~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What inspired me to create the card I created today??  A friend had asked if I would create cards so that she could give them to her friends to ask them to be in her wedding party next year.  Wow...what a task to accomplish, but I was excited as I thought of the possibilities to create something with the Flower Market Cricut Collection! 

She gave me her wedding colors of mint, plum & peach, which lined up with CTMH's colors of Sea Glass, Eggplant, and Sorbet.  

Here is the card I created for today :)  

Can you believe it - I didn't do ANY Stamping on this card!!! 

I used our Color of the Year" here at Close To MY Heart - Sea Glass cardstock...it sure is a favorite color of mine this year!

I used two Flower Market Cricut Keys on this project...Key "Ranunculus" (pg. 41 in handbook) AND the lace for the jar was found on "Key Q" (pg. 11). 




The other paper packs I chose to use were the Rustic Home and the Uptown Fundamentals paper packs.  These papers are SO VERSATILE and can be used in almost any creation! :)  Since I was going for a "rustic" look - these paper packs were perfect to use! 




The only embelishement I chose to use was the Rustic Home Ribbon pack to stay with the rustic theme.  Just plain & simple. :) 


The intricate cuts of the Flower Market Cricut Collection AMAZE me!!! There were3 different layers to the full circle rose...but each piece, added so much more dimension to the rose!

Happy Thanksgiving! :)


This is the time of year to remember the many things I am thankful for.  J That list could be huge, but God has shown me through His Word again & again, that it's a choice I make.  That I can CHOOSE to be thankful for only good things...however Scripture tells us in I Thessalonians 5:18 to be thankful in ALL things.  (I'm pretty sure that means good or bad things. ;) ) 

  Wow - that's hard - but oh so true! It's during those "hard" times that I tend to experience growth, and I get to choose whether to draw closer to Him to carry me through, or to wallow in my own misery without Him. May I continue to be open to learning to be MORE like Jesus!

Also, as I think about the MANY good things God has blessed me with...all of YOU come to mind!! J

I want to take a moment to THANK YOU for your friendship....for following this blog, for your comments, for ordering workshops, for sharing a little bit of you with me!  I have gained so much as I've become a part of the crafting world, and that is the FRIENDSHIPS that have formed!!  I am forever grateful to each one of you & treasure our common likeness of enjoying papercrafting together!  J

May you & your family have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!!

Here is the card I created for today…



Christmas?  Yes...crazy isn't it?!?! :)  Christmas will be here before we know it! 

 I wanted to share this card today, because it used the November Stamp of the Month - New Year's Cheer!  

Take a look at the stamp set....



Yes...it may be a New Year's stamp, but look at the shapes separately, and you'll be AMAZED at what ideas pop into your head! :) 

I was so excited to see how this card came together after cutting out our NEW Thin Cut Snowflakes with our silver glitter paper. 

So simple, so sparkly, so easy!  


I used ONLY cardstock in this card creation - Sea Glass (our color of the year) , Black and White...how EASY is that?!?!  

AND...do you see that black sparkle....if you know CTMH products, you know we don't have a current product that IS a black sparkle. :)  NO problem....I pulled out my ShinHan alcohol black marker and TA-DA....a black sparkle!! 



The snowflakes come from our FABULOUS NEW Thin Cuts...if you haven't checked out this recent addition of these metal dies, you can do that by clicking here.  


That's all for today....thanks for stopping by, and I hope you were inspired to ready to go CREATE something on your own!
