"A Little Everything" for you

It's the start of a new month already! Where has the time gone?

Of course, that means it is time for the Close to my Heart Stamp of the Month blog hop. This month we are featuring "A Little Everything"; a set of 26 stamps. So, sit back, relax and enjoy all the beautiful artwork you are about to see.



Whether you have come from Mary's blog or are just starting here, be sure to make the complete circle. You will have almost 70 blogs to visit for some incredible inspiration!



This month I have two projects to show you. The first one is a photo wallet. I made this with my sister in mind, therefore the fall theme. Inside the wallet is a place for her birthday picture, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Colors are Olive, Goldrush and Vineyard Berry. The flowers and leaves on the front could easily be replaced with stamped images. The tag is from the Colonial White Mini Medley. It was stamped with Stazon.
My second project is a tri-fold birthday card. In addition to the stamp of the month, I used the "Star Power" stamp set. The papers are from the "You Rock" paper pack.

Now hop on over to Cindy's blog to see her beautiful artwork. And remember, this stamp set is only available until the end of March, so order yours today!

Start Hopping Tonight!

Another awesome stamp of the month blog hop starts tonight! Be sure to come back beginning at 9PM (EST) and check out all of the beautiful artwork my sister Close to my Heart consultants have to share.

Unscripted Sketches #44




This card is based on this week's sketch from Unscripted Sketches. I am trying to use up some of my older paper packs. Of course, everytime I try to do this, I seem to get reattached to them and don't want to see them go. How silly is that! I guess I will have to start using them more for scrapbook pages rather than cards. That way, I can go visit my old friends in my scrapbook. LOL!
The stamp set used is CTMH - "Beloved". The paper is CTMH - Floral Impressions (retired).

Unscripted Sketches #43


This is a fun, quick card that I made based on this week's Unscripted Sketches #43. I love using these sketches as a jumping off point, and really enjoyed the added color challenge this week.
I used CTMH's "Animal Cookies" paper and stickease for this card. The stamped sentiment is from "Life's a Jungle".

A Couple of Cards




Here are a couple of cards I made this weekend. The first is based on Unscripted Sketches #42. I used CTMH's "More to Adore" paper pack, Dimensional Elements Hearts and stamps from "Tender Tags".
The second card was made using the "Felicity" paper pack and stamp set. Click on the pictures to make them larger.
Wishing everyone a blessed week!
