Happy Times Layouts and a Special Happy Card

Oh the Happy Times papers just keep going. Tina Lovell created 3, 2 page layouts using the Happy Times papers for us to teach in our clubs. She did a beautiful job and I love the way they came out!





The set in the middle didn't come out great in the photo. The paper is gold metallic and white. Don't you just want these for your own albums?!

I made another card today using these papers for the Mojo Monday challenge and combined it with the Color My Heart Color Challenge which uses the colors from Happy Times. The gold dotted vellum is from my stash. 





Supplies:


I also used an M stamp 
The inks used are the following:

More with the Paper Fundamentals!

I'm giving my club another card to make with the Paper Fundamental Adventure Paper Pack.

Here's the card:

Thanks to my muses from Mojo Monday here is the inspiration.


I am so happy to have all these challenges that I use for inspiration. I've got a collection of cards that makes me ready for whatever occasion comes along. And I save a LOT of money by making my cards rather than the rather expensive cards in the stores. YAY!!!

The Supply List:

How can this stamp not make someone feel good? I love it's simplicity!

Adventure with the Fundamentals Papers

I'm going to be working with the Adventure Fundamentals papers with one of my clubs. I needed to come up with some ideas of what we could create that will get them excited about the papers and complements along with the embellishments that coordinate beautifully with the papers. Close To My Heart's catalog, the Annual Inspiration book that is good until July 31, 2016, is ideal for giving you ideas. So along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, I have my club worked out.

 Here is the card:

The inspiration is from this sketch:


The Supply List is as follows:

Here is the layout we will be creating. This came from pg 111 in the Annual book.

I used the Artistry Cricut cartridge to cut the hexagons in various sizes. If you'd rather stamp hexagons there is a very cute stamp that I was thinking of using-Hexagon Patterns C1626.

I hoping they are going to enjoy these layouts as much as our workshops!!

A Card for Your Beautiful Friend

A round card for a different look came about through Mojo Monday's sketch this week. A choice between round and rectangle was a hands down round pick. It's been awhile I've used the Art Philosophy cartridge Z3171 that has many choices of non rectangle cards. 



The cardstock colors I used are 

which were the choices from the Color My Heart Color Challenge 191 this week.


I added 


to add some bling for the horizontal element.

Now to whom do I send this card? I have many beautiful friends!
