National Stamp Month

National Stamp Month is starting 2 weeks early with CTMH!  When you put in an order for at least $82 you get the Pair-a-Phrase double stamp set for FREE!!  The promotion runs from August 15th - September 30, 2011. 

17 Studio J layouts ordered!!

I LOVE Studio J!!  My youngest is still being weaned, so during that time I have been working on my Studio J layouts.  It's great because I can get quite a bit accomplished in just 10-15 minutes. 

Anyone can try out Studio J here for free.  The best value for your money if you decide you like it is to get a 3 month($33 CAN) or 12 month membership($110 CAN). 
With the membership some of the benefits are:
* save 50% off of purchasing layouts which includes free jpegs and 1 page protector for every layout
* free shipping once a month(7 to 20 layouts to qualify)
* option to just purcahse jpegs(2 sizes included; high resolution and web ready)
* member only patterns and kits

If you're still not ready to make the commitment you can also purchase the 5-pack($60CAD) which includes
* 5 2 page layouts
* 5 page protectors
* printing and shipping

Here are a couple of layouts I ordered.  The layouts are using the new paper packet called Typeset

Back to School Craft

Since the kids are in elementary school I thought I'd create a dislay board for each of them so they can showcase their art work or important notes.  I got the idea from here

Supplies I used were
cork board - purchased from Staples, comes in a pkg of 4
ribbon
scrap paper
double sided tape
scallop punch
circle punch
glue gun
scissors
CTMH Exclusive Inks(Cornflower Blue, Hollyhock, Desert Sand, Baby Pink, Heavnely Blue and Garden Green)
CTMH Acrylix Stamps Sets (Bohemian Aphabet and Pennant Alphabet)
CTMH My Acrylix Blocks 1x1 and 2x2

Now I just have to figure out where they are going to hang.
