One of my “bucket list” items is to travel to a location during October (hard to do when you’re a teacher) to experience the colors of fall. I’m so envious of those that get to see that for weeks. The reds, oranges and yellows. So dreamy! Here’s “fall” in Florida. Leaves gradually turn from green…
Enchantment Layout for Heart 2 Heart
“Enchantment Abounds” at Heart 2 Heart Challenges this week. As a Close To My Heart consultant the first thing that comes to my mind is the Enchantment line of the CTMH Fundamentals Collection. However, princesses and fairy tales also come to mind…but it’s all up to you. Interpret this week’s challenge however you want. I…

Vines and Twine Challenge
This week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges, it’s all about vines and twine! I chose to focus on twine. I don’t know about you, but it’s almost impossible for me to create anymore without a spring board…namely Pinterest. I don’t know if it’s just because I don’t have the time to sit and stare and…
BeYOUtiful Challenge
It’s a BeYOUtiful week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges! Close to My Heart has a GOR-GEOUS stamp set called Beautiful You, so it was the first thing to came to mind when I saw this challenge. But I used the stamp set for this card a couple of months ago and this one before that and both…
Marker Madness Thank You Card
Between Hurricane Irma evacuation and cleanup, illness and being overwhelmed at work, I missed the design team deadline for the “Mad about Markers” challenge at Heart 2 Heart because I simply lost track of what day it was. I created this card using one of Close To My Heart’s mini stamps and some Shin Han…
Sketch Challenge at Heart 2 Heart
This week over at Heart 2 Heart Challenges, we are having my favorite kind of challenge…a sketch challenge. It’s often how I start almost any project…cards or layouts. It beats staring at a paper or some photos for an hour (or more) trying to make a decision on how to cut my paper and what…
New Challenge at Heart 2 Heart
Next Saturday (August 6th) is National Friendship Day. It’s also the last weekend before kids return to school here on the Space Coast. Translation? Since I’m a school teacher and have to return to school the week before, Saturday is most likely going to be a work-in-my-classroom day, because heaven knows, there’s not enough time…
Play along with Heart 2 Heart Design Challenges & Free CDS File
I’m pleased to announce that I’m back with Heart 2 Heart Challenges as a Design Team Member. I probably have no business taking on any other responsibilities, but there’s something about commitments and deadlines that drives me…motivates me…forces me to take the time to create. Otherwise, all of those other responsibilities take over and I…
"I Love You Papa Bear" Cards
I created the following card to enter into a color challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare, but I’m an idiot and misread the challenge deadline….so I missed it. 😦 Disappointing, but not a big deal really. I got to play with the Jack Cardmaking stamp and thin cuts for the first time AND I…
