A Pocket full of Posies

I had the pleasure of getting to make a few cards with a friend last night. And out of the ones I made this one was by far my favorite. I bought the Card Word Puzzle stamp set for the beautiful flowers, but I had no idea how much I really was going to love the way it turned out. I took the flower and did a random stamp on White Daisy cardstock using Black ink and then used the Blending Pen to fill in the center using Honey ink. I used Juniper for all of the other color and an Irrestible frame to stamp my sentiment.

Embellishments that Make You Jump!

Every time a new Idea Book is released I say, "this one is my favorite."  I love all of the new products Close to My Heart has unveiled especially the new embellishments that make everything from my cards to my layouts have an extra pop. Watch this video from CTMH and see if you think of Spring.

Simply Twins

I love simple color combinations they really bring the eye to the embellishments. I used Close to My Heart's Heavenly Blue and Sunkissed Yellow to welcome the arrival of 2 baby boys. Coordinating Heavenly Blue embellishments were added and the Family Ties stamp set (retired). The card base was made using the New Arrival cricut cartridge.
