Open House Prepping

Hello there!

Happy Veteran's Day and thank you to all of our military personnel that have served our country allowing us freedom!

Our office at worked is closed due to Veteran's Day so I've been getting scrappy and prepping for a Close to My Heart Open House/Card workshop that I'll be holding on December 5th.  Chloe has been having fun with mom today too while Beau is at school :)  Here are a couple of layouts I created to display at the open house: (sorry about the photos- the best I could get them)

Laughing Lola

Sparkle and Shine

I had so much fun putting these together!  I can honestly say these two packs have become my favorite, but I say that about every pack- even the ones that don't catch my attention right away.  Sparkle and Shine is so festive and Laughing Lola is so versatile.  New product should be here soon so I can create the 5 cards I'll be offering in the workshop.  I'm really looking forward to the open house and so happy to be back with Close To My Heart on the Rose Blossoms team!  My team leader is Brenda Rose and she has also created a challenge blog: Rose Blossom Garden which has incredible artwork on it and fun challenges (I've added a page on top that will direct you to it). I've also added a link my CTMH website on the right for any of you interested in checking it out.  CTMH has really came out with something for every crafter. Whether you scrap, make cards, enjoy home decor creations or dabble in jewerly making, there is something for everyone.

Thank you for stopping by :)  I appreciate it!

Have a great day,

Kim

Give Thanks For all You Have

Hello there!  When I first saw huntington, it wasn't my favorite.  I ordered it and LOVE it!  Seems to always happen to me :)  I'm excited to take the kids to the pumpkin patch this month and thought the pictures would look great with the layout. If not, I now have a layout for Thanksgiving :)

I again used the "Happy Autumn" stampset on this layout along with CTMHs Sept stamp of the month.  Can't wait to put some pictures on this layout :)

This page was pinterest inspired by this page HERE

JOY with Dream POP

The idea for this card came from the Christmas cards I ordered online- I love the trendy bright nontraditional colors for Christmas. Don't You?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Kim :)

Happy Autumn

The challenge over at Heart 2 Heart challenges is to create something Au Naturale.  I created this cute little burlap bag.  Burlap has such a natural look to it and they are perfect for candy! :)  I used the "Happy Autumn" stamp set (CTMH) on this little bag.  I wasn't sure about stamping directly on the bag, but it turned out great with the pigment ink.

I'm also playing along with Stampin Royalty and their picture inspiration challenge.

 

 

Just a reminder about my 100 follower blog candy giveaway- When I reach 100 followers (ONE away!) I will give out some yummy blog candy!

Thanks for stopping by! Kim

Just Believe

Good Morning,

I dug out some older CTMH scraps and added a little sentiment to it.  Since I was on a 10 minute or less card kick, this one was also created in minutes.

This is a great way to use up scraps and make multiple cards to give as gifts.  It's fun put 5 cards together and tie a ribbon around them and give it to a friend.  The sentiment and flower are from CTMH's You Are My Happy.  Such a fun, cute set!

Kim :)
