IT'S A {PRETTY} PARTY!

Don't you just {love} papercrafting, scrapbooking and/or cardmaking? Twice a year, to launch each NEW Idea Book, I host IT'S A {PRETTY} PARTY! What is it you ask? Well, it's a crafty open house to showcase all the fabulous new products available!   And, there's usually a {pretty sweet} special! Since the Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book went LIVE, I've been busy prepping for my Open House, which was held this past Sunday.  If you haven't already 'LIKED' my Facebook page ~ CTMH - pretty paperie sweets ~ remember to do so as all Event details are always posted there.  

As a little {thank you} to those that attend, we usually make somethin' {pretty}!  Here's a sweet 3x3 card made with the NEW Babycakes paper pack ... I just {heart} these little cards!

And, with a new month comes a NEW Stamp of the Month ... and it's so cute! It's called A Chocolate Affair and the FAB news is you get it for FREE!  

*No additional tax will be applied for the free stamp set. Shipping/handling is calculated based on the full retail price of the stamp set ($17.95). Offer valid August 1-31, 2013.

So, August is definitely a sweet time to shop—when you place an order of $50 or more during August, you’ll receive the August Stamp of the Month set, A Chocolate Affair (S1308A), FREE!* This D-size stamp set with a retail value of $17.95 includes 16 images and sentiments that will have your friends salivating over your chocolate layouts and cards.
