Happy Paddy's Day- Having a little technical difficulties and unable to post any photos. So I'm with a Happy St. Paddy's  Day,   May the luck of the Irish be with you and hopeful be with me as I work though theses problems.

CTMH Technique - Pattern Switch

This month for the "Close To My Heart" Technique Blog Hop we are doing a Pattern Switch, take a page layout and turn it in to a card. So  I used a pattern from, Imagine™ (Softcover).
 

Now if you are coming from Michelle's Blog  you are on the right track but if you just happen by not to worry the hop is a big circle so just keep hopping and you will see all the creations.

For this card I used my scraps for the ProPlayer paper packet and the Proplayer Assortment  I also used a product that I dearly love Bronze Shimmer Trimmer, and it comes in a variety of colors. Now for the stamp set, I used a set out of Cricut® Artbooking Collection.  That was so easy.


TIPS & TRICK- to make it easier to use the shimmer trimmer leave a little tail of the clear backing.

Now before you hop over to. Michelle's blog, would love to read your comment. Thank you for hopping by and please come back any time.

Heartfelt Sentiments Team Paper Packet Focus - Balloon Ride

Hello and welcome to the Heartfelt Sentiments Paper Focus Blog Hop, for March we will be using Balloon Ride. I may be telling my age but every time see this paper, here the name or think about it, I here the song "Up, Up and Away" in me head.

OK, now let me get back to the blog hop, If you have arrived from Debi's Blog   you are on the right track. Some of you may not know what a blog hop is, it's a big circle of CTMH Independent Consultants showing our creations and this month it is CTMH Balloon Ride paper pack.

Here I have made a 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 (it will fit in a 6x6 envelope) card show just one of the lovely balloons that is printed on the paper itself. I did this card a couple of weeks ago and felt a little bad about not using a stamp for my mine image.  Well I guess I was a little ahead of the curve because after I made my card the Close To My Heart Corp put out a YouTube video showing the same technique with the same paper. 

Now before you hop over to Marianne Blog I would love to hear from you so just leave me a comment and thanks for hopping by.

Make It From The Heart Monday

Yep, it's Tuesday & I'm just now getting my "Make It From The Heart Monday" post but baby, it's been cold out side. The lock on the gate at my barn was frozen and I couldn't get in.  Sorry, I had not taken any photos of any of the My Reflection Swap. My Bad. and I was not prepared.  So now that it has warmed up a little and I could unlock the lock, I took the photo that I needed.

What I'm sharing today is a creation for Joy McHargue, she is a dear friend and my upline. Her paper pick for the Lovelies My Reflection Swap was Balloon Ride  Joy used both the Cricut® Artiste Collection  and Cricut® Art Philosophy Collection.

Check out Joy's blog Studio WOW.
