A Little Flirty

I have never been one to keep up with my scrapbooking. I make cards, and don't get the scrapping done.  But with the arrival of this special granddaughter, I think I might do better.  Maybe.....we shall see.  I always have such good intentions, but life gets in my way.  Or at least that is my excuse.  This layout is from our Make It From Your Heart  layout guide, page 22, pattern 9.

Supplies used:

Flirty paper Pack  X7160B  (retiring Jan. 31st)

Chocolate, New England Ivy, Goldrush and Bamboo Card Stock

Black Ink and a Wooden Button

Autumn Lane Assortment  (retiring Jan 31st)

Arbor Wooden Shapes (retiring Jan 31st)

Autumn Leaves  (retired)

Stamps:  A Typeface  A1117 and Save the Date (retired)

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Happy Birthday and Dakota

I am always impressed with the artwork that I see on the Mojo Monday blog.  There are so many talented people out there making cards and creating wonderful art pieces.  This is a card sketch from that blog.  I am not brave enough to put my cards on it, but I do love their sketches.  They inspire me.  This is number 275 by Julee Tilman.  Go on over and check out the great stuff. 

Supplies:
Dakota Paper Pack
Black, Barn Red, White Daisy, Whisper and Pacifica CS
Black and Barn Red Ink
Milepost Stars

Thanks for looking

Flirty Will Soon Be Gone

If you didn't get this great paper pack, it will soon be retired and gone. There are several paper packs from the current catalog along with certain embellishments that will retire at the end of this month.  It might show up sometime in the "while supplies last" list, but do you want to take that chance?  This has been such a fun paper pack to use.  Don't miss out on getting your very own.

Do it with Heart,

A Valentine

Valentine's Day kind of sneaks up on me if I am not paying attention.  With all of the flurry of winter and remnants of Christmas, it is here before I know it.  This year, I have gotten a head start.  I'm the one who is looking for heart napkins and paper plates the second week of February.  Not this year, I have mine already.  

This is the Stamp of the Month for January.  The flowers and sayings are just gorgeous. This is a good candidate for markers.  And I think that these flowers will be showing up on more than just Valentine cards for me.

Supplies:
White Daisy, Cotton Candy and Hollyhock Cardstock
Black and Cotton Candy Ind
Alcohol Markers: Cotton Candy and New England Ivy
Cuttlebug Folder, Pop Dots

Do it with Heart!

Happy Birthday...Artiste Style

I sometimes forget about the wonderful stamp sets that come with the two Cricut cartridges we have.  Art Philosophy and Artiste.  Here is an example of one from Artiste.

I really like this one!  Great words, banners and images.  Below, I used it to make a really simple birthday card using the Dakota Paper Pack.  I love the stripe piece that come with the pack.  And notice the balloon string.  How cute is that!

Supples:  
Dakota Paper Pack
White Daisy and Pacifica Card Stock
Cranberry, Black and Pacifica Inks 
Pop Dots

Check out those stamp sets.  Get them out and use them!

A little Dakota

I thought I would try my hand at using the Dakota Paper Pack.  It seems like I have gotten side tracked with other business lately.  I really needed to create something.  Here is a standard card using Dakota as well as Black and Barn Red Cardstock.  The stamp set is Casual Expressions (D1525).  I tried to distress the sentiment a bit.  The white seemed too stark.  There are also sparkles from the Black and Grey Assortment (Z1754).  Also notice the zip strip from the paper pack.  I just love using those.  This card will be offered in the "Guy" card workshop next week.  I hope the girls like it.

Stay warm!
Do it with Heart!
