Brae'ers Team Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends!
 
     Well its time again for our team's blog hop! If you have come from Kim McArhter's blog then you are in the right place!! This month we will be focusing on the cricut and the art work that they can do!

CTMH now has 3 cartridges with over 700 images in each! they really pack a punch! I have just receive the newest one called "artbooking" and this is the layout I made....

I used Sorbet card stock because it really captured the beautiful sunset! and the paper surfs up was perfect! Luckily you can still get that paper as it has carried over to this idea book on page 55.

I used the overlay on pay 81 and the photo frame from page52 and the words coolin off from page 53. Here is a closeup of the left side......

and now the right side

I also used the workshop on the go stamp set for the sun and the wave :) It may need some more embellishments.....what do you think????

Please continue on the hop to see what Brea's blog to see what she has made.

Thanks for stopping in :)

Hello Crafty friends!
      Today I had some time to make a few cards. First was for the colour dare over at http://www.colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.ca/  The colors are pear, lagoon, and buttercup. They came out pretty bright on my card.....so far its not my fav. What do you think?

     My next card was one I had started making and finished when I found it today since my boss asked me to make some thank you cards :)

     This last card is for my honeys birthday today :) I also used the AHSC #17 check them out here .http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/ This one was a little bit of a challenge for me but I really like how it turned out! love the proplayer paper pack and the hexagon shapes :)

Well.....Im off for vacation for 2 weeks! I cant wait!! Going camping in Algonquin.... So far the weather looks good! Hope it stays warm!
Take care...Hope you get some inspiration.

Huntington and Lola cards

Hello crafty friends!
    This week I am planing my launch party for CTMH,s new Idea book and wanted to use the laughing lola paper pack. I got inspration from this card 
it was created by Sheila Bennett and based on CTMHs recipe number 21 in the "make it from your heart" volume 2. So here is my card

With that done I moved on to my display boards and I was working with the Huntington paper pack! I also wanted to play along at Color My Heart.... I won over there last  :) so honored!!

check them out here http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.ca/  There challenge this week was to use the colors Champane, cashmere and your own colour......so since I was using the huntington paper pack I chose Barn Red! Here is the card I made :)

I used the Glory to God stamp set. I just love how it turned out!! I was going for a vintange feel...Im not sure I pulled that off but I love the card anyway! I also used the sketch at Christmas card challange #36 here http://christmascardchallenges.blogspot.ca/. I Have also entered this card into the Christmas Cards All Year Round blog here.http://christmascardsallyearround.blogspot.ca/...there challenge was to "make it fancy and fussy"...well this is as fussy as I get :)

Hope you get to craft this week!

AHSC # 15

Hello crafty friends!

   This week at AHSC I adapted the sketch slightly! check out the sketch here http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/ I have always wanted to try this "triple stamping" technique that I learned last year from a sister consultant but I have never tryed it! Then when I was sleeping inspiration hit! ( probably because I was talking to her  and you know how the subconsious works!) Anyway I just added an extra layer and I just LOVE this card!! It is bright and cheerful and I know just the girlfriend who is getting it for her birthday! She hates white, open space and there is NONE on this card! :)

Till next time! hope you get some inspiration!

Hello crafty friends!!

   Today I am working on display boards and using the pro player paper pack I needed some inspiration :) so I turned to some challenges! First card is for the mojo Monday challenge here http://mojomonday.blogspot.ca/

My card isnt quite square but it uses the sketch so I hope it qualifies :)

my next card I got the inspiration from here  http://designed2delight.com/blog/2013/07/i-heart-card-sketches-no-27/ 

and my final card uses a cute new penguin stamp set that is only available to someone who hosts a ctmh party.....I can help hook you up if you like :) this is a great way to use up scraps so I am entering this card into the ABC challenge here http://abcchallenges.blogspot.ca/

Well I hope you like my cards and/or find inspiration.
