Help the Oklahoma Tornado Victims - A True Thank You

My heart broke over the devastation in Oklahoma after the tornadoes. Like so many others, I wanted to do something to help. 

Close To My Heart is making it easy to offer some assistance to those in need. From May 23 - June 30, the stamp set pictured here is available for early purchase from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. One hundred percent of profits from the sales will be donated to the American Red Cross to aid victims from the Oklahoma tornado. The stamp set is $2.95 and is available on my website. 

Will you join me in helping those in Oklahoma?

Dream Pop Birthday Card

My oldest son celebrated his 22nd birthday earlier this month, and of course he had to have a special, hand-made card from Mom! I knew our gorgeous Dream Pop papers would be perfect. I wanted to try inking the resist cardstock to see what it would look like, and I L-O-V-E the results! I inked Outdoor Denim over the green resist paper and created an entirely new look.

The Dream Pop papers are only available for another week - $10 with a $35 order.
