Amie's Amazing April Giveaway!!!

Giveaway alert!!!


I am having an awesome April, and I want you to as well!  I have set up an online gathering called Amie's Amazing April Giveaway to help me meet my goal this month.  Anyone who places an order through that link (or through me personally) will be entered into a drawing to win the AMAZING (are you sensing a theme?) My Acrylix Honeycomb set with a retail value of $13.95!!! 

This is the same fabulous set that I used for my Workshops this month.  All you have to do to be entered is place an order either through me or the link on MY WEBSITE.  It looks like this:

If the box says LEAVE, like it does here, then you have already joined the party and you can place your order.  If it says JOIN, you just need to click on it before you place your order to be included in the giveaway!  :)

You can place ANY SIZE order to qualify.  Here is how it will work.  You will get your name entered once for every $25 you spend with your name going in the first time for any order up to $25.  If you order $17.95 worth of product you get one entry.  If you order $76.95 worth of product you would have your name entered three times!  If you have already placed an order this month, you will automatically be entered, so no worries!  :)

I will choose the winner on May 1st and announce it right here!  

GOOD LUCK!!!

Scraptacular Memories Workshop Wrap-Up!

I had a fantastic time with the ladies at my Scraptacular Memories Workshop last night!  Here is a wrap-up of the two layouts we completed.  The first one features the Chantilly Paper Packet, Bugs & Hugs and Sightseer My Acrylix Stamp Sets, and Chantilly Scrapbook Workshop on the Go My Acrylix Stamp Set.

 

This one features the For Always Paper Packet, Honeycomb and Distressed Backgrounds My Acrylix Stamp Sets.

You can find the inspiration for this layout HERE on my fabulous upline, Mandy Leahy's blog!  :)

Color Dare #31

It's that time of the week!  Ready for another Color Dare Challenge?  This week the colors are analogous, or next to each other on the color wheel.  The Close to My Heart colors are Buttercup, Honey, and Sunset.  It is also PRIZE WEEK at Color My Heart!  The winner of this week's challenge will receive a brand new My Acrylix Happy Valentine's Stamp set!  Feel free to use products that match these closely if you don't have the any Close to My Heart products, or you can always get some on one of our websites.

I chose to highlight a brand new stamp set, called Honeycomb.  I have been wanting to play around with this one for a while, and I finally had the chance.  I chose to add Colonial White, Cocoa, and Champagne as my neutrals this week.  :)

I wanted to try to keep it CAS (clean and simple) on this card in order to highlight the gorgeous patterns in the hexagon stamps.  Take a look at all of the different patterns in this set...

I used a Kraft card base for this card, and inked all the hexagon edges with Cocoa Exclusive Ink.  I think it looks like grout between tiles, lol!  Now I want hexagon shaped tiles in my kitchen backsplash!  Wouldn't that be FANTASTIC!?  :)

Just for fun, can you see my patten oops in the card?  I didn't notice until I was editing my pics, lol.

I love the sentiment that is included in this set.  It actually spurred me to snatch up a set with little bees on it so I can combine the two sometime.  Not for this one, though.

This gold colored glitter paper is a brand new product this Spring for Close to My Heart!  This color is found in the Brown and Tan Glitter Paper Packet.  I really do like this light color in the pack, and it went really well with my colors, so why not add some bling?   In fact, I liked it so much that I added a strip on the inside of the card as well.  :)

Now, you know the drill!  It is YOUR turn to share your creations using Buttercup, Honey, and Sunset with us over at the Color My Heart Challenge Blog Color Dare!  Have fun, link up to our challenge,  and show us your sparkle!  :)
