Rock the Block Reminder

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Rock the Block promotion ends Tuesday, Jan. 31. If you want to take advantage of the terrific promotion you need to make sure you order soon. To receive this great E-sized Rock the Block stamp set and Collage Cubes all you have to do is head over to my website and make a minimum order of $25 from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book and then you get BOTH the stamp set and cubes for only $15!!

Close to My Heart always seems to amaze me with the great products and promotions that they come up with each month.  There are so many things you can do with your Collage Cubes.  Here are just a few examples of what I did with mine.

Valentine's Day cards made affordable

If you are making your own Valentine's Day cards this year. Let Close to My Heart make it affordable.  Go to my website to find the Sweetheart papers for 77% off and let the love flow.

If you are new to making your own cards, try the Wishes or Originals Card Confidence Books. They come with a CD that holds templates for your cards and handmade envelopes. They are also filled with instructions on making handmade cards and beautiful pictures to spark your creativity.

There is always one I am sad to lose

I shared with you earlier this week a list of the papers and stamps that will be retired at the end of this month.  In that group, was the Sophia papers. I have to say that just looking at these papers makes me smile. There is just something so charming about them.  So when planning a party that is at the end of this month I thought I would show off Sophia one more time. Inspired by the Originals layout "Clean Cut"
