For my project I did a card style that I was taught this past weekend a team meeting of the "Light Hearted Lovelies" by Mel. I turned my 11 stamp set intom 14. I had to make this style card so what was a girl to do. Yep you guessed it. I cut my stamp. shhh. I do that all the time with "My Acrlyic" from "Close to my Heart" it is soo easy.

There are 10 participants this month. If you get lost along the way you can see the entire list of hoppers on Rachel's Blog. Let's get started.

I've been having so much fun using the new products from the NEW "Close To My Heart" Fall/Winter 2012 Idea Book that I thought I would use some of the bits & pieces I have left over from some of my new project. There were so many beautiful shades greens, so my inspiration was born.

Today I am showcasing a card from "Make It From Your Heart" and have used many of the new paper packs that have shades of green along with cardstock in Topiary, Olive & New England Ivy. I also used Dard Chocolate Grograin Ribbon, Mini-Melody Accents Antiqued Gold Collection, Words of Comfort Stamp set which I embossed with Gold

Use Your Stash BlogHop - June 2012

This month the "use your stash" bloghop will feature the "oldest paper" we have. And if you are coming from Rachel's Blog you are on the right track.


Now I have been with Close To My Heart almost 5 years and this some paper I first got in "bulk" when I first became a consultant. I have NO idea the name of it is but is is cute & I have used it several times. For this card I used only piece of paper from my pieces of "scrapes"

This is the easel card I made to send to a very sweet young lady from my church. "Bailey" has been lost for several weeks and thought it would be nice to give her a card to let her know that I hope Bailey returns home soon.

Now hop on over to Shirley's Blog to see what she has creative.
