Something Fierce and a Giveaway!

I am in love with the papers from the Something Fierce collection in the new Seasonal Expressions Catalog with Close To My Heart. I was able to attend a regional launch event in December where we had the opportunity to play with the papers and complements from this collection along with the Year of Sweetness stamp set.

I love how these layouts and cards turned out! The great thing about the Something Fierce paper is that these colors can be used for either boys or girls or both. I was able to create these 3 2-page spreads and the 3 cards with just the addition of 2 sheets of white card stock.

I am happy to announce that I have the Year of Sweetness stamp set to give away to one of my customers. To qualify for this giveaway you just need to place an order of at least $30 on my website during the month of January. Will draw the winners name on February 1st.

It's now October and that means - HALLOWEEN! Woo hoo! I know it's a bit goofy but I still love the fun of this holiday.

Boutique

I am in love with the Boutique Paper from the new Holiday Expressions Catalog from Close To My Heart. I just started crafting with it and am already looking forward to working even more with the products from this collection. The colors and patterns are perfect for so many different occasions.

I had fun creating this scrapbook layout with the Boutique Paper pack and Scrapbooking stamp set. I will be offering this layout as a Make-n-Take at the September Day Crop.

Loved the details on the title block and using the Charcoal, Ballerina and Saffron Exclusive Inks. You can purchase the Boutique Paper Pack separately or as part of the Workshops Your Way Boutique Scrapbooking kit.

These cards came together so quickly with the Boutique Paper pack and Card Making stamp set. The Boutique Puffy Stickers added some fun dimension to the cards.

In addition to the cards I made with the Card Making stamp set, I made some using the Workshops Your Way Hugs for You Card Making Kit. The Mink Twine added a nice accent to each card.
