Paper Playtime Challenge

I have 2 cards I made with the Close to My Heart Stamp Set "Fabulous You" which I am posting to the Paper Playtime Blog Challenge  "Use a Sentiment Stamp".  Each has a different Sentiment and picture.

 

 

Both are made with CTMH Cardstock, Inks & Bakers Twine. I used Watercolor Pencils to color in the flowers.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

This week at Heart 2 Heart "Love is in the Air" is the theme for the challenge. I made this card for my daughter using La Belle Vie paper and Quick Cards - Butterfly. The Heart is cut from the Art Philosophy Cartridge and is being held in place with a Pin Clip.

Heart 2 Heart - Home Decor

This week the Challenge at Heart 2 Heart is Home Decor.  I decorated this Close to My Heart Bracket Frame using Avonlea paper, both CTMH Cricut Cartridges, (Art Philosophy and Artiste), the monogram "Z" stamp and Opaques Pearl Flourishes.  The picture is of my daughter and her husband on their wedding day last September.

Heart 2 Heart Hot Cocoa!

The Challenge this week at Heart 2 Heart is to share a cute cup of cocoa or a hot trendy Cocoa-color inspired creation.  For my card I used Cocoa Ink, Cocoa and Sunset Cardstock and the new Close to My Heart Buzz and Bumble paper Pack with a combination of 2 new CTMH Stamp Sets, Dragonfly and Fabulous You. And, the Burlap Ribbon goes so well with this new paper pack! 
This ia also a "preview" of the cards we will be making at my February Workshop.
