Happy New Year

With a 2020 Sneak Peak

May much joy and amazing blessings be 

yours in the New Year and the New Decade.

This card is inspired by the sketch at Atlantic Hearts and a few new items coming your way in the new year. The paper is from the new paper pack "Spruced Up" with the coordinating Spruced Up stamp set. I also used the new Happy Birthday Shaker window Thin Cut. I cut the Birthday off to add the 

New Year stamp.

P.S. Can't forget a New Years message at the Holiday

Edition of Heart 2 Heart.

Come back January 1 for a look at the new Idea Book.

Christmas Blessings To You

The First Gift of Christmas

For God so loved the world that He gave 

His only begotten Son.

As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior may His blessings fill your life with His love and grace. I will be thinking and praying for a peaceful and joyful Christmas for you. Thank you for the visit and I look forward to hearing from you during this blessed season.

Love and Blessings at Christmas, Jody

Chocolate Book of Rules

I haven't made a Chocolate Book since 2011 so 

when I saw the colors at Color My Heart I wanted 

to make the Rules of Chocolate Book. For my book

 I used the colors on the bottom row of the 

Tic Tac Toe board below.

Inside book has two Hershey Bars with the pages of rules.

A Nutcracker Collection

Inspired by Color My Heart

The color challenge at Color My Heart inspired this Nutcracker Collection.

It was too hard to pick just three colors. These colors are Nutcracker colors.

So..I made four Nutcrackers with New England Ivy and four different jackets.

All cards are from Make It From Your Heart Vol. IV.

Pattern #7 New England Ivy, Goldrush, and Sangria

Pattern #20  New England Ivy, Goldrush, and Peacock

Pattern #6  New England Ivy, Goldrush, and Smoothie

Pattern #22 New England Ivy, Peacock and Sage

It's Pumpkin Spice time at Heart 2 Heart and 

an inspirational photo of color at Color My Heart.

I used purple, green, and orange with a black background 

from the photo below for my spicy "Hello Pumpkin" card.

Make It Sparkle

With Glitter Paper

I was having a hard time deciding what to do with

 the gold glitter circles that were left over from my 

Holiday Cheer Ornaments. Then as I was reviewing

 the challenges at Heart 2 Heart I see the challenge 

for Sparkle. So.... I gathered my circles and

 made some glittery sparkle gift tags. 

Thank you Heart 2 Heart.

Color Dare #366

Fall is in the Air 

At Heart 2 Heart

This is the last week to get the October Stamp of the Month "Autumn Air."

It's a great stamp set for cards and scrapbook pages. Using  the Multi Square Window die cut

makes it easy to make a simple background for any card. Remember you don't have

to use all the squares. You can cut random sections for more open areas. I cut the big section at the top and inserted a Layered Leaves thin cutd for a background for the word "fall." I cut another smaller section for the words "in the air." Then added leaves randomly to complete the card.

Be sure to share your Fall creation with us at Heart 2 Heart.

I used the Tic Tac Toe color board from Color My Heart

 below for my colors: Paprika, Toffee, and Saffron. Added just a touch of Sage for the green.

Now it's your turn to create with the Tic Tac Toe Color board and share with us at Color My Heart.

Color of the Year

Julep

This card is inspired by the challenge at Heart 2 Heart.

Close to My Heart's color of the year is a soft green 

called Julep. It's versatility makes it easy to combine 

with many color from the CTMH color pallet. This 

card mixes Julep with black and a soft side of Sapphire. 

Now grab your Julep and share your color 

combos with us at Heart 2 Heart.
