Happy Easter

Hi folks,

Just thought I would pop in and share the Easter card I made for dearly beloved this year.



The papers are the retired "Blossom" collection from Close To My Heart - this collection just says spring to me so I pulled some out for this card.

The stamps are "Pretty Easter Find" by Unity Stamp Co (I got them in a grab bag a few years back) with the image coloured with my CTMH Shinhan Markers. The fine points made it really easy to colour the fine details on the image.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

March Cross Canada Blog Hop with CTMH

Hi folks!

Welcome to our March Cross Canada Blog Hop featuring the So Much Happy collection from Close To My Heart. Whether you are a scrap-booker or card-maker, both of these collections have 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 Dominique's blog then you are in the right place!

Today I'm sharing with you a few cards I made with the paper pack - which I totally wanted to call "Sew Much Happy". Get it?




Yes - I'm a quilter. So of course I had to have the Quilt Quotes stamp set, the Stitched Quilt Shapes Thin Cuts, AND the Stitched Square Frames Thin Cuts the second I saw them. Click "add to order"!!!

You can bet that these cards are going to wind up in the hands of my quilting buddies. I may even make them little gift sets they can hand out to other friends.

That's it for me! Up next is Diana!

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

February Cross Canada Blog Hop with CTMH

Hi folks!

Welcome to our February Cross Canada Blog Hop featuring the I Heart Us collection from Close To My Heart. Whether you are a scrap-booker or card-maker, both of these collections have 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 Nicky's blog then you are in the right place!

If you are a frequent visitor then you know I tend to favour card-making so I have these cards to share with you today.




The inspiration for these cards actually came from a scrapbook layout in the new Seasonal Expressions Idea book. Go ahead, take a flip through and see if you can find which one! Psst - take a look at the WYW I Heart Us layouts.

I also used the Butterfly Friendship stamp and thin cuts bundle on this pair of cards.

Now - do you remember earlier when I said I tend to favour card-making? Well, I took the big step and signed up for the Craft With Heart12-month subscription back when it launched. My goal was to hopefully wind up with some layouts I could use in a scrapbook album for my parents upcoming milestone wedding anniversary. So here's the TWO double-page layouts for February featuring the "I Heart Us" Cut Above Kit!







Care to make a guess how long it took me to put these together? Just 45 minutes!!! For all four pages! Me! Who doesn't scrapbook!

Now - I'm still getting used to the whole scrapbooking thing so I just followed the kit instructions to  the letter. Maybe I'll branch out and start mixing things up as I do more of the kits. Or maybe I'll add to the pages as my parents anniversary approaches. We shall see. Either way, I think this subscription (which you can do a month at a time, four months at a time, or for a full year) is a great way to put together some great scrapbook layouts quickly!

So - that's it for me! Up next is Diana!

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!
