Quad-Easel Cards

Christina, from Card Making Magic, shows how to make these absolutely stunning
quad-easel cards! The possibilities are endless on how to decorate them.... as simple
or elaborate as you like. I love the metallic silver paper she uses on the one in her
tutorial, but be sure to watch until the very end, as she shows a couple other decorated
ones. So very pretty!

Embedded Embossed Image

Beate from Split Coast Stampers shows us this embossing technique. Embedded images

work well with silhouette-type stamps, of which I have a few! (But of course it is not

limited to just those types of stamps.)

Pretty cool! Below is a sample done on patterned paper:

New Look for My Blog!

Since I started my blog, I haven't been quite happy with the way it looked. Some things
were just not quite right! And while I've made some changes along the way, I have been
working on it for quite awhile today, to try to make it "right" in my eyes, and I think
that I'm finally happy with it. (Now remember I said 'I think' - LOL!)..... we'll see!

I have completely changed the heading at the top of my blog to better match my
wallpaper and flowers on the sides. I also changed some gadgets on the sidebar,
and added butterfly dividers there as well!

Please let me know what you think!

Out With the Old - In With the NEW!!

Well, it is August 1st, and the new CTMH Idea Book is available to customers today!

Lots of changes have been made.... some good and others?... well we'll see.

I have been busy making my version of Tracey Mason's fabulous Wedding Cake gift
card box for a friend of mine who's getting married in September! I will post the
final result photos here when I'm finished. I still have to make ALL the flowers! Mine
won't be as lovely as Tracey's was, as it's my first try... or should I say "trial and error"!
But it is made with love and I hope Susi will like it. I must get busy making the
matching card as well!

Be back soon...
