Day Eighteen. . .

Here're are a couple cards I did for a worshop back in June. The supplies are all Close to my Heart. The flower stems are from the June stamp of the month (currently unavailable). I also used Just Blooms paper flowers attached with Black Bitty Brads, White grosgrain ribbon, and Flower Dimensional Element.

See you tomorrow. . .

Day Seventeen. . .

So with a Christmas card workshop coming up, I'm in the Christmas mood. I decided on this card because it's one of my favorites. I love the non traditional colors and this Stamp set is one of my favorites.



All supplies are from Close to my Heart. Stamp set is Magical Season, Paper pack is Simple Pleasures, Cocoa Ribbon Rounds.

Have Fun. . .

Day Sixteen. . .

Today's idea is a travel journal I made for our trip this year to Idaho. I used 9 X 12 white envelopes form the office supply store. I folded them in half and decorated them with Close to my Heart's Rustic Trail paper pack and Stickease. I used the Alphabet Solos for the title. I left the flaps of the envelopes open to store keepsakes from the trip and bound it together with my Bind it All. I journaled the events of each day. I still need to add the pictures I took, but thought I'd post it anyway. These little books can be used to record your family's holiday journey and would make great Christmas gifts.

Enjoy. . .

Day Fifteen-Late. . .

Sorry this is a day late, I was so tired after getting home from my son's play, I feel asleep without posting. So here's a creative idea for yesterday.

This cute little Easter card was made with an old retired Close to my Heart wood stamp set and retired papers. I actually found the idea for it in a catalog from 2000 or 2001. It was very quixck and easy.

Until later. . .

Day Fourteen. . .

I know a little behind again. Tonight was opening night for my son's play, Willy Wonka Junior. He plays one of the grandpa's, how cute is that. So here's the creative idea for today.




All supplies are from Close to my Heart

Day Thirteen. . .

Here's the latest in my 61 Days of Inspiration line. . .

I made this cute little box for prizes/gifts for my gathering guests. I used all Close to my Heart supplies, including the box. I took the box that the Close to my Heart distressing kit comes in and decorated it with papers from the Whooops a Daisy paper pack. I added Dimensional Elements colored with co-ordinating markers and covered some with paper. I added organdy and grosgrain ribbons to the handle for an extra touch.

I hope this inspires you to alter your own box.

See you tomorrow. . .

Day Twelve. . .

Here's a cute little desk set for today's creative boost.

I made the frame and pencil holder from 4 inch coasters. All other supplies are from Close to my Heart. More to Adore paper pack, white Just Blooms paper flowers died with Hollyhock and Blush re-inkers, Chocolate ribbon rounds, Chocolate and Baby Pink Bigger Brads, Chocolate, Hollyhock, and Baby Pink brads, and Silver Hinges. I used Liguid Glass to hold the pencil holder together as the ribbon is mainly decorative.

Day Eleven. . .

Good Evening. Here's the next installment for my 61 days of creativity. Yes it's another a card.

This was made using all Close to my Heart supplies.

Day Ten. . .

How about a tag for today. I made this one using Close to my Heart's Good Times paper pack. I'm not a huge fan of this particular pack, but I "made" myself step out of my comfort zone. It's hard to see, but there's a small hole below the arrow and a "wheel" inside. This allows you to pick the date you want in the circle.



Other supplies are Twilight and Sweet Leaf Sassy Strands, Chocolate Organdy ribbon, Buttercup, Sweet Leaf, and Twilight cardstock, Chocolate ink, Star Struck My Acrylix stamp set, Today's Date My Acrylix stamp set (currently unavailable), Chocolate Accents from Mini Medley, additional brad for the wheel "spoke"

Enjoy!!!

Day Eight. . .

Here's today's creative idea. I hope you're not getting tired of cards. I promise there will be more variety in the up coming weeks. I have a bunch of projects to try,just need to find some more time.

I hope you enjoy this one.

All supplies are Close to my Heart. Lovely Daisy My Acrylix stamp set, Cranberry, Topiary, Sunny Yellow, and Star Spangled Blue cardstock and inks, Topiasry brads.

Until tomorrow. . .
