I did use a retired SU DSP set but I'm so in love with this paper pack that I'm rapidly using up the four sets that I bought {before I use them for what I really wanted them for!! Scrapbooking my Vegas trip!! LOL}!! Anyway, this card uses the Jackpot DSP, Real Red, Basic Black and So Saffron cardstock, Game Night stamp set, and black ribbon from my stock.

It is also the birthday of a dear friend, Jill. Last night was the first NYE we didn't spend together in many, many years so we weren't able to celebrate her birthday either.

I used a stamp from the Hero Arts Beautiful Peacocks set. Love it! I colored in a little of the peacock using Copic's Spica Glitter Pen in Turquoise. I also added a tiny sparkle from CTMH on the eye as well. The inside sentiment is from the Hero Arts Beautiful Peacocks set too. I'm really pleased with how this card turned out!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02545422413168544582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646972524100518131.post-26398472920780801762010-12-24T18:36:00.000-08:002010-12-24T18:44:42.285-08:00Christmas Cards<div>Here are two Christmas cards that I made up this year.

Yesterday I signed up for a class entitled "Journal Your Christmas". It is supposed to begin on December 1 but I'm so excited I'm beginning now! I'm also excited because I think this might be the perfect activity for Emma and I to do together. Unfortunately she is sleeping right now and it is taking everything in my power to not wake her up and tell her about my idea. Luckily tomorrow will come quickly! Tonight I am searching for the perfect album to house my journaling in. I don't want the standard square album. I want something unique. I'm thinking that a 2-up album just might do the trick, well, at least for Emma. We'll see about me. What I do know for sure is that when I find it, I'll know it.</span>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02545422413168544582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646972524100518131.post-76555667582612721772010-11-13T10:50:00.000-08:002010-11-24T20:53:22.164-08:00Time sure does fly!!!<span style="font-family:courier new;">I really need to update my blog a bit but in the meantime, I'm just adding a post about this site that I've recently become a member of.

CTMH is having an AMAZING sale! It is only while supplies last and only available via a consultant’s website! I apologize but I cannot place your order for you! A list of the products that are going to be available to purchase so you can plan your shopping ahead of time, is available. Just email me for a copy of it! ALSO I would recommend signing up for an account on my website in advance so that you don’t have to worry about that the morning of. The website will probably be crazy busy so plan ahead and be patient. The quicker you can enter your info the better!! If you have any questions about this sale (after reading the attachment!) please don’t hesitate to call me. I’ll be in school on the morning of the 4th so I won’t be available then."</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;"><a href="http://scrapbookcafe08.myctmh.com/">Amy's Website</a></span></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02545422413168544582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646972524100518131.post-42225885809435195012010-08-02T14:19:00.000-07:002010-08-02T14:34:39.766-07:00Retiring Products<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="color:#6600cc;">There are a lot of changes happening at CTMH and I wanted to pass them along to you. First of all, there are a HUGE number of products set to retire at the end of this year. Check out the retiring products list, it is absolutely crazy and is making the consultant boards buzz with gossip! {Email me for a copy of the list!} Unfortunately corporate has not told anyone what is going on. The only paper packs that are not retiring are the new ones coming out in the September catalog. SO if you have something on your wish list and it is on the retirement list, please order it soon!"</span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span></span><div align="center"><a href="http://scrapbookcafe08.myctmh.com/"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;">Amy's Website</span></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;"></span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"></div>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02545422413168544582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646972524100518131.post-11778062037583254032010-07-31T19:03:00.000-07:002010-07-31T19:10:16.798-07:00Christmas in July<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#6600cc;">I cased this card from another stamper's blog {I cannot remember who the gal was but will post her blog when I find it again!!}.
