More Ice Cream on Monday!

Well, I sure didn't get any more scrapbooking finished this weekend, but that is alright.  I have been doing a HUGE decluttering project around the house, and purging REALLY feels good.  I made lots of progress and even found some of my dining room in the process!  ;)   Be sure to check out my clearance price My Acrylix stamps for sale in my Flee Market, and you can help me clear out some more!

Anyhow, there are just two days left in June, and I am just a bit over $100 shy of my sales goal this month.  I have a GREAT incentive for you to help me reach my goal!  My peeps who live nearby can place an order through me with FREE shipping by adding to the order I am placing on Tuesday.  EVERYBODY can win though, because the order that puts me over my goal will win a FREE My Acrylix stamp set that is worth $17.95!  :)

You just might want to pick up this month's Stamp of the Month because there are only two days left to get it in your crafty little hands.  I made the following card using it...

See the fine line details I added by hand with a black marker?

It was tons of fun to make those colorful Popsicles from Ice Cream Dream with the puddle pad method.  The Lagoon ink and CS goes really well with the Thistle Diagonal Striped Ribbon I used to attach the tagged sentiment.  The Hostess Only Tagged with Love My Acrylix which has several different sentiments that accompany the three tag shapes.  I, of course, used the same images as this example artwork from CTMH, lol!  Oooops!

Since that wasn't exactly enlightening, lol, here is a peek at the rest of the set...

Post-It Note Matchbook Treats with Halloween Greetings

Happy Columbus Day Even If THAT Didn't Really Happen The Way We Learned It As Kids!  Really, what is there left to say about it?  Debacle.  Seriously, though, I will take it since it means one less day to pry my kids out of bed for school!  ;)  Now, on to the real reason for October...mammograms and Halloween!  ;)

I will let you ponder that one a bit while you check out my latest creation using my fantastic Close to My Heart My Acrylix stamps...this time, I used the adorable Halloween Greetings.

These Matchbook holders are just perfect for the 3x3 Post-It Notes.  I started with a 3 1/8 x 10 1/8 inch piece of CS.  Next, I scored at 3 5/8 and 4 1/8 from one end and at 1 5/8 from the other end using my Close to My Heart Score Board.

Fold all the score lines in the same direction, and staple in about 3/8 of an inch from bottom score.  I will update this post with the sizes when I get down to my craft cave tomorrow...not much time at the moment, so I just want to get this one posted.

I just love that saying!  "If the broom fits...ride it!"  

I added an 11.5 inch length of the Black Striped Twill Ribbon and/or Thistle Diagonal Striped Ribbon to cover the mini staples I added at the bottom.  I added a bit of detail to this one with my Scallop Border Punch before stapling.  :)

These will be available for purchase at my upcoming craft show!  :)  I will show you more later this week.  Come back soon! 

Be sure to add these both to your order when prompted!  Check it out on my website!
