Happy Halloween

The first card uses retired CTMH paper and the Artbooking cricut cartridge. I love how fast and quick this card went together. The second one shows Ranger inks and Nevermore paper. The spider web was spotlighted using CTMH inks.

Smile

I played with Some Odd Girl Photo Kaylee stamp set and some scraps left over from another card I was working on.

Faith

I played with a saying from Unity and Close To My Heart papers and flowers. I used last years Fundamentals. I made it pink by rubbing ink on top. You can see the paper without ink behind the saying. The flowers are CTMH. The cross was loose on my desk.

Cheers

I am playing with old papers and a new stamps set from Virgina Turtle Stamps. I used glitter to create the salt. The pink one I cut off the lime wedge because I accidentally colored it wrong.

Too Much Coffee???

Ok this freebie is from Virgina Turtle Stamps. My printer and I were having a disagreement about printing. This image happened to print twice on top of itself. I just love it. I used Close To My Heart inks to color paper. You still have time to take part of the hop. Go Here for more information and to see the amazing sponsors.

Cup of tea

I created another fun card using Paper Temptress papers for the main part of the card. The stamp set is from Virginia Turtle Stamps. I love that you can put different faces on the cups. The butterfly's were fluttering on my desk so decided to use them.

Coffee Fall Hop

Hi Welcome to the Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. There are tons of amazing prices. Go Here to get all the details. For my card, I used Close To My Heart Papers and inks and the Artristy Cricut cartridge. I inked the cups and added liquid glass to give them some shine. The "chocolate" is the new watercolors.

Amazing

I played with some Sizzix dies and Paper Temptress papers. I love the sparkle on the Aquamarine.

Latte

I used Paper Temptress papers and a Sweet n Sassy stamp set for this card. I have been crafting just forget to post on blog. I am on Instagram under Anitalatte13.

Nevermore Blog Hop

You should of come from Andrea's blog.
I played with the new Nevermore paper pack from Close To My Heart. The flower is from the September Stamp of the Month and the Happy is from the Scrapbooking Picture My Life stamp. Both sets are only available till end of September. I am the end of the hop.

Heart

I am playing with the Fundamentals line which is changing patterns on Sept 1. I love that one side shows the hearts and the other side is more embossed feel. I used a retire stamp set.

Birthday

This uses Close To My Heart retiring papers at the end of August. The black stars are retiring too. I just noticed that the bow that I had on the balloons ran away. I will make sure to find it before sending it out. The shape is from one of the CTMH cricut cartridges. I tend to cut a bunch of shapes so I have them ready when I want to craft. The balloon and saying are from the retiring set is called Happy Everything.

Bless you

I am trying to clean up my craft desk and room by detashing. I found these two Unity Stamps and just had to use them. The DSP is from Close To My Heart and flowers colored with a marker. I used CTMH Whisper ink.

Sorry

Hi, Life has taken many turns right now. I won't bore you with the craziness but I saw this set from Virgina Turtle Stamps and thought it is perfect for my life. I love that it has other faces and some other great sayings with this set. I used enamel dots on the eyes. The papers are from Paper Temptress. I love the texture of the Skinny Column papers.

Hello

I am playing with Paper Temptress papers. The metallic paper was embossed and sprayed with inks. The dog and hello are from Close To My Heart called Cuddly Saluations which is a hostess set.

Gee

Hi This is from a hostess set from Close To My Heart. I just decided to distress it because the blue ink got in a spot I didn't want at first so made it look like it was supposed to be there. Remember that August is last month to get this fun paper and other amazing goodies. September starts a new catalog. I am doing a speical gift to all who place an order this month. Go here

Happy

Here is a card using Thistle card stock and ink. Paper Fundamentals Whimsy collection is the green paper. I used Finding the Words stamp set. I love how versatile this set is. I used just the word Happy that was embossed with silver embossing powder. The coffee stamp set is Tim Holtz set.

Coffee

I choose to use Close To My Heart Treats of Friendship. I used Sunset ink to distress the edges and color doughnut and coffee cup. Also, used orange stickles. The paper is Chalk it Up that is retiring end of August. If you are interested in this paper, order soon. I am giving a special surprise for all that place an order during August. You can place an order here.

Septemeber CTMH SOTM Blog Hop

I used September Stamp of the Month flower combined with National Scrapbooking Hello Life stamp set. The flower was stamped with whisper ink then colored with the new water colors. I used the new Nevermore paper.

Nevermore Blog Hop

Coffee Canvas

Ok, I have been playing with all kinds of stuff. My gelatos, sprays, inks and dies and Silhouette. I love the colors and had fun making my first canvas.

Flag

I got some new stamps from Virgina Craft supplies. This is one of my favorite sets. I love the saying. I wish you could see the sparkle in background.

Special

I used Paper Temptress Pop Tones paired with Parchment White Vellum. The circle is Silver Lustre. The close up shows the texture and wish the beautiful silver would photograph better. I embossed the stamps with embossing powder since stamping on the Lustre tends not to dry due to the slippery feel to the paper.

Spring Hop Winner

First this card uses a Close To My Heart stamp set called Treats of Friendship. The papers ribbon are retired Close To My Heart.
Thanks for all the comments!

Season's Givings Blog Hop

Hi Welcome to everyone! I am excited to be part of this amazing hop. I have been so blessed by my crafting friends and companies over the past year. I have blog candy and all I ask is your email so I can contact you easily if you win. The blog candy is a surprise for both the winner and me. Life has been extremely crazy along with my health issues flaring nothing serious just that I have fibromyalgia which is like having the flu aches all the time and cold weather doesn't agree with me. I live in central CA so doesn't get too cold but just enough for me not to like it. Below is a card box and one of the cards that will be in the box. This is part of the candy. Have a great New Year!

The stamp set is from Close To My Heart and the box. I used a Picture my Life card for the balloons.
