Jump for Joy!

 

 

Hostesses earn more rewards in March because when a Gathering reaches $250 or more in sales, the hostess jumps up to the next Hostess Rewards and Hostess Rewards Plus! levels. Now that’s a reason to jump for joy!

 

*Shipping/handling and tax applies. Only Gatherings with a total of $250 or more will qualify for the jump in Hostess Rewards or Hostess Rewards Plus!. Qualifying hostesses will receive Hostess Rewards from one level only—the level that is one higher than their sales total.

 

**For example, have a gathering of $250 and receive a "JUMP" to $60 in free products AND select any one item in the book for 50% off!  (Normaly a hostess with $250 in sales would receive $40 in free products and one item in the book for 50% off).

 

AND the first 5 hostesses who have a gathering (of $250) or more will receive a free stamp pad from me!  CALL TODAY!!!!!

 

Dates: Offer valid March 1–31, 2013.

 

To have a gathering call me at 317.480.2493!

Home is wherever I'm with You!

Today, I'm playing over at colourQ.  They have picked out a gorgeous set of colors for us to play with.



I'm also entering this in the Sweet Stop Sketch.

I have used retired papers from Close To My Heart, wrinkled ribbon, tangerine borders cut from CTMH Cricut cartridges and one of the CTMH February Stamp of the Month.

Thank you for looking! 

XOXO

Endometrial Cancer and ColourQ Challenge #173

Today I'm playing along with the ladies over at ColourQ.  The inspiration is a family member who is fighting Endometrial Cancer and the ribbon color is peach.  This fit perfectly with the color combination: 

 

 

I made a swing card using a paperset I bought from Joane Fabrics.  The cancer stamp set is from Unity.  I added color and bling with the pearls and peach ribbon.

 

 

 

I'm really hoping this card raises her spirits and lets her know we are thinking of her.

 

Thank you for taking a look, and always be a "Crafty Queen"!

Happy "Tweet" Birthday!

I am having so much fun making different kinds of folding cards.  There are so many different types of ways to have cards folded.  When I learn to make a new card, I'm just giddy!

 

Today, I decided to make my mom's birthday card and learn how to make a tag pop-up card at the same time.  What a treat!  At first I started by using scrap paper and worked out the bugs.  After that I used my mom's two favorite colors, blue and yellow cardstock.  I used a retired CTMH stamp set, I believe called How Tweet.  I also used the CTMH Indian Corn Blue Ink pad.

I know mom is just going to love this card!  I think it's just so tweet!

 

 

Until next time, be the best Crafty Queen you can be!

My Favorite {CTMH} Things" Blog Hop

Welcome to the "My Favorite {CTMH} Things" Blog Hop!

 

Love is in the air and today our Playing With Paper team is sharing artwork featuring some of our favorite products from CTMH. If you have come here from Carol Haines Du Ree then you are on the right path.

 

Today I have created a card just for my valentine so I needed the card to have a masculine feel to it.  I used a paper layering technique to stamp the flowers in Ruby ink.  Then I cut black cardstock and framed the 3 layers of Daisy paper.  I cut a 1 1/2 inch rectangle4 using the CTMH Cricut AP cartridge in Daisy and the layer in Ruby.  I stamped the "Happy Valentines Day" tag and assembled the card.  I absolutely love this large rose stamp.  This is a very good stamp to use for all kinds of backgrounds.  This SOTM selection is DEFINETLY a keeper! 

 

Items used:

CTMH Ruby stamp pad

CTMH Ruby cardstock

CTMH Black cardstock

CTMH Black stamp pad

CTMH Daisy cardstock

CTMH Happy Valentine's Stamp of the Month (January)

CTMH  Cricut Art Philosphy cartridge

CTMH Silver tape lined ribbon

Black ribbon (from my stash)
