Brushed Birthday

Happy Friday!  This card was made for a beautiful six year old girl, that loves pink.  She is a little blessing!

I used the Brushed Paper Pack with an added piece of  Hollyhock paper.  Everything was cut from the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.  I used Hollyhock ink (Joyful Birthday), Liquid Glass & Sparkles as well.

Have a blessed day!

Mother's Day - Pencil Bow

Happy Wednesday!  Well, there are only four more days until Mother's Day!  I wanted to do a little something for the gals at my husbands work.  There was a free cut a in Cricut Design Studio a few weeks ago, that is what I used.  I only put one bow on per pencil, but I think they are still cute.

I had two extra bows so, I used them on the jar and card.  Really simple again.  The most work was putting the bows together - with my two year old in the craft room!  :)

Happy Mother's day!  God bless you!

Products used...White Daisy - Hollyhock - Liquid Glass - Just To Say - Cotton Candy

Chalk It Up - Grad!

Good day to you all!  This may be a spoiler alert for my Niece, but that's okay! - (I apologize Katelyn)  :)

She is graduating this May.  This is what I came up with...

All of the paper is from the Chalk It Up paper pack.  I used Archival Black ink with the Smiles Begin With You stamp.  The card was cut from the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge as well as her name.  I also used some Sparkles & Durables Studs for a little bling.  Liquid Glass & 3D Foam Tape were also used.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you enjoyed it!  Have a blessed day!

Stamp of the Month - Rose Blossom Blog Hop

Welcome!  If you have come from Marg's blog, you are in the right place!  She always has something awesome and I cannot wait to see it myself!

Here it is!  My first shot at this months SOTM...

I only used two stamps from this set, but I used three inks: Barn Red, Cocoa & Juniper.  I started out with Colonial White cardstock and a small piece of Juniper.  I cut a PML card out of Jackson Paper from the Artfully Sent Cartridge.  Finished it off with the Edge Distresser, Liquid Glass and 3D Foam Tape.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hope you enjoyed it!  Now you are off to see Shelly's beautiful artwork!

Artiste Butterfly box

Here is a cute little butterfly box made with, of all things, Yuletide Paper!

I cut it out with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge and was able to slip in the "Typed Note" stamp of the month.  Used a few Gold Sequins, Liquid Glass and filled it with "kisses" of course!  Remember to love on your Mother, no matter what day it is!

Thanks for stopping!  Be blessed!

Artfully Sent - MOM

Well, the sun is shining bright today! - Way better than the snow we were getting yesterday. :)

Here we have a Mother's Day Card - Nice and simple!

This is made with the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge!  Add some colored paper to the back of the rose(with Liquid Glass), a few Gold Sequins and Topiary Mini Chevron Ribbon - you're all done!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed day!

Seasonal Expressions 2 Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the Seasonal Expressions 2 Blog Hop!  If you are here from Marg's Potato Patch, you are in the right place.  Actually, no matter how you got here, you're in the right place!  :)

This time, I thought I would do something a little different.  A Pennant Frame!

This is what I came up with...This actually looks like it could be Fall or Spring!  That is good in my opinion.  You can have it out two seasons of the year.

I used every paper in this Blossom Paper Pack, plus Honey & Pear!  Artbooking & Artiste Cricut Collections were used to cut out almost everything you see!  Liquid Glass is all over this, from making things stay, to coating them for strength.  A little Teal Shimmer Trim with the Oceanside & Coral Reef Sequins, give it a little something extra I think.  Archival Black Ink was used for the stamping of Finding The Words stamp set.

 This is actually going to be for my Sister as well.  If you follow my blog you have already seen this card.  My Sister lives in Florida & her favorite color is teal right now.  The timing of this paper pack could not have been more perfect.

She is going to be 50 in May - That just does not seem right!  How did this happen, all the sudden, like that!  We are way too young, for this sort of thing to just pop up like that!  HaHa! :)  Well, I guess there is no sense trying to figure out how time, seems to go by so fast during certain periods of life, right!?   We just need to love our way through it all!  Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Now you are off to see the lovely and talented Shelly!  Have a great time going through the Hop.  There are a lot of talented women on this team!  These here in the hop, are just a few!

Jackson Kraft Container

Happy day to you!  Today I am using the new Jackson Paper Pack & a My Creations Kraft Container.  This wonderful masculine paper is very simply used on the container.  You could add a lot of things to this if you wanted, I chose not to.

I just used a part of a border as that tag and some Gold Sequins.  The rosette is made with the Artiste Cricut Collection & adhered with Liquid Glass.

Hope you enjoyed this!  Have a blessed day!

Peek A Boo...God Loves You!

Happy Easter!  Let me be clear, right from the beginning.  I do not believe in the easter bunny.  I will not teach my child that there is an easter bunny.  Having said that, I realize that most of the world does, so I will do my best to get God in the picture, using the bunny!

I apologize that this in not from CTMH, but the stamped letters are.  Hodgepodge Alphabet (retired) is the stamp set I used.  I think it worked out great with this project!

These are for a 2 & 3 1/2 year old!

I realize that they may be destroyed in a short time, but it was fun making them!  ;)

I hope you have a peace filled Resurrection Sunday!

God loves you - He gave His Son for you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blossom...

Hi!  Hope you are doing great!  This card is for my sisters (50th) birthday!  This is a good way to see if she reads my blog, don't you think!  :)

This card is all Blossom!  I think I used a little bit of everything from this paper pack!  If I didn't on this card, I surely did for the Blog Hop project on the 15th!  You will have to come back, at that time, to see what I did there.  :)

 Did you notice there is no stamping on this one!  One of the borders did it all for me.  My sister has been out of the house, since I was 12.  Most of that has been out of state as well.  When we do get together our similarities seem to show, especially to other people.  This paper pack worked out perfectly!  She gets a lot of her favorite color, teal, as well!  She is an awesome sister.  I wish we lived closer to each other, but that is the way it goes some times.  By the way, she doesn't look close to 50!

A few additional products used on this card are...Teal Shimmer Trim, Coral Reef Sequins, Oceanside Sequins & Liquid Glass.

Hope you enjoyed seeing it as much as I had making it!  God Bless!

The other side of Hopscotch!

Hi there!  Today, i will be showing a card made with the Hopscotch Paper Pack.  This really seems like a girly paper, but it is more versatile, then one might think.

This could totally be used for a BOY!

Colonial White was used for the base and banner  Flaxen, for a banner and backing for the border edge of the duo paper, as the sentiment.  Edged everything with Indian Corn Blue Ink.

Super simple!  Hope you liked it!  Have a great day!

Rose Blossom Seasonal Expressions Blog Hop

Hi there!  If you have come from I Didn't Have Potatoes, welcome!  Marg had something beautiful, I know!  I can't wait to see it myself!  Welcome!  No matter how you ended up here!

I have actually done a two page layout!  I know!  I am as shocked as you are!  :)

Don't get me wrong, I love to scrapbook!  My terrific two year old, however, takes a lot of my time.

I was determined to use the Hopscotch Paper Pack, to make a BOY layout!!!  Yea, that's right!  A BOY layout!  I believe it has been accomplished!  My sweet boy is in the pictures.  He was pushing a truck, he received from his Grandpa, this last July.

 

To BOY it up a little more, I used the Fast and Furious (D1541) Stamp Set.  It worked perfectly with my photos. (I actually cannot wait, to use this set a lot more.  I love it!)  The Artbooking Cartridge for the background and the Sunset Chevron Washi Tape, was the perfect compliment, to the patterned paper.

Hope you enjoyed it!  Be blessed!

Now you are off to Shelly's Pretty Piece!  She will have something wonderful!  I will be seeing it soon too.

Yuletide Carol My Creations Kraft Container

Happy Monday!  I promised to have more projects, with this awesome bold paper, from the Yuletide Carol Workshop on the Go!

 Here is a very simple container.  I used the paper to my advantage.  It did all the work for me.  All I did, was make a rosette, place the beautiful rose accessory on the top of that (using liquid glass!).  Added a little gold shimmer trim around the top edge of the container and three gems on the bottom.

This again, is very simple.  It still looks elegant, even if it is simple!  There doesn't always have to be a lot too it, for it to look good.

A My Creations Journaling Card Box, will be in a few days, so watch for that! 

Hope you enjoyed it!  Be blessed!

Missed the Blog Hop!

Apparently, I do not know how to schedule my blog for auto posting.

I apologize to all of the Rose Blossom's, who were in this Hop.  I know it messed up the connection.

Here it is now...

Welcome to the Holiday Home Decor Blog Hop!  You just came from Tammie's blog I bet.  I know you saw something terrific!

Well, I decided to do a My Creations Pennant Frame, using the Yuletide Carol Workshop On The Go!  Such a great paper and stamp set.

 The Artbooking Cricut Cartridge, cuts out the Pennant, perfectly for you.

 The Artiste Cricut Cartridge, cuts out these awesome flowers and leaves.  Liquid Glass was used to hold the flowers together.

I stamped the "Peace on Earth" on Colonial White paper, using Black ink.  Then I took the, Sap Green ShinHanart Twin Touch Marker, to give it a little something extra.  I also brushed Liquid Glass over the top of it, to give it some sturdiness.

               If you missed any of them, I have all of us participating below!  Have a great time!

Pathfinding/ Yuletide Carol Clothespin Duo...

One side Fall, the other Christmas!  On a 6" clothespin!

 

 What is this?  Well, I will tell you!  I love the thought of using clothespins to hold photos.  However, I thought it would be nice to have one pin, with two purposes.

The first side, I used Pathfinding Workshop on the Go.  What a beautiful workshop!  Using one sheet of patterned paper from the pack and Colonial White paper, where I used the Goldrush stamp pad and one of the stamps from the set, to make my own patterned paper.  I also used the Chocolate and Autumn Terracotta ink pads for the leaves and heart.  Yes, I cut the leaves and heart out by hand!  :)  Not exactly my strong suit, but I think they look good.

 Okay, so here on the Christmas side I used the Yuletide Carol Workshop on the Go.  Using the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge, I cut out the cute little tickets and stamped them with the awesome stamp set that comes with the workshop.  I stamped the tickets with the Cranberry ink pad and edged it with the Ponderosa Pine ink pad.  I also took Liquid Glass and put it over the stamped pine leaf.  It gives it a nice glossy pop I think.

I hope you enjoyed it!  Have a fantastic day!
