshine Birdies

The month is almost over.  Don't forget to order your March Stamp of the Month "Sunshine Birdies" (S1603).  This stamp set is a set of 11 stamps that are so fun.  It is only $5 with an order of $50.

Here is the card I made with the Stamp of the Month and  the Dryer Sheet Technique.  Unfortunately you can't see the sparkle of the glitter, but it is a beautiful card.  I also used the Vine Embossing Folder (Z3019) and March Stamp of the Month, Sunshine Birdies (S1603), and ShinHan Markers from CTMH.

HAPPY CREATING!

Regatta Card Workshop Cards

Here are three more of the 30 Card Workshop.  The colors are so bright.  The first two are made with the Picture My Life Cards and Zip Strips that come in the paper pack and very little stamping.

This card is made with left over strips of paper, ribbon and Gold Foil tape.

HAPPY CREATING!

Regatta Cards

Today I want to share with you cards made with the Regatta Papers from Close to My Heart.  These cards come from a 30 Card Workshop prepared by one of CTMH's talented Directors. I will share the rest with you in the next few days.  I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do. I've shown these other places and unfortunately some have gotten creased, but you can see how beautiful they turned out.

HAPPY CREATING!
