Mojo Monday #235

Hey look what I did!  I completed a Mojo Monday challenge on a Monday!  I look forward to my weekly email from Mojo Monday showing the latest sketch for a card.  My goal is always to create the card and some weeks I have been successful and others not so much...
I have spent a lot of time recently organizing my scrap area and decide that I really needed to start using up some of my "stash"!  So this weeks card is using paper from the Close To My Heart "Best Friends" packet from a few years ago.  So Spring, so pretty!  I also got to use my Cricut to make the cute flower, I heavy sanded the flower and pink cardstock to show the white core and create some dimension.  A little squeeze of  Glitter Glitz Glitter Gel to create the center of the flower, a few pieces of honeydew twine from The Twinery to create the leaves and viola! done.

Lest we forget

This time of year is super busy for me helping my crafty friends prepare for Christmas but I wanted to take the time to properly give my respects to Remembrance Day.  Like many Canadians, my grandfathers and great-grandfather's fought in the World Wars.  Their sacrifices and the sacrifices that those "left behind at home" made helped ensure the Canadian peace and lifestyle we can so easily take for granted on a regular day.  So at this time of year, we remember and we say Thank You.

Happy December!

Whew!  November was a blur of Christmas Card Workshops, Home Parties, and a Card Buffet! I'm a little tired but do have plans for a few card buffets and other crafty fun this month.  A couple of cards that I created for the recent card buffet turned out super cute and use a mix of old and new product!  Love when I can do that.

This "stag" card features the awesome green buffalo plaid paper from the current Beary Christmas Paper Packet and the stag is from Cricut Artistry but the rest is retired CTMH products from my stash!  The stamp is from last year and is called D1694 Very Merry Holiday if you are able to find one for sale online grab it!  You will not be disappointed the whole stamp set is awesome and I will be using mine for years to come.  As mentioned the stag is from Cricut Artistry and I cut it out in white daisy cardstock and chocolate cardstock (retired) and the leaves are from Cricut Flower Market in Fern. 
The design for this card comes from the Close to My …

Christmas in July!

Image
For this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge I decided to do some "Christmas in July"! This card is a mix of current, retired, and soon to be retired products from Close To My Heart.
Current products are the beautiful Fresh Air patterned papers, the Pewter cardstock, and Silver Sequins.  The retired products are the Wood Grain embossing folder used on the Pewter Cardstock (along with a little light sanding) and the Poppy Twine (which can still be found in the Clearance section of my shopping website!).

The soon to be retired... the Poppy and Juniper cardstock that I used to cut out my sentiment and the accent branch.  I bet you are saying WHAT! Poppy and Juniper are retiring!!!  I know, they have long been favorites of mine too but don't panic, I am sure the colours that are replacing them are going to be gorgeous.  The Cricut cuts are; Merry Christmas  - Artiste (retired) and for the Pine Needle Branch - Flower Market.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciat…
