Cricut, CTMH Hostess Gifts and Favors "Dotty For You"

So I made these post it note holders from my favorite CTMH stamp set "Crafted With Love" , "Dotty For You" card stock, matching inks and my AP cartridge.  I have had so much fun making these for my hostesses and as give a away's for an upcoming expo I am doing this weekend. Sorry but no matter what I do my picture program will not get this flipped right when I try to upload it here. This is frustrating me and I am posting it anyway! I hope you like them. I love that I can now use my cricut and my stamps together :)

Happy Mothers Day!!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all my blogging friends!! May your day be filled with Happiness & Hugs!!!

I am quite proud of this tag. I used my Tim Holtz Distress stains, clear embossing powder, My Creative Time teeny tag greetings stamps, copics and tulle. I made this for a great friend who is moving soon and I will miss her dearly. I hope she likes it! It's supposed to be a surprise but if she sees it here first I think it will be ok.

New Class Added For May!! Learn to Color with Alcohol Ink Markers pt 1

So exciting we just got in stock at the store I teach at a "New" kind of alcohol ink markers by Crafters Companion called "Spectrum Noir" We carry 72 colors of the 168 color palette.

They blend very nicely and are made with the crafter in mind. They are a bit less expensive than some of the other markers.
