Clean and simple


When I make a card to give to a bride and groom I try to coordinate it with their wedding colors.  (I know.. I'm just weird that way)  The invitation for this wedding was very colorful with touches of bling through out.  The Close to my heart cricut cartridge "art philosophy" helped make this card quick and easy.  The large medallion shape was perfect for my stamp and left just the right spaces for some sparkle.  I hope you've got something to celebrate today.  I'll talk to you again soon.

A challenge or three...



Today was my first day back to school.  I spent the day working on the data base, ordering necessary supplies, preparing book lists and going through mail.  So when I got home it was time for a little creative time in the workroom.  I have been playing with the new Close to my heart Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy, the images are a-maz-ing! I cut the large tag, the scalloped oval, and the postage square frame using the Cricut then stamped and layered to my hearts content.
The stamps are from a brand new set from the new catalog called Sweet moments and I used three different coordinating patterned papers from a special kit called Miracle.  All from Close to my heart.  The ink colors are Sky, Sweet leaf, Bamboo, Colonial white and black.  Tags are some of my most favorite things to make.   This one was inspired by three different online challenges.  The first is the Heart 2 Heart challenge that called for celebrating birthdays,  the second was a mix and match challenge from The Shabby Tea Room .  That challenge was to mix at least three different patterned papers in a project.  The third challenge that inspired me was from Simon Says Stamp it was to make a tag.  I've never tried to combine challenges before and it was "challenging".  But, fun too.  I think I'm done for the evening so I'll say good night and sweet dreams to all.  I'll talk to you again soon.
