Just around the corner!

Here is Christmas right around the corner and I thought, cause I haven't blogged in a while, some of my favorite Christmas cards I have made. All of these cards contain Close to my Heart paper and each one so individual!

This one has some great circles on it and I used a very old paper pack, Just Chillin, I still love the colors in this palette and the retro snowflakes.

This card is made entirely from cardstock alone. I love Pink for winter, it seems soft just like snow. But the multiple shades of pink make the card for me! With real stitching around everything you just want to touch this card over and over!

This is a fun paper pack called 'Jingle' and I love the different shapes on this card. With a heat embossed 'Jingle' and stitching I constantly run my fingers across it!

I constantly get compliments on this card, maybe it's monocromatic scheme or just a bit of sparkle but everyone loves this card!
This awesome card has some of my favorite colors, Blue and Brown, not overly traditional but with white snowflakes, rhinestones, heat embossing, ribbon and stitching this card has lots of elements to play with!
I hope you liked my cards and find inspiration in them!

Heart 2 Heart Challenge - Heat/Dry Embossing

I went a little crazy with the Heat Embossing on this one, I choose just simple Clover Meadow Cardstock and Random Stamped/Heat Embossed the back ground. I then Stamped out the title and heat embossed that baby.

To add a soft touch to my page, I stitched this fun pattern up the side of the pictures to hopefully push the idea of 'Spring' with a little jump! Just a fun page using only pictures, 1 piece of paper and some embossing for that brilliant white!

A couple of days of rest

I haven't been doing much creating lately, been doing all the other things that I neglect to do when I am creating, like laundry, dinner and cleaning the bathrooms (don't want to do that!) As of tonight...after Survivor...I will be back at it, I have 8 calls for this weekend and a crop all day Saturday (hopefully someone comes this time). Lots of time to really get something done. The above layout was for a contest on some obscure scrapbook site, obviously I didn't win! But we will keep plugging away and it seems the magazines think MORE IS MORE...much to my previous statement. I always love comments, so leave one if you have something to say.

Having a blast creating like crazy. I also have a crop coming up and I am going to love getting alot of my projects done. I want to get some great projects done. However with some great sketches on some other sites and blogs have given me some great inspiration. Time to get my groove on and get back to creating.
