It’s time for another challenge at Heart 2 Heart Challenges. This week the challenge is to create a card with fancy folds. What’s a fancy fold card? Anything that requires more than just a standard card fold. I chose to create a diamond fold card. This was new for me, but I loved the challenge….
A Sneak Peak CAS Card
When I was enjoying my first peak at the new Spring/Summer 2013 Idea Book, one of the stamp sets that caught my eye was a sentiment set called “Scrapbook Statements – Women”. I know. Sentiment stamps are probably not the most exciting of stamp sets, but you would probably agree that they are necessary tool…
Secret Message Thank You Card
I found a secret message technique on the internet the other day and I thought I would try it out with a 3 1/2 x 8″ Thank You card. I’m waiting on my new goodies from the upcoming Idea Book to arrive mid-week, so until then, I decided to revisit my Dakota paper pack. I…
Another look…
One of the wonderful things about being a Close To My Heart consultant is the opportunity to get to meet other people (virtually or IRL) who love paper crafting. An even better thing is getting to make real friends with some of them. One such person, I met the summer before last at CTMH’s annual convention. That…
Magnet Photo Easel
Many years ago, I was member of a couple of swap groups on Yahoo. One of the members was selling metal easels that came with a few magnets and I purchased one from her. Like so many of my “alterable” items, it sat on my shelf for a long time. However, a little over a…
Delight
Until I can get my next project photographed and posted, I’d like to return to sharing with you another stamp set that will be retiring at the end of the month. It’s called Delight. This was one of the cards created in an open house almost two years ago. More details can be found in the original…
Scroll Album
As you read this, think of me, as I returned to the classroom today. The creative burst that I had for the last few days will drastically decrease again, as my life will be overcome with grading papers, meetings, lesson planning, inservices, covering additional classes, and all of the other less important…but needed to be…
Snow Much Fun!
I am so excited to begin my second run with Heart 2 Heart Challenges! I so enjoyed it the first time and was so happy to receive another opportunity to participate again. Every term at Heart 2 Heart has had a wonderful and inspiring design team, but I’m particularly honored to be among this particular…
Pirouette Card
Today’s post features the third of a set of cards I created for next week’s Card’s, Etc. Workshop and it’s probably my favorite. (Details about the first two cards were in yesterday’s post.) I wasn’t sure how the color combo would work, but I think it turned out really pretty. I used a little inspiration…
Avonlea Card Workshop
My winter break is coming to a close waaaaaayyyyy to quickly. Unfortunately, my break wasn’t as planned, as I had several medical issues that kept me from “wasting time away” in my craft room. But I’m pleased to say that I managed to have fun today getting the cards completed for next week’s Cards, Etc….
