Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #48

So I feel like this post should start out like the beginning of a "Tale of Two Cities"...  'It was the best of times, it was this worst of times.'  This card has driven me nuts today and to be honest I am still not happy with it but I need to stop!  There has been several different variations on this card and this final version is sort of a conglomeration of them all!  Not sure why this card has been giving me fits the past 24 hours but it has.  It is a super cute sketch to work off of from AHSC and super cute paper!  So in this case it is probably just a case of "operator error!"

Anyways,  in the making of this card (and it's variations)  I used the fun Lollydoodle paper Packet, pink glitter paper, aqua dots, my Cricut Artbooking and Art Philosophy  and the "Hi" sentiment is from the M size stamps. I used Slate Ink for stamping and sponge distressing the edges of my paper.

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.

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…
