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!

Sale-A-Bration starts today! Check out the fabulous new SAB catalog on the left sidebar. You can also check out the new Occasions Mini Catalog too! Remember that when you spend $50 or more in any of our catalogs you can pick a FREE items from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Who doesn't like free?

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
