CTMH Way

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the CTMH way !!!! This is a card that I created for a quick & Easy beginners card class.  With CTMH they make t SO easy with layouts in the Make it from the Heart books and ALL the coordinating stamps and paper make crafts come together in a snap.    For this card I used Ariana B&T Paper Pack, Dreamer stamp set, and Hollyhock ink.  For more CTMH way inspiration follow this link to H2H - CTMH Way

Sketch Challenge Heart to Heart style

I love a sketch challenge!!!  Heart to Heart has been an inspiration to me and has encouraged me to keep crafting even through the dry spells.  This challenge was no different !!!

This is what I came up with for this challenge!

For this card I used my CTMH Markers, the clouds are stickles, Twilight ink, and the stamps are from the Rain or Shine stamp set from Seasonal Expressions 1.

Up, UP, and AWAY !!!!!!

I made this card to wish my youngest nephew a great BIG HAPPY 8th Birthday!!!!!  I went with a theme idea for his gift and bought him a rocket.  So you can imagine my suprise when the challenge for this week at "less is More" was Up, UP, and AWAY !!!!!! For this card I used Pacifica Cardstock and my Cricut Artiste cartridge.  As if cutting it from my Cricut wasn't simple enough the rest was just backing the card with glitter trim and Confetti B&T paper.  I finally added some stars and epoxy bubbles to lend to the outer space feel of the card.  Viola quick and simple and yet SO perfect for a boy's birthday and a less is more challenge !
