If you happen to search for Creative Mayhem in Google, you may have come across this account. You also may have been very confused because I do not have 3 boys nor do I make and sell things.
If you look closely, they even posted THIS BLOG as their website address.
IT'S A SCAM!
I have asked Facebook to remove this account and the reference to my "older" blog as this is NOT me.
So please be Creative Mayhemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05714115240169885717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23439461.post-61511994659378421562012-12-11T05:05:00.000-05:002012-12-11T06:48:58.845-05:00The Rubber Café Blog Hop Today is the day to celebrate brand new releases by The Rubber Café!

As I was sitting down to plan my Christmas cards this year, I really wanted to do something “Outside the Box” so I challenged myself to make this year's holiday cards without any of the traditional materials . . or at last as few of them as possible.   By using items that I wouldn't normally use for Christmas, it allowed me to be more creative.

This year is no exception. My favorite color is pink so I’m really happy to be using it more and more these next few weeks.

With the new year, I’ve made it my goal to create a stash of cards before I need them so I’m prepared when the time comes. I was thinking it would be great to have a set of all purpose cards that I could make for different occasions. Well here is what I came up with:
I used some Kaiser Kraft paper over kraft cardstock to form my base for the card. Then I used the J-1074 Frame Heart Stamp in Creative Mayhemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05714115240169885717noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23439461.post-81859861007740305682012-01-05T06:00:00.000-05:002012-01-05T14:41:23.307-05:002012 The Rubber Cafe Design Team Call!!!Hey everybody!  I just wanted to post this call that a great company is having.

There are so many possibilities with this one that it was hard to narrow down what I wanted to do. Then I saw this Card Pouch tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers and I completely had to stop what I was working on and do it instead!
