Sporadic Postings

Sorry I haven't been keeping up like I hoped I would, but here's a couple of updates.

I won a glue prize from Helmar.com - all kinds of their zapdots - black clear and white, and some all purpose glue, and a tape runner. They are absolutely the best adhesives I have ever used ! Go on to their Facebook page and like them, and follow their blog too !

I also got 2 sets of Basic Grey stamps and a set of rubons from Kinderstampo.com - Jess is a very talented artist and you need to find her Facebook page and blog. She's also part of the McGill punch team, and she makes the best videos.

Then I got a few sets of Adornit letters from My Little Showbox - again - I just love their little letters - so many colors and different fonts.

And if you weren't aware that I am an addict to Paperwishes.com free tag downloads, you shoould be now. Just like I told you before, all you have to do is go to their site, type in free downloads in the search box, and it pops up 3 pages of paper pack. Within those descriptions is the link to download the tags. They are ALWAYS wonderful. Today I just downloaded Nature's Watercolors, Christmas splendor, Vintage Christmas, Lacy Paper and Roses in Harmony. They all blew me away - especially the Lacy Paper and Roses in Harmony. They print out nice on regular cardstock, but if you want a little more heft to them, try watercolor paper - Michael's has Canson paper pads of all kinds on sale thru Saturday for 50% off ! They are a little wider than 8.5 x 11, so you will have to trim it down to fit in your printer. Also sign up for their newsletters and their free catalog. They have a great online catalog, but I like getting it in the mail - there are so many ideas and inspirations in them.

Guess I was a little long winded - but there was alot to say - I have CTMH card class on Saturday and I will take pictures of what they have us make. Oh - and one more thing - go to CTMH.com and look for a consultant - I'd love it if you picked Joanie Ochsner - she's one of my local consultants, and get yourself the CTMH exclusive Cricut cart. It is a super deal with the stamps, the 3 sheets of chipboard sheets and the cart - all for $99 - and in the new Idea book, they have outlined in red the stamps that will work with the cart.

More New Free Tags

If you like vintage or Steampunk, these are the tags for you ! PaperWishes.com has just come out with a new collection of papers, and they have included a free download of tags just for you ! All you have to do is go to the link, type free download in the search box, and hit search. On the first page, down on the bottom, click the Steampunk package, and there is your link to the download.

I just love PaperWishes - their catalogs are free, fun, and full of inspiration. The online catalog features videos and closeups and just as much fun. This company has everything you could want for scrapbooking and cardmaking. Please download the tags, take a look around and maybe even order some of their fantastic product. You will not be disappointed !

Super coupon from Michaels !

I stopped into my Michaels the other day, and they have cleared a huge area for new Tim Holtz goodies !!! Talked to the gal, and she hoped to have them all up by last night. Guess where I will be stopping by on the way out of town today ?

Never got very far on fixing up the blog, and my new meds keep me asleep for a good part of the day. Will try to start posting again. Found the camera and charger, intended to take pics at the hotel this week, but the naps took over all on their own. So now, my project is to sort them by cards I've received from swaps, cards I've made thru CTMH classes, and cards I have made all on my own. Some of them are pretty old. Going to also sort by thank you, birthday, gift card holders, 3d items, and have an album to keep them all. Spring is waking me uo !
