Hello. How is your Saturday going? We are all snuggled in here with warmer than average temperatures for this time of year.
I am back again today with another post featuring a card.

Do you ever create a layout and then go back to it the next day (haha, in the light of day) and think something just isn't right? If you do, than you can commiserate with me on my next layout.

Recipe:
Paper: Sangria, Champagne CS, Colonial White CS, Pomegranate CS, Eggplant CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Friend Tree, Hello Life - Scrapbooking, Zoe WOTG (CTMH)
Inks: Poppy, Pomegranate, Eggplant, Honey, Goldrush, Fern, Champagne (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors, Stitch Ruler (CTMH)
Other: Thin 3d Foam Tape, Pink Enamel Gems, White Embroidery Floss (CTMH)
Don't get me wrong; the tags are cute. But with them added (following sketch), it no longer felt visually balanced with the left page (hip to be square). So after pondering it for a while and asking advice from my consultant team, I decided to ditch the tags, and move the camera cluster to the lower right corner of the photo group. This helped to draw attention to the beautiful photos, and I was able to add more heartfelt journalling to my layout, as well.
The purple bases and fab. photos help to make this layout one of my new favorites.
Thank you for stopping by today. We are getting ready to go on a Fall Photo Shoot. Hope the kids will smile.

Here is another card I created using leftover scraps from the Blossom Card Workshop on the Go kit.
Recipe:
Paper: Blossom (retired), Kraft CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Blossom Card WOTG (retired), Hello Life - Cardmaking (CTMH)

I kept this design clean and simple.
Have a great day.

I'm changing things up a bit with a card. I made this one a couple of weeks ago to celebrate National Stamping Month.
It really is a true holiday, even if my hubby thinks I made it up as an excuse to buy more stamps. LOL
Recipe:
Paper: Blossom (retired), Paper Fundamentals - Basic (retired) White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Hello Life (CTMH)
Inks: Glacier, Sunset (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Slate Ribbon (retired), Gold Sequins (CTMH)
This is one of those cards where I was just messing around with the star random stamping. Hubby had just come in with his first load of fire wood, so I rushed out to help him stack him. When I returned, I was like "Whoa. This is pretty cool." And so I finished assembling it, and stood back to soak up all that crafty goodness. Yay!
Don't forget, you have until September 30th to order your very own Hello Life - Cardmaking stamp set. We also have two other stamp sets in this series, but I find that they all work very well together.
Be sure to check out my website for more details, if you haven't already. Thanks for stopping by.

In honor of National Stamping Month, Close To My Heart has released a stamp trio perfect for all types of papercrafters. It is called "Hello Life", and is available through September 30th.
I found time to play with the card stamp (pictured in the middle - above) this past weekend. It makes really cute cards.
Each set is available for $13.95 USD, or bundled for the discounted price of $34.95. So many exciting possibilities with these stamps. What will you create?
