Time to Go Green

At Heart 2 Heart

This week's challenge at Heart 2 Heart is all about the green. 

My weekly March Madness green projects will include the greens

 in the current paper packs and my favorite green: Green is for money.

My first green project uses the Later Skater paper pack with pear for the green. 

This clear pillow box includes a pocket holding some of that 

"green" money for a masculine birthday.

And for the girls use Chantilly Pear with Cotton Candy and Lagoon 

for that girly birthday surprise.

And don't forget the pocket that can hold the "green" money.

Be sure to check out all the "Green" at Heart 2 Heart and join the fun.

The winner of this week's March Madness can choose any one of my projects 

along with the pattern for the folds on the money to insert in any pocket.

Two Spring Surprises from Heart 2 Heart

This was a super fun week at Heart 2 Heart. Hope you all remembered to spring forward with the clocks. There was sooo much fun at H2H that I just had to take some inspiration from my friends Amy and Becca and give their cards a try. 

This card was inspired by Amy Moore. When I first saw her card it was a LOL moment. I told her that when I needed to LOL I would come and visit her card but then I decided to make my own. However, on my card my peep was so surprised about Easter that he just sprung up with one of those Adhesive Springs.

Then my friend Becca Whitham shared her card with springs in her butterfly wings.

Now, since I've been playing with those Adhesive Springs all week 

I just had to give those butterfly wings a try. 

So if you would like to win a package of Adhesive Springs just leave me a 

comment and your name will be entered in a random drawing.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for some more March Madness when 

H2H goes Green and there will be more chances to win some great prizes.

March Madness at H2H as We Spring Forward

Getting Ready for More Springtime Sunshine

Daylight savings time is coming this next weekend. That means more sunshine 

but one hour less sleep as we set our clocks ahead one hour.

For my Spring forward project I used a flower shaped cookie cutter to make my spring ahead reminder.

The "Spring" cloud is mounted inside the cookie cutter using our Adhesive Springs. Add a few spring flowers, some green leaves, and a seam binding ribbon bow to complete the project.

Now I invite you to join all of us at Heart 2 Heart for some March Madness and some amazing opportunities to win some great prizes. Heart 2 Heart is offering some terrific prizes for our  readers, subscribers, and crafty peeps. Don't miss your chance to play. We will be having March Madness all month so there will be lots of chances to win.

As we Spring Forward, the prize for this first week from me will be a package of Adhesive Springs. You can play on my blog by leaving me a comment at the bottom of this post. You can also leave me a comment on any post this week for more chances to win. The winner will be randomly selected and announced next Monday when we will have a new challenge.
