CTMH Spruced Up - the rest of my cards

Hi folks,

I'm back today to share the rest of the cards I made with the CTMH Spruced Up collection.

Some of these were sent out AFTER Christmas as winter wishes cards, others will be kept for next year's Christmas mail out. Perhaps I will be more timely.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

CTMH Spruced Up Card Making Kit - my take

Hi folks,

Looking back through my posts, I realized I forgot to post the REST of the cards I made with my CTMH Spruced Up papers.

Up today - the cards from the card making kit!

Most times with the kits, I like to switch it up and make the cards not quite identical to the kit suggestions. This time, I kind up stuck with the overall design for each of the cards. Mostly I just changed up the sentiments or used the opposite side of the paper.

There you go!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

January CTMH Cross Canada Blog Hop

Hi folks!

Welcome to our January Cross Canada Blog Hop featuring the Spruced Up collection from Close To My Heart. Whether you are a scrap-booker or card-maker, this collection has something for you.

If you've just hopped onto my blog, then you CAN start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada, then please start at the beginning at Michelle's blog. If you came from Rosalynd's post then you are in the right place!

The first card I made with this collection was actually a Christmas card for my spouse.

It came together very quickly using the wooden embellishments and one of the stickers from the sticker sheet. I stamped my sentiment onto the sticker et Voila!

Among the two dozen cards I have (so far) made with this collection, these are a few more of my favourites.

I love the Thin Cuts die set that coordinate with this collection. Quite a few of the cards I made with this collection feature the birds, the branches, and the pine cones. I used a mix of stamps from the coordinating stamp sets and a few retired sets as well - and quite a few of the stickers from the sticker sheet.

That's it for me! Up next is Brandi.

Remember - if you get lost you can always head back to Michelle's blog as she has the full list of participants.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we are able to inspire you in some way. If so, please leave us a comment as we love to hear back from the hoppers! We hope you are able to join us again next month. So be sure to mark February 10th on your calendar. And don't forget, you can reach out to your local consultant to purchase any of the items you see on the hop today!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
