Foxes are all the rage, and I was able to jazz it up a bit with a top hat and sparkly bow tie. Now, I have a foxy card for my foxy man. Keep creating! </p>

There are so many things you can do with the Cloud Nine Cardmaking Kit. Here I used the cloud stamp, masked the "just because" and used it with Close to my Heart's FREE printable campaign: Rediscover CTMH.<br />

She had a jungle theme and I love how the babycakes worked perfectly. I am also in live with the CTMH framework alphabet. It works for any size area, just overlap or stretch out. Thanks also to our Artbooking cartridge, which made creating 30 of these cards less daunting. </p>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I love the Workshops on the Go Frosted Cardmaking Kit; from the stamp set to the addition of the tinsel baker's twine. It's a beautiful kit and a steal at $24.95 for 15 cards/envelopes and a D-size stamp set. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By using Slate Grey and Blush in place of Olive and Ruby I was able to create these feminine and pretty versions</span>.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, I followed the example of fellow consultant, Vicki Wizniuk, and changed it up again with Lagoon, Slate Grey, and Whisper. Love how they create a feeling of winter snow.</span></div>

I LOVE November. I've personally made it a month to catch up on all the thank you notes I always planned on sending...or creating...or found in the car months later waiting on an updated address or stamp. And don't get me started on where I stashed the stamps (I now have them in my craft room, kitchen, and car). Since I affixed November with this "Thanksgiving Thank you note Catch Up" title, I now feel I have the power to absolve YOU of your guilt too. So, go create a card of thanksgiving and mail that baby out. Don't try to do twenty, I'm just asking for one, cause we all know what happens when we try to cram create: Chaos:)<br />
<br />
And when your done, come back here and leave a comment with whom you send it to and why. You'll be entered to win fun FREE stuff. If you add a link to your card, I'll throw your name in a second time. <br />
<br />
Love November a little more now? Good:)<br />
<br />
Card Inspired by Brenda Rose<br />
Supplies Used:<br />
September SOTM: Poster Tidings S1309<br />
Cricut Cartridge<br />
Twine<br />

Take a moment and give thanks today. Give thanks for a neighbor that's there when you need a cup of sugar. Give thanks to a parent that listens when you need to talk. Give thanks to a friend for all the little things they do. Give thanks to your children for those times YOU need more patience. Give thanks today. And then go and give thanks again tomorrow:)</div>

My daughter's first birthday is coming up this month and I'd thought I'd share a little something of what I'm working on. Daddy wants a Safari themed birthday, and so I pulled out some old Cricut Cartridges and papers I had. After looking over things on Pinterest, this is what I came up with. All stamps are Close to my Heart. Enjoy.<br />

In Creation Club, back in September, I wanted to create a wreath that was school themed, and could be updated year after year. After looking over Pinterest, I came up with this version of the Ruler Wreath. Why do I love it? Because it combines both versions I found on Pinterest (Ruler Wreath + Crayon Wreath), and the clipboard creates an option to update my son's photo every year. And that black school bus? Why yes, that is chalkboard paint, so I can change the grade or year to match his picture. </div>

I LOVE the April stamp of the month, My Sunshine. It coordinates with the Cricut Artiste and I have so many ideas going through my head on how I want to use it. Sun bursts and balloons are used a lot right now, probably because everyone wants a little summer during this cool spring. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you'd like a little sunshine yourself, grab it up during the month of April for $5 with a $50 order. Check it out on <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://memorieswithmaatman.ctmh.com/CTMH/Content.aspx?id=%2fen%2fsitecore%2fcontent%2fOBA%2fPromotions%2fStamp_of_the_Month.aspx" target="_blank">my website</a></span> and see more inspiration from the gals over at CTMH.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was asked by a local scrapbooking store, Saranac Paper Garden, to teach a scrapbooking class. Since I love creating scrapbook pages, and I love teaching too, I jumped at the chance and whipped these pages up! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These papers are from the retired line, Sonoma, by Close to my Heart. The charms and My Stickease are coordinating accessories that were also available with the kit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's sure to be a fun time learning new techniques, getting some pages done, and meeting others whom love to papercraft as much as I do!</span></div>

If you notice, I've been missing from my blog lately, and there is a pretty wonderful reason why, if I do say so myself. We welcomed our new little one into the world on November 19th, and I went into Mommy hibernation for the next few weeks. To everyone's delight it was a girl and we named her Aurora Jane. <div>
(I'm so excited to be able to use pinks and all things girly in my papercrafting!) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With all the time I've spent nursing I have become the first person in the world to have seen everything on Pinterest...except all the stuff I missed while blogging this (never can hold first place for long, I guess). Anyways, I have tons of great ideas whirling away and new things to post over the next few days. Not to mention TONS of new product speeding towards me in a little brown truck at this very moment! Yup, new Catalog release February 1st. It's A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But not as amazing as my daughter, whom happening to be beckoning at this moment...</div>
<div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
With the coming of November I find myself thinking of all the Blessings in my life and how grateful I am for each and every one. To show that gratitude to you, my customers and friends,<strong> I am throwing a Grateful Gathering and giving away ALL the Hostess Rewards!</strong></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
How it works:</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
During the month of November, for <em>EACH</em> order you place (whether by shopping my website online, email, mail, or over the phone) your name gets placed in a drawing for the Hostess Rewards and/or the Hostess Rewards Plus! options. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<strong>So, as the order total for November increases so does the giveaway!</strong></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">
One lucky person will win the obtained level of Select Product Credit reached during the <em>entire</em> month of November AND for each Hostess Rewards Plus! option earned there will be additional winners.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
This means that <strong>Five</strong> lucky winners could be drawn!</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">

I love fall for all it's beautiful colors and changes in weather (yes, even the rain). It's a time to think about the coming winter, the closing of a year, and the true meaning of the Christmas season. It is also a great time to reflect on those in are lives who've made it a little more wonderful, and give thanks. It doesn't have to be much; a phone call, a compliment, or a card. I encourage you to do a little something today to make someone's life a little brighter. Be the change in their rainy season.</div>
