Sending Love

I finally this week had a second to make a few cards.  I needed a birthday card and a baby shower card.  And then with the scraps left on my desk I came up with the other card just because I wanted to use the paper packs together.  :)

Here's the card for the baby boy shower.

I love the mustache stamp.  And those prim little buttons of stickers from the Huntington Assortment.

Next up is my combo card.  I got to use the new Lifting Spirits stamp set.  Only available through the Holidays From The Heart gift guide.

Click on the pictures to enlarge them to see details.  I just love the shimmer trim!

Friend Layout {Using Chantilly Papers}

When I saw the beautiful layout in the 2013 Spring/Summer Idea Book on page 19 I thought it would look fantastic framed on the wall.  Then the more I thought about using it for a workshop, I wanted to make a companion layout.  Welllll long story short--here is what I ended up making.

This is what I did with the LO from the Idea Book.  I flipped it.  And since I didn't have the exact stamp I improvised.  (Which was much easier since my stamps are now cataloged--more on that in a future post.)

Here is the companion LO.  It's a take on page 27 in the Make It From Your Heart Volume 1.

Some of the details...

And here are the two LOs side by side...

I am so happy with how they turned out, but I feel like they might be a little involved for a workshop.  I'll have to think about it a little.  ;)

I hope to have a post about how I organized my stamps up soon so check back...

My Creations Container {Chantilly Papers}

I have been itching to make something with some of the new product (available for purchase February 1st) and I finally sat down today to work with it!

One of my favorite new products...and there are a lot...is the Kraft My Creations Container.  When you look at it you can just imagine the possibilities!

And with the lid on...

It is a sturdy little container that is just perfect for filling with goodies!  And I choose to use one of the new paper packs Chantilly to add some beautiful spring color.

The flowers are from the Cottage Assortment--which is still available.  ;)  Chantilly has SO many colors it matches just about anything!

 
If you're wondering, that delicious chocolate drizzled caramel corn is none other than Snackwell's snack packs.  It's super yummy!

I wasn't sure about the lighting so I took a few more pics in my office.

I can't wait to order some more of these containers--they will be great to have on hand for quick gifts!  Hope you enjoyed this project...and stay tuned for more new products!
