Hi everyone sorry I haven't been around much lately I have been very busy getting ready for upcoming craft sales. Below is one craft sale that I unfortunately could not participate in but I will however be in the November sale. Please support those small businesses that are participating!

 So if you haven't been to my new site CLM CRAFTS over on facebook, head on over. I added more items in the albums (Christmas Cards, Birthday and Sympathy cards). It is a slow progress but I am slowly getting there. 

So head on over. I hope to see you there!

 Hey Everyone!

Well I finally took the plunge and made a CLMCRAFTS page over on facebook. People can not only converse with me about my creations but can share their creations (upon my approval of course) with me, BUT can also shop. Although the site is still under construction, many people have wandered through and have posed questions. I am extremely excited to be able to share a variety of both my past and newest card creations.

Here is a sneek peek of only 2 of the available cards:

So head over to my site on facebook CLM CRAFTS and tell me what you think!

If you could like and share my page with your friends to support my small business, it would mean the world to me. Thank you!!

        As these events have already happened I feel it is safe to post these cards. Close to the beginning of the month I made some great birthday cards for some of my family. For my sister Carol, I made a block tower card where I placed various pictures of her family and stamped a sentiment using Stampin' Up's approaching perfection stamp set and gorgeous grape ink.

For my other sister Marlene, I made a spinning tower card. I bordered punched butterflies along each side of the tower and then glued punched butterflies in various colours over top of them. I also stamped a sentiment using the approaching perfection stamp set in memento black ink, and cut out the word HAPPY in different coloured card stock using the playful alphabet dies.

Lastly for my brother-in-law David, I also used Stampin' Up's approaching perfection stamp set but stamped the sentiment in night of navy ink.

Such fun!

Hello everyone a quick update on how things are going. Family health issues are at a stand still right now so I am able to reconnect with my crafting family. I want to say thank you for all your prayers and good wishes that have been coming, they have indeed helped. Just to let you know that a couple of small changes have and will be made to the group's facebook page and blog. First off the name for both the facebook page and blog has now been changed to CLMCrafts and CLMCrafts.blogspot.com and soon the page and profile images. The email address for the page however has not been changed.  

Stayed tuned to see the birthday cards I made earlier this month!

 Hello everyone so sorry for such a long absence from the last post. Unfortunately health issues of a family member has and will continue to require long absences between posts. I will however attempt to post as frequently as I can. 

So this past May I participated in a Christmas Stampathon challenge where I was to make 4 Christmas Z-Fold cards. I made each of my z-fold cards different. I used the Snow Wonder, Freezin' Fun, and the Quite Curvy stamps sets from Stampin' Up. I also used Stampin' Up's Tis the Season, Snowflake Splendor, and Brightly Gleaming designer series paper. 

This month's Christmas Stampathon's challenge was to make 4 KISS (Keep It Simple) projects. There is to be no frills just stamps, inks, and cardstock. So I made 2 cards using the Let it Snow stamps set and 2 cards using the snowflake wishes stamp set all on white and blueberry bushel cardstock. I used just jade, night of navy, memento black, gorgeous grape, cherry cobbler, shaded spruce, and pixie pink inks.

Until next time!

 Hello good morning and Happy Monday April 26th. Just popping on to share my 4 cards that I made during the Ladies Retreat on Saturday April 24th. I participated in a crafting day through Stampin4fun. Had so much fun crafting with Genevieve Ko and the other ladies. Such a good stress free day of crafting. I managed to make these 4 beauties.
