Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #80!

Keep my child home today because he had a mild fever and a cough.  About half way thru the day I wondered what I was thinking!  He drove me nuts all day.  I am a firm believer that if your kid had a fever keep them home but he really wasn't that sick.  The fever seems to have broken and hopefully I get back to my regularly scheduled programing tomorrow!

Super cute sketch from Atlantic Hearts this week and I wanted to create using November's Stamp of the Month "It's the Little Things".  Building flowers is just so much fun and strangely therapeutic.  My goal with this card was also to play with some of the new ink colours because they are just so pretty.  
 
So I may have gotten a little over zealous with my layered flowers compared to the sketch but I like it!  The colours I used for the flowers were Thistle, Pixie, Gypsy and Canary. And I used Pear for the leaves.  The very cute polka dot patterned paper is from the Confetti Wishes Paper Packet and so is the Happy Birthday which I fussy cut out.  I finished my card off by swiping the edges with Pacifica ink and added some bitty sparkles and Flamingo Dots. 

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  Follow the link to check out all the great artwork submitted to the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I hope you get inspired and decide to come play along.  We would love to see what you create and you might get voted as one of the top 3 cards of the week.

Happy Crafting!

    What a gorgeous, bright card! I have had sick kids too, who were still full of energy in between vomiting episodes!

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!

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…
