Make It From The Heart Monday

Hope your week is off to a good start, mine is. Today I'm sharing a card using SOTM Balloon Talk  paired with Dottie for You retired paper pack.  This butterfly paper is so pretty that I did not do one thing to it, just cut the size of the card, used washi tape that I backed with Daisy White cardstock and pop dotted my sentiment and the card was down.

Remember  -  This has got to be one of the best SOTM I have ever seen and will only be available until April 30.

Saturday Sketch and Color Dare come together

I took some time today and visited 2 of my favorite Blog Challenge -  Color Dare #91 - Crystal Blue, Outdoor Denim, Ariana Green, & Ariana Coral and Saturday Sketch . It took me just a few minutes to come up with this creation. I'm very pleased and I only used scraps.

I used only "Close To My Heart" products Ariana Paper pack, Outdoor Denim Cardstock,  Crystal Blue Cardstock, Outdoor Denim Chevron Ribbon, Slate Striped Twist Ties , Slate mini medley's retired, Grey Bakers' Twine retired and the new CTMH Damask Embossing folder.


Tip & Tricks - I put my scraps in large 12x12 bags, here is how I group them,  reds/pinks,  blues,  greens, yellows,  grays/blacks, browns/tans, daisy white and colonial white. This help me so much to keep my scraps organized and where I can find them.
