An Atlantic Hearts Sketch

The challenge at Heart 2 Heart is to use a product from the new Holiday Expressions. One of my favorite products in the new Holiday Expressions Idea Book is the new Holiday  Kitchen Recipe Kit. It will be so nice to have all my holiday recipes in one place instead of looking up recipes in 6 different books. I used the leftovers from my kit to make this card.

I used 4 letters in a row instead of 4 trees from the sketch at Atlantic Hearts.

Be sure to check out the Holiday Recipe kit and keep all your holiday recipes in one spot.

Cuteness Overload

With a Punny Pal & a Sneak Peak

I just couldn't wait to try a shaker card with this cute 

little bunny from the Punny Pal stamp set. 

Since I don't have my shaker kit yet I had to make up 

one with what I had on hand. I'm looking forward 

to the shaker kits for an easier time making one.

In the mean time here's my Hoppy Birthday card 

for my honey bunny. Is that bunny cute or what? 

Actually all the punny pals are adorable. Be sure to get

 yours before they retire on Friday, August 31st.
