Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #52!!!

We did it! Happy 1st Anniversary to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and to celebrate this week they are having a give away.  And I quote "Everyone who submits an entry into this weeks sketch challenge will be entered into our draw for a chance to win a prize pack valued at $50, and you have a say!  Vote for your favourite entry! Just like our design team, you have 3 votes, so use them wisely."  As always Michelle and Darla of AHSC have given us a super cute sketch that gives you lots of room to be creative.  

May is National Scrapbooking Month and Close To My Heart loves to celebrate this event by creating a special paper packet, this year the paper packet is called "Free To Be Me" and you will soon be getting some sneak peeks. But for this weeks card I decided to create using last years special paper packet called Dream Pop.  Such fun paper, So bright! So cheery!
This card came together quickly and the background pattern paper is called "glossy resist" which for those of us who do not own an embossing machine it is a nice alternative (and it's shiny!)  This pretty colour came in the Dream Pop paper packet and currently CTMH has a "Basics Assortment", I am hoping that we get tons of pretty colours with the new idea book in August...

For my flower I fussy cut it out of one of the patterned papers. I then took my exacto knife and carefully cut out the petals, gently bending them up to give my flower some pop!  I gave it even more pop by using foam dots to attach it to my card.  I used the zip strips from two of the pattern papers for the circles and sentiment and gave this card a little bling using Silver Shimmer Trim (such a quick and easy product!) and a few bitty sparkles.

Done. No stamping, No inking, CRAZY!

Happy Anniversary AHSC and Happy Crafting!

This card and I are not the best of friends!  The vision in my head for this weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts just did not work and then this didn't work, and that didn't work.  Some days!  But I have made myself be okay with this card and I think it kinda follows the sketch.
For this card, I used papers from both the Silver & Gold (background) and Beary Christmas (tree) paper packets.  Ruby Cardstock was used for my frame and deer which are both Cricut cuts and the star, banner and tree are all thin cuts from the Beary Christmas Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts set.  I stamped the sentiment in Ruby Ink.  The star is cut out on Gold Glitter Paper and the gold background stripe and the tree trunk is shimmer trim.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  I hope I have inspired you to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

Happy Crafting!

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 …

Hello, my friends! My apologies for being a little MIA the past several weeks but when you have too much going on something always falls through the cracks!  BUT school is back in which means way more crafting time for me!

This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts is up and I decided to play with a little more of the Jack Paper Collection, it recently retired and that is a real shame because I love these papers!  I am working on my annual Christmas Card workshops and decided to have a little fun with the bearded man papers... I give you "Warm Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses".
Sometimes going a little outside the box can be so much fun and I really hope my workshop attendees love this card as much as I do. To create the card I used Slate Cardstock for my base and added the " Bearded Men in Hats".  To add a bit more whimsy the mustache border is from Cricut Artistry and the branches for my mistletoe is from Cricut Flower Market cut out in New England Ivy and Fern cardstocks…
