Color My Heart #206

With Florence Colors

Flaxen, Peacock, Poppy, Ruby, Saffron and Whisper

And a sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch

I used the Happy to be Friends stamp set with the colors of

the Florence paper pack and a saffron border from the Enchantment

Fundamental Collection with a zip strip from Florence.

Using the colors of Florence without the papers was a new challenge for me.

Grab your Florence colors and come play at Color My Heart

Heart 2 Heart

Meets Freshly Made Sketches

I guess you can now say  I'm addicted to the new Close to My Heart 

Cricut cartridge Flower Market. It seems I need to make flowers everyday

and this cartridge makes it so easy. I really like stamping flowers but the

dimensional look is so much more fun.

So I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to make this

card with the fence and flowers. 

The colors of the Florence paper pack challenge at Heart 2 Heart 

made the flowers cheerful and gave the card some pop. 

If you miss your chance to play with this sketch another one will be posted

at Freshly Made Sketches on Wednesday. You can play at Heart 2 Heart

until the end of the month so please share your Florence creations with us.

With Thin Cuts

You Get Two for One

The sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch works perfectly with our

new heart shaped Thin Cuts. When you cut the hearts you get

the outline shape and the heart shape...hence two for one.

Inside Heart Shape

The sentiment comes from our new Operation Smile

stamp set "Spread the Love" This sentiment that makes

this card a paper hug is going to be a favorite for a long time.

Heart Outline

I dressed each outline with a small flower.

Use this sketch and the heart Thin Cuts to make your own paper hugs.

Sending Smiles

From the Flower Market

Color My Heart color challenge this week makes for some

colorful flowers from CTMH's Flower Market Cricut cartridge:

Thistle, Eggplant, Juniper, Crystal Blue with White Daisy

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my card design.

Flowers are from page 18 in Cricut Flower Market booklet. I cut all the

parts for the flowers with white daisy CS and sponged each color on

the parts of the flowers and stems. Crystal Blue was used to sponge

the clouds. A little strip of Whimsy Fundamentals was added to the bottom.

Use this sketch to make a fun card. A new sketch will be 

posted at Freshly Made Sketches on Wednesday.  Be sure to check it out.

The fun colors at Color My Heart are good until Thursday so come play.

Flower Market Goes to Florence

With an Atlantic Hearts Sketch

The new Flower Market Cricut cartridge is so fun to play with. It has

lots of individual flowers for cards or pages, flowers on stems, flower

overlays, containers to put them in and wreaths and greens to go with.

The flower market imagination can sure go wild.

Using the sketch below from Atlantic Hearts I filled my basket with

some twigs and flowers from the Florence paper pack. This paper pack is also

the challenge at Between the Folds. So grab your Florence, create an

inspirational piece and share with us at Between the Folds.

If you need a sketch, this one at Atlantic Hearts is

super fun and easy. Check it out.

Sweet Leaf, Eggplant, Flaxen and Colonial White

Soccer Player #15

Senior Soccer

Soccer has been part of our family activities for ten years. Now that

 Zachary has graduated from High School soccer will be a thing

 of the past. It's now off to college, work, or hangin' with the buds.

Scrapbooking his last year was a definite challenge with all the photos to

 choose from. Had to choose the best ones and the ones that told his Senior story.

This sports challenge is brought to you by Heart 2 Heart's last challenge 

of this month. Thank you  Heart 2 Heart for the challenge.

Sightseeing at Heart 2 Heart

With Scrapbook Candy

Using the Go Far stamp set and the Florence paper pack

I made some scrapbook candy to embellish our summer

travel pages. This summer we've been to Hearst Castle, Big Sur,

San Francisco, a week at the beach, and a house boat trip on Lake Powell. 

Lots to scrapbook so I'd better get busy. Thanks Heart 2 Heart

for this fun sightseeing challenge. I'll be back with my pages.
