Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 86

Hello My Crafty Friends! Did you miss me?? Bet you didn't even notice I was missing...  So in early November I realized I needed to take a little break from the craft room and today seemed like a good day to get back at it. And oh! what a great sketch from Atlantic Hearts to help me get back in the groove!

Like everyone I am in the "Christmas is coming too quickly" mode and still need a few cards. Using the the Make It Merry (D1617) stamp set and the wonderful patterned paper from the Snowhaven Paper Packet this card came together quickly. I love the Snowhaven papers they are just so much fun!

To give an extra layer of colour (and a bit of pop) I chose Topiary cardstock and I used Cranberry to paper piece the body of my scooter. A few green sparkles from my stash, some green Glitter Glitz Gel (still sad that this product is retired!) and a piece of cranberry twine tied in a bow and my card is done!

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!

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…
