Holiday Fun!

Happy Sunday!

I hope y'all have been enjoying a holiday filled weekend.  Our weekend has been filled with dance recitals, band concert sand today we are off to watch Tucker march in a Christmas Parade.
I thought it would be fun to share a couple videos of Payton's school dance recital.  If you aren't in the holiday spirit yet, perhaps these quick little videos will do the trick!

ON the Tenth Day of Christmas...

On The Tenth Day of Christmas, Amy Offered to Me The NON STICK MICRO-TIP SCISSORS for $13.00 (normally $13.95)!

These are my most favorite scissors!  I actually own several pairs- one for cutting sticky things, one for cutting paper and one for cutting ribbon.  I tie ribbon on each pair so I know which pair is for what.  

These scissors are coated and have a non-stick surface to cut through adhesive without sticking.  They are small and super sharp for  detailed cutting.  They come with a nice guard to slip on the point of the scissors to keep them protected AND to keep you from getting cut!


***So as an added BONUS, if you order a pair of Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors, I will add a roll of the NEW Thin 3-D Foam Tape for half price ($2.95 instead of $5.95).  This double-sided foam tape is 1 mm tall.  2 rolls come in a package.  it is 3/4" and 1/4" widths.  There are 75" per roll.  Like the 3-D foam tape CTMH has carried for years, the thin 3-D foam tape is my go-to adhesive when I want to add dimension to my projects.  You can never have too many rolls of this stuff!  And the non-stick micro- tip scissors cut this tape wonderfully!  You can not have one without the other!

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, Amy offered to me two ShinHan Touch Twin Markers for just $10 ($5.00 per marker-normally $5.95 per marker)!
Each marker is alcohol-based and includes one broad and one fine tip.

I LOVE these markers!  Why do you need these markers?  Because they make it so easy to shade and color in stamped images making them look like a professional did the coloring.  I have never been successful at shading when I color my stamped images.  Well guess what...I am successful at it now!  I used the Clay, Mahogany, Vivid Green, Sap Green, Leaf Green and Carmine markers, as well as the Colorless Blender Marker , to color in the cupcake images (which are from the December Stamp of the Month set- you GOTTA have this set- it is sooo fun!!!!) in the cards below (thank you Karen Pederson for the inspiration of these cards.  She is the original designer-I just changed the colors to make them Christmas Cupcakes!).  I do recommend the Colorless Blender for your ShinHan Touch Twin marker collection.  The colorless marker will allow you to be successful in all your color shading endeavors!

***So as an added bonus, if you order TWO MARKERS, I will purchase a THIRD MARKER for you FREE of CHARGE!  You choose the colors you want!
The markers are found on page 180 of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  There are 24 colors AND the colorless Marker to choose from! If you don't have a copy of the idea book you can visit my website (amy.ctmh.com) and view the entire Idea Book online!
