Hello Lovely

I just love this LOVELY paper!!!  Appropriately titled paper packet.  My favorite colors of pink and green and blue...Makes me happy! :)

See the paper here...

I used the Hello Lovely paper with the Blush Shimmer Ribbon and a couple of retired stamp sets.

Almost forgot the Gold Glitter Gems... too cute.

Here's a closer look...

Have a Lovely Day...:)

 

Welcome Home Wreath

I finally finished my Welcome Home Wreath from Close To My Heart.  I just love how it turned out.  You can get one of these babies for FREE!!!  Just spend $60 on my website here, or you can buy it for 18.95 - no extra purchase required.

Joy Fold with Close To My Heart

I just love the Joy Fold Card style... It's different but EASY!!

The card base is 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and folded at the 3" mark from the left.

The little card in the middle is 7 x 3 folded in half and decorated.

If you need assistance with a tutorial, here's a good one...

I used the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month for Jan. again.  Love this one.

I colored it in with my ShinHan alcohol markers.

 

Back To Business

Christmas is now over and I'm getting back to business.  I'm hoping to post more on here this year.

I just love this new product from Close To My Heart.

The Stamp of the Month is Adore You.  It's only $5.00 with a $50.00 purchase.

Here is some artwork I created with it... too cute.

 

I used the Adventure Fundamentals Paper pack with these cards and the Stamp of the Month.

 

I loved this stamp set too... and it has a Thin Cuts die to go with it!!!

 

I used Adventure Fundamentals paper, Thin Cuts (Sweet Birthday),

Sweet Birthday (B1532) stamp and The Watercolor Paints (Z3132)

and Watercolor Paper.

 

I love not having to fussy cut anything!  Better hurry and get this Thin Cuts die because supplies won't last for this one!
