Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #215



A classic sketch from AHSC this week and I felt it went perfectly with CTMH's No Worries paper packet.  At my son's request, I had a very special card to make and this sketch helped me fill the order.

The principal at his school is retiring at the end of the school year and the teachers and children are starting to say their goodbyes. This is a very loved and respected man and he will be greatly missed.

My son is having a hard time with the thought that Mr. Selva will not be at the school next year. Change can be so hard for children and so we have been having lots of talks about it being okay to feel sad and yes, it is totally normal to be worried about missing him.  Thankfully the new principal is the current vice-principal and he too is wonderful, so hopefully, a familiar face in the office next school year will help the kids like my son cope.

As mentioned, I used the No Worries paper collection for this card and paired it with Lagoon and Cashmere cardstock.  For the stamping and accent shapes, I used the No Worries Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts and Sapphire, Lagoon, and Tangerine inks for my stamping. For embellishment, I used a few of the No Worries sequins and I did use the Edge Distresser on my pennant to give it that much-loved roughed up look.

I typically do not do the inside of my cards until I need them so I do not get to share them very often but I can for this card and I continued the stamping inside.

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.

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.

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…
