You don't want to miss out on getting that stamp set that has been on your wish list. You can order online here and you can combine your order with any clearance rack items or other fabulous products.

A great idea!

Happy Tuesday everyone! As many of you know, I am a blog hopper. I love finding new blogs and seeing what other creative people come up with. While on Pinterest (my new addiction) I found this really cool blog. Check it out!

I love these little tags that she created for those fabric bins you can find almost anywhere. I have tried almost everything to try and get labels to stick. I never even thought of tags! Duh! Simplicity is always the best. Plus, I am a sucker for free printables.

I will post pictures of my tags shortly. I am in the process of creating my final projects for my Kids Valentine's Class on Thursday. I will post those projects as well!

Love and Sympathy

Todays post is bittersweet. While I love the card, I hate that I have to use it. That is the problem with sympathy cards. If you have one, you will have to send it. I am just hoping that this one gives a big hug to the wonderful lasy that I have to send it to. She lost her wonderful husband suddenly on New Years Day.

This card was cased from Dawn O. I love her blog. You can see her original post here. My mantra this year is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I love the simplicity of this card.

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Love and Sympathy Clear Mount
Card Stock: Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Ink: Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive
Accessories: Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, Big Shot, Finial Press Embossing Folder.

Like what you see? Join me for a class on February 9th. We will be making 3 cards and you will get this stamp set and more to take home with you.

Cost: $16.95 for Clear Mount Stamp Set Class
$20.95 Wood Mount Stamp Set Class

Please RSVP (email or phone) by January 19th so that I can pre-order your stamp sets for you to use at the class.

Thanks for looking!
Melissa

Happy New Year 2012!

I cannot believe that it is 2012. December flew by with so many projects and things to do. I know I have been neglecting my blog and I am working on trying to fix that. Being a mom to small children and even a not-so-small teenager has kept me busy and away from here. I am back!

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy New Years Eve. Ours was wonderful. Food, Fun and Friends. I am looking forward to all that God has in store for me and my family in 2012.

Happy New Year!
Melissa
