This is a time for numerous thank-you cards to be given out and I always seem to leave mine to the last minute. This year I thought I would make a stock pile of the same style. It's funny how making an assembly line to make a simple style can end up being quicker than making one intricate card! I came across this inspiration from Vicki Wizniuk and couldn't wait to make my own clean and simple version.

There are lots of exciting sales going on at Close To My Heart and I would like to share them with you! To start, each Friday-Monday we are having flash sales this month. There are lots of different bundles to check out at awesome discounts! Check out Jeanette Lynton's blog, Make It From Your Heart for beautiful inspiration projects each week showcasing many of the items in our flash sales. I was inspired, myself, by one of her posts and set out to make some sympathy cards to have on hand.
I also needed to make a couple of grad cards and chose to do so using our handy Artbooking Cricut cartridge - unfortunately all of our current Cricut cartridges will be retiring when the new catalogue goes live in August!

Here is a card I put together tonight for Father's Day. I used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the colours from the Verve Inspiration Challenge.

At this busy time of the year I'm glad I took some time to get up and make a nice breakfast this morning. I saw this on a menu awhile ago and thought I would love to make it myself!

Here is a card I whipped up today for my brother-in-law's birthday using the Mojo Monday sketch and the inspiration over at Inspired By All The Little Things...those colours just make me instantly think of wine!
