Doin' it the Wright Way

Good morning! Just wanted to let you know that the Cards for Soldiers event has been postponed. If you were planning on making cards by yourself and donating them, I will still take the donations. I just won't be at B Inspired! today to make some more. Thanks for understanding. I will let you know the new date, when it is scheduled. Happy Saturday!                      ~Jamie

  All of my graduations are over! Woo-hoo! I still have a cousin's graduation party this weekend, but I won't be able to make it, and I'm ready to drop the card/gift in the mail. And I've got one more order for a graduation box, but other than that - no more graduations cards or gifts! Woo-hoo!   The point of that was to say that maybe I'll be able to be a little more reliable about posting on my blog again. My husband even told me last night that I better post more often if I don't want people to quit checking it ... I think he was mocking me, but I'm going to take it as legitimate advice! Thanks Brandon!   I've been thinking about writing this blog for quite a while, but obviously never got around to it. And no, to my family, this isn't about my mother's dog (my brother and his wife got her a dog for Christmas and she named it Cricket, just to clarify).   This machine seems to be getting more and more popular, and there are more and more...

Cards for Soldiers B Inspired! ~ Saturday, May 22 ~ 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.    Please join me in making cards for soldiers in Afghanistan. Cards will be sent in care packages and can be blank for the soldiers to send back or thank you cards directly for the soldiers.    A fellow CTMH consultant's husband was recently sent to Afghanistan - I mail these cards to her, and she includes them in the care packages she sends to her husband and fellow soldiers. But if you know of a local soldier, I'd love to give you some cards to mail to him/her too.   Last time, I mailed almost 200 cards for the soldiers! I'd love to make this a regular event.   For this event, I will supply all the paper for making the cards. Please bring your own cutters, tools and adhesive, if possible. I will also have a Cricut, stamps, inks, texture tools and more CTMH products available for use.   Cards can be made anyway your creative powers take you, but keep in mind tha...

  So, I've never used that phrase before - first time for everything, huh? It's just one of those phrases I didn't think I could pull off ... and not sure if I was successful or not! ;)   Anyway, the point of this post was to thank those who left comments under my Event Calendar post and inform Chrissie that she is the winner of her very own blank Event Calendar!   I didn't have anybody leave a comment under my PC post about trifles, so there is no winner there.   Check out the posts this month for a chance to possibly win a new CTMH product and a PC sprinkle.   Thanks for leaving comments! I love reading them!                             ~Jamie

  I can't believe my little cousin Travie is all grown up! We returned home yesterday from my cousin's graduation in Broken Bow. It was crazy seeing him walk across that stage.   Sorry I haven't posted lately, I'm going to blame that on him! I was working on graduation gifts/cards/orders.   I got my final two boxes done, and 24 more cards made. For this post, I'm just going to show the pictures of the cards.   I made the cards using the You Rock paper pack - I think it just screams graduation! And then I followed the instructions from the Originals and Wishes card confidence books. I also made two cards using the Game On paper pack , that I had left over from making boxes. The stamps I used are You Did It , Follow Your Dreams (retired), For Every Occassion , Dainty Thoughts  and the set from the You Rock WOTG Just Be You. Embellishments include buttons , stickers and Clear Sparkles .   Please let me know if you have any questions.   Happy...

   To each and every mom out there, I hope this day is filled with joy, no work and being surrounded by all those you hold dear!    Happy Mother's Day!    Even though I don't think I got my creative side from my mother, I know there are many traits I did get. And I couldn't be more proud of that. She is the hardest working person I know and she never complains about all that is expected of her.    I hope that my future kids love and admire me as much as I do her. Thanks mom!      I used a new technique on my mother's (and mother-in-law's) card, watercoloring. It was awesome fun!! I will try to get a picture, but wanted to get this post up. (Sorry the picture quality is not better, I've already got it sealed in a clear envelope). I used the Simple Beauty stamp set and the retired Key to My Heart paper pack.    Happy Sunday! watercolor technique: hopefully this card will help you. if not, please e-mail me or po...
