Tags!

Here I am with another last minute card for the June Heart 2 Heart Challenges.  I used the June Stamp of the Month, "Garden Tags" to create my tag.  The sentiment on the front is from the July Stamp of the Month, "For My Beautiful Friend S2007". 

The layout is pretty straightforward.  The pink pieces are both 1.5" wide.  The pink patterned paper is 4.5" in length and is matted with black.  Both the tag and the separate flower are bumped up with foam tape. I used the Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers from CTMH for the coloring.

Be watching for some more cards created with the July SOTM.  It is a beauty and I am excited about 

creating more cards with it.

Adventure Abounds!

We have been fortunate to do a good deal of traveling, so adventure is sort of a theme with us.  this layout documents climbing the rocks at the Belogradchik in Bulgaria.  There were even more steps beyond what what can be seen, some without hand rails.  It was definitely a challenge for this Senior, but the views were worth it.

There is not a lot to say about the layout.  The design credit goes to Allison Davis.  The products were all from Close to My Heart. The patterned paper and the accents are from the "Into the Wild" suite and I also used White Daisy, New England Ivy, Sapphire and Heather cardstock. The title was cut on the Cricut with a downloaded font called Miss Poppy.

I hope you are inspired to scrap your latest adventure...no matter if it took place faraway like this one or just in your own backyard. To see more projects, please visit Heart 2 Heart.

May all your adventures be memorable ones!

Tickled Pink

The Heart 2 Heart theme this week is "Tickled Pink" and nothing has tickled me more than the birth of my grandchildren.  Here is a layout I just did for my granddaughter.  She recently graduated from high school and I am working to finish her scrapbooks as a present. This will be the cover layout for one of the books.

I used a variety of products on this layout and was delighted how well they all went together.  The Pixie and Glacier papers are recent papers from Close to My Heart while the background print was from my stash.  Knowing I have little girls to scrap for, a good friend shared the "Shoes" background paper.  It worked perfectly! The green is Sweet Leaf, a longtime CTMH favorite. The title was cut twice on the Cricut with an Artiste cut file.  I trimmed off the words "It's a" from the Glacier paper and glued them on top of the White Daisy. The scalloped circle and the white circle were cut from CTMH dies. 

 Because I wanted to show more pictures, I put this page in a page protector and then added four more photos with Flip Flaps from CTMH and hid the adhesive strips with Shimmer Trim.  Sorry this picture is not very good.

Thanks for stopping by today.  For more "Tickled Pink" projects, be sure to visit Heart 2 Heart Challenges.

In Stitches!

I am enjoying getting back to submitting projects to some challenge sites.  This week, I was inspired by a great sketch from Allison Davis.  While she used star cutouts on the left side, I decided to go with squares.  It seemed that they were easier to evenly space and also pleasantly coordinated with the right side.

The challenge at Heart 2 Heart was In Stitches.  I utilized my Stitched Square Thin Cuts from Close to My Heart to created layers on some of the squares.  All the cardstock is CTMH while the printed papers are from my stash.  This is my granddaughter's last year in FFA, so I am trying to use up those papers

You may view more "stitched" projects art Heart 2 Heart Challenges.  I hope you will soon check back with me to see what else I have been up to.

Happy Crafting!
