Today I'm sharing this simple standard-size card I created
featuring the Rustic Home and Jeepers Creepers papers.
You can see the Rustic Home paper collection on page 28 of
the Annual Inspirations Idea Book and Jeepers Creepers can be found 
in our NEW Holiday Expressions Idea Book shown on pages 6-7
...click HERE to see them in the new Idea Books online now!

Here's my trick for making the bow: First, cut 7" of twine ribbon from the spool (Rustic Home Ribbon Pack). Then cut the ribbon in half down the center, so there are just three strands on each side. This will allow you to create TWO bows from one piece of ribbon and stretch your ribbon even farther. Tie the pieces into bows and attach with a mini glue dot.

This month I'm sharing the gift tags I made using

this stamp set that I attached on the gifts I gave to

my team members and room mates at the annual

Close to my Heart Convention in Anaheim (Disneyland!)

that we just returned home from!

Seven of my fabulous team members,

the "Friends Forever Stampers"

were able to attend with me and we had so much fun!!!

Needless to say, we are all looking forward to

attending again next year, especially since

it will be so close to home (Disneyland again!!)
and it'll stay affordable for those
of us who are locals to go again!

Please come back to visit my blog every week this month as I will continue to share more photos of all of our Convention fun and artistic adventures!

For now, I hope you will enjoy my creations:

I created 7 for my team members, 1 for a sideline (sister consultant) and 2 for my uplines:
