July's Special ~ Work The Workshop ~ Great Holiday Gift ~ Get Ready Now

I thought today I'd share July's special "Work The Workshop". The kit comes with a 12x12 canvas and 2 different color schemes. It also comes with a cute "C" size stamp set...that is only available with this kit. The special deal is: you can buy the kit...during the month of July for 50% off (G1062). I'm thinking it's a pretty sweet deal! And, these would make great gifts too...if you buy them now it will give you plenty of time to make the gifts for the holidays. You can be all ready...and not have to stress going shopping during the holidays. Sounds like a win-win to me!  

 

 

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Our Sprinkler

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".

Our Sprinkler

In the heat of the Summer we sometimes forget
 How fun it is to get all wet
We giggle and laugh as everyone knows
As we run and we jump and get grass in our toes
Our sprinkler gives us hours of fun
It keeps us cool from the hot Summer sun

I thought I would share this poem today because with summer here I love to take pictures of my kids under the sprinklers...and I know over the years I've taken a bunch. This poem would look cute on a layout! Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps. I found this poem at scrapbook.com)

Need Card Ideas?

I thought today I'd share two cards I made this past week for my hubby. One is for his birthday and the other is for Father's Day. For the Father's Day card I used a piece of paper from the "Tommy" paper pack (X7169B). I used a retired stamp set for the saying...and I added two square studs (Z1705). I love these...so easy to use and gives the card exactly what it needed to finish it off.
The other card was for his birthday. For this card I used the paper pack "Surf's Up" (X7168B)...I added a few blue bubbles (Z1806) on the card and used another retired stamp set. They are all simple cards...but that's how I like my cards.

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Graduation Congratulations

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".

Graduation Congratulations   

To live a successful life
Does not require
Money, fame, power, prestige
Or status symbols...

 It's more a matter of
Being true to your own beliefs and principles,
Doing your best,
Even in the smallest of things,
And never taking for granted
The simple joys in life--
Such as laughter, a perfect day,
Or a loyal friend.

For all the money in the world
Can't buy self-esteem, character,
Contentment, love or happiness--
And these are the very things
That make life
Worth living.

However you define
Happiness and success,
May you find and enjoy them
Every day of your life.

Congratulations as you graduate.

I thought I would share this poem today because my daughter had her 6th grade graduation today...which means at some point I'll have a layout to make. I thought this poem would look great on a scrapbook layout. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps. I found this poem at scrapbook.com)

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Sacrifice

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".
                                                
                                                 Sacrifice       

I admire the determination and
The dedication that you have shown
For your family and your country
I know that your wonderful example
Has touched the lives of many people
The example you have set has touched the lives
Of all your fellow soldiers, their families
And the lives of all your family
I know that we all appreciate the wonderful job
That you have done to protect us
And all in our great country to help keep us free
So that we all can enjoy all the freedoms
That this land has to offer us
I just want to say thank you for all your sacrifice

Check Out ALL Of The June Specials!!! CTMH Leaves Me Speechless!!

June is a pretty amazing month with Close To My Heart! I already shared the "Relief For Oklahoma" "A True Thank You" stamp special (now until June 30th 100% of the profit will go to the American Red Cross for Oklahoma victims).

They also added "Let’s Get Patriotic!" now until July 31st there are 3 stamp sets you can purchase (Close To My Heart will donate $3 from each "B" size Courage stamp set and $5 from each "D" size  Home of the Brave stamp set to the USO).

And, they also added "It’s a Banner Day!" When you place a $25 order that includes a stamp set, you’ll receive a My Creations^® mini banner for free! The mini banner includes 10 chipboard pennants in 4 different shapes with 9 jump rings for hanging. (They also don't limit how many you can earn...so if you spend $50 and include 2 stamp sets...you'll get 2 banners.)

There is also the Stamp Of The Month...but I'll share that with you on Wednesday's post. Just don't forget about that deal too if you are planning on ordering before Wednesday! All I can say is "WOW!!!" CTMH leaves me speechless...which if you know me...isn't easy to do!!
