Good morning. We are almost ready to go to gymnastics, this morning. But I wanted to share a card I created earlier in the week. This one was also inspired by the Seasonal Expressions 1 book.
Recipe:
Paper: Hopscotch, White Daisy CS, Flaxen CS (CTMH)
Stamp: A Bunch Of Thanks (CTMH)
Inks: Smoothie, Glacier, Black, Olive (CTMH)
Tools: Gold Metallic Marker, Micro-Tip Scissors, Paper-Piercer, Journal Pen (CTMH)
Other: Stuck On You Puffie, Flaxen Twine, Foam Tape (CTMH)
I love this card so much, I will probably create several more just like it to fill up my box.
Have a great day.

Last weekend, I was getting my craft on. Sometimes, cards are really easy, and other times they may take a while to come to fruition.
I was inspired by the artwork on the back of Close To My Heart's Seasonal Expressions 1 book. I used different stamp sets to create my version.
Recipe:
Paper: Heartstrings, Hopscotch, White Daisy CS, Glacier CS, Flaxen CS (CTMH)
Stamps: It's Your Day (retired), Have a Happy Day, A Bunch of Thanks (CTMH)
Inks: Glacier, Smoothie, Lagoon, Black (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Gold Sequins, White Embroidery Floss (CTMH)
I hand-stitched this card while my daughter watched Disney and snuggled with her Daddy on the couch. It was a rather sweet moment, and I ended up not finishing this card until the following day so I could just enjoy being in the moment. Having a good night's sleep also gave me clarity on what stamps I ultimately ended up using.
Since it's Friday, I have some crafty plans for the day. Hope you can find some time to get your craft on, too. Have a great weekend.

I was inspired by a layout featured in the Seasonal Expression Book to create my next layout.
Recipe:
Paper: Hopscotch, Flaxen CS, Glacier CS, Colonial White CS, Smoothie CS (CTMH)
Stamps: A Bunch of Thanks, Hopscotch WOTG (CTMH)
Inks: Smoothie, Glacier, Indian Corn Blue (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH), Petite Hole Punch (Other)
Other: Hopscotch Complements, Flaxen Twine, Stuck On You Glitter Puffies, Junebug Puffies, Foam Tape (CTMH)
I highlighted pictures from our trip to the fair last summer. Jackson gives this layout a thumbs up. High praise from the child that says whatever he thinks...no filter whatsoever. LOL
I am entering this into this week's Use Your Stuff Challenge #175: Twine. I had to get creative and punch holes in the tags to add twine. I also added a bow to the left page.
Have a wonderful day.
