Copy That

My Favorite Subject

Love to copy. There are so many amazing inspirational talented

paper artist sharing their creations it's hard not to copy. Usually when I copy 

I do put a Jody twist on it like this card I "copied" from the new

Annual Inspirations page 45 for the Heart 2 Heart challenge.

 I used the gold overlay for the stripes and since I didn't

need a Birthday card I made a Happy Day card.

So check out the Annual Inspiration and copy yourself

a project. If you don't have the exact supplies just use

 the ones you have. Change up the colors, use different

stamps, turn the card or page in a different direction but

most of all just have fun.

Boys Will Be Boys

Teenage Boys That Is

In our house our teenage boy is busy with his buds, playing

games on the computer, eating and eating, just hangin' out, etc.

What? the What? What was that? Are You Kidding Me?

So this is my card that says "Boys will be boys" for the

Inspired By

Vicki at the Wizard's Hangout

If you're not hanging out at the Wizard's Hangout you could be missing

some truly inspiring CTMH art. 

 I used Vicki's inspirational card for this. I made the strip on the

side wider and added some ribbon from the Rustic Home Collection.

I cut the thanks from kraft and added a kraft heart at the bottom.

Again I widened the strip, added the ribbon and kraft thanks with

the words from the bottom of my heart in Lagoon ink.

Thanks, Vicki. You're a real inspiration to us all.

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.
