All of my cards are made using the Caboodle Level 2 Paper Packet:

The flowers and flower box are chalked:


And the inside of the card:



Now "hop" on over to Pamela O'Connor's blog to see her fabulous work! You won't be disappointed -- she does great work!

Dare to Dream #3: Acrylic Stamps

When CTMH switched from wood stamps to acrylic several years ago, I wasn't sure I would like the change. It only took one time stamping with the new acrylics, though, to change my mind. I love these beautiful stamps! Here's why:

  • Cost effective - The price points are much lower than wood stamps.
  • Quality - CTMH stamps are made from a material that is superior to other acrylic stamps -- durable and high quality to give a good impression.
  • Easy to use - Peel from the carrier sheet, attach to the acrylic block, stamp, clean, and put the stamp back on the carrier sheet! Easy!
  • Storage - The stamps come in a cute little 6x6 heavy plastic envelope -- so easy to store! They're lightweight, too, making it easy to take them along to your next crop.
  • Design - Gorgeous, current designs with a lot of variety. There's something for everyone!

Seven years ago, I made the decision to become a CTMH consultant, and I have never regretted that decision. I took a one-year hiatus after starting back to college, but I missed it so much that I came back about 18 months ago. This company ROCKS, and they are offering you an amazing deal if you sign up during the month of March to be a consultant.

In addition to over $300 worth of products and supplies to start your business for only $99, you will also receive all four Stamp of the Month sets from the upcoming Summer Idea book! That's another $91.80 value -- FREE! You will also have the stamp sets before any other consultant can order them. Sweet!!


I'll be sharing 30 reasons why you should become a CTMH consultant in March. I love what I do and would love to share that with YOU! Signing up is so easy -- just go to my website {here}. On the "Your Opportunities" page, scroll to the bottom and click on the link that says "click here" next to "To sign up or for more information to become a Consultant." The link will take you to the electronic application and will designate me as your sponsor (upline). Like everything with CTMH, it is faster, simpler, and easier! I look forward to hearing from you!
