Hello my crafty friends! Is it seriously Wednesday again already?? And another week has flown by just like that.... sheesh!

Today's post represents the 3rd week of a new venture that two of my CTMH sister consultants & I are doing. We're calling it CTMH Inspirational Wednesday & it is simply us showing you projects we've made with some of the fabulous Close To My Heart products.

This card is a quick little cutie I whipped up using the CTMH card kit "Around The Holidays"....

I just love this kit & will be featuring some other creations from it throughout the month of December, so stay tuned!

Kick Off Your Shoes!

Hello friends! Happy belated Thanksgiving to you all! I hope it was yummy & wonderful! I'm sure you will all agree with me that we are truly so blessed in this beautiful country of ours. I'm so grateful to have so many relatives around & to be able to see the ones who don't live close by, during this festive time of year.

This is a quick post to share some signs I made for our guest house. We recently had one of our guest houses completely remodeled & we had guests in it this week for the first time. So, I made these 2 cute little signs to put up by each of the main entrances. I made them in a winter theme, which will give me an excuse to make new ones each season. Like I need an excuse to craft!.....

SIZE:  6 x 8"
CRICUT:  Expression & Gypsy
CARTRIDGE:  "Songbird"
PAPER:  Core'dinations cardstock, DCWV "The Winter Matstack"
PUNCH:  Martha Stewart "Aspen Snowflake"
INK:  VersaMagic "Platinum Planet"
OTHER:  snowflake embellishments from my stash
