Thin Cuts...Love Them!!

Only 4 more sleeps and the 25% off Thin Cuts Sale will be over!

I have always LOVED the THIN CUTS!!  They are so easy to use and can really enhance the project that you are working on!!

As you can see, I used the "LOVE" (Z3257) thin cut, and the "HEARTS" (Z3260) thin cuts on this layout.  I even used the "Love" thin cut to cut through our beautiful

SEA GLASS GLITTER PAPER (Z3240)!

Stamp sets used include the Operation Smile Stamp Set,

"True Love" (D1711) and

"Hello Lovely - Scrapbooking" (D1713), which is only available until April 30, 2017.  All other supplies are current Close to My Heart products and available through my OBA.

I hope that my single page layout inspires you to create today!

Thanks for looking!!

"Things I Love!"

Good Morning!

I know that it's Spring, but since here in Saskatchewan we still have snow, I thought that I would post another Winter Layout!

As most of you know, there are many 'things' that

I am in love with...

glitter paper (the snowflake, the 'xo' and the sea glass sheet),

Close to My Heart Thin Cuts (which are 25% off this month!!!),

Snap Chat (which my daughter and I use to keep in touch),

the use of 'flags' on a layout,

sequins (were not always my favorite, but on this 

layout they look lovely!!),

and B&T paper!!

Life is Great!

Have a Wonderful Day!!

Thanks for looking!

Circles and Shimmer Trim!

Good Morning!

I would like to think that today's post is a quick and simple one!  The left page is to hold two 4x6" photos horizontally and the right is to hold four 4x6" photos vertically, with no cutting for any of them!

I used the 1" circle punch, some of our wonderful shimmer trim, and accented with some sparkles.

The stamp set is "Some Kinda Wonderful-Scrapbooking" (D1716) from our current Seasonal Expressions Catalogue.  Love this stamp set!!

The paper is from the Sugar Rush (X7215B) Paper Pack.

Thanks for looking!

Watercolor Wonder!

Happy Monday!!

Today's post is all about watercoloring...with Close To My Heart's pencils and blender pen, paints and brushes and the fabulous ShinHan markers!!

**

With the "Always Know..." card, I used CTMH's card that they did on their blog last week.  I did not have as much luck with the paints as they did, so changed my watercolor medium to the pencils and the blender pens.  Definitely more my 'thing'!!  This card also features the (Z3301) Hello Lovely Cardmaking Thin Cuts Bundle (which is on sale right now while supplies last!!)!

**

The "Tea Cup Happy Birthday" features the March Stamp of the Month, Tea-riffic (S1703), the ShinHan Markers, the paints and brushes and the Happy Birthday Thin Cut (Z3304), which is also on sale while supplies last!!

(this card is CASED from Pinterest and the originial was created by Laura Beacham)

**

The "Blue Happy Birthday card" features the paints and brushes, the Happy Birthday Thin Cut (Z3304) and the 

(Z3293) Clear Shimmer Brush 

(which doesn't show up well in the picture, but gives the card a lovely sparkle)!

**

On all of the cards I have used (Z3146) watercolor paper as this helps to 'move' color around and be more 'workable'.

This is a card class that I am featuring for the month of March.

Thanks for looking!

Keeping it Simple!

Good Morning, Everyone!

Today's 'work' is honestly about keeping it simple!

For my single page layout, I pulled out some PML (Picutre My Life) cards to enhance my photo.  Used one of them to cut out a couple of circles.

Enhanced the page with a few colored sparkles and this month's SOTM, Tea-riffic!!  This is an absolutely fun stamp set that can be colored with all types of mediums...I used the ShinHan markers for the stamped images on today's page.  

I will definitely be using this stamp set for upcoming posts!  Did you know that there is a way to get this stamp set for $6.00???  Only available in March!!

 I love a good special!!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!!!
