CTMH Perpetual Calendar: June

Yep, I totally forgot what month I was on!  Sorry about that, I am horribly side-tracked these days.  It was a good thing this month came together so easily with a Picture My Life pocket scrapbooking card and a couple of retired puffy stickers.  No sidetracking here!  ;)

CTMH Perpetual Calendar: May

Time to leap ahead again in my Close to My Heart perpetual calendar...this time to May flowers!

I made this calendar for my sister, and thought this PML card was just perfect to add for May when all things are growing...

I believe this one if from the retired Avonlea Picture My Life Cards...

Those branch-like shapes are from the Cricut Artistry Cartridge--leftover cuts from a tag set I created for a workshop back in November!  The puffy heart takes me waaaaaaaay back to a grade school sticker collection.  You can find it in the Chalk It Up Assortment available on clearance now over on my CTMH website!

Close to My Heart Perpetual Calendar: April

Mooooooooving right along with my perpetual calendar we come to April...

I reached into my leftover Cricut cut drawer and pulled out spring!  I had a hot air balloon already stamped and some great clouds and grass all ready to go--and all found on the fabulous Cricut Artiste Cartridge.  It doesn't get any easier than that!  I was missing the balloon basket, however, which actually turned out to be a simple and more creative fix.  :)

Stay tuned for the rest of my calendar coming soon!  Have a wonderful week!

Only in March!

CTMH Perpetual Calendar: March

I promise not to string these calendar pages out much longer, lol, but since it is March now, here you go!

I kept it clean and simple for this one--and wanted to incorporate a St. Patty's Day theme.  This golden "choose happy" is actually a Beautiful You Picture My Life card trimmed down to fit my calendar square!  I double matted the inspirational message with Sweet Leaf and Topiary CS. Golden Sequins add a bit more sparkle to the pot!  ;)

How ironic that I didn't use a single STAMP on this creation!  Close to My Heart has so many wonderful papercrafting  products besides stamps!

BUT!!!  If stamps are your thing--THIS is the month to get them!  Stampaganza is back with an amazing buy 2 get 1 FREE (no limit!) sale!!!

There are a TON of details I listed HERE for the sale--including the new Close to My Heart Stamp Retirement policy information, so check it out before you make your list!

CTMH Perpetual Calendar: February (of course!)

Ready for another peek at my perpetual calendar?

That little glittery heart adds the perfect touch!

I found this latte/travel coffee cup on the CTMH Cricut Artistry Cartridge, and have LOVED it ever since!  This pretty pattern paper is from the Zoe Paper Packet.  The Glacier color combined with Thistle just screams "WINTER" to me, so it fit the month perfectly.  Another thing that gives me a little bit of a winter feel is this amazing thick twine...

I love all the colors this twine is available in now!

Continuing the wintery theme...check out these great little creations brought to you by the creative genius of the CTMH designers!  They used the Treats of Friendship My Acrylix stamp set along with Kraft CS and some clearanced Lagoon Hearts washi!

CTMH Perpetual Calendar: January!

Since it is January already, I think it is high time I share the month of January in my Close to My Heart perpetual calendar.

This was THE PERFECT sentiment to light up my January!  You can find it on the Diamonds Are Forever My Acrylix stamp set over on my Close to My Heart Website.  I just adore pairing it up with a touch (or more) of SPARKLE!  On this particular day, I chose to use my Gold Glitter Paper, Gold Sequins and Bling Gems.

I used the Stamp of the Month, Cheers! 2016, from November to ink those cute little triangle banners in Peacock Exclusive Ink.  You never know when you will use an "old" stamp set!  ;)

Here is the current set only available in January...
