Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Tonight I decided to play along with the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop! I have never played along, but have followed the bloghops before and always feel inspired. Now I must admit, I am definitely not a coffee lover; however, I have a lot of friends who are and that is why I LOVE these stamp sets from Verve! I used the fun sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and am also linking up to the "Anything Goes" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.
Paper - Seaside patterned papers, Desert Sand & Colonial White cardstock (CTMH);
Ink - Desert Sand, Lagoon (CTMH); Stamps - Coffee, Better With You (Verve);
Embellishments - Burlap (CTMH); Dies - Cuppa Joe die set (Verve); Cricut cartridge - Art Philosophy (CTMH).

Merci Chalk It Up

I needed some thank-you cards for our Carnaval de Québec celebration at school this week so I whipped up some 3x3 cards for the occasion. I was inspired by the colours at Colour me...! and the fun inspiration photo over at Curtain Call. The sprinkles reminded me of the fun aqua dots I just got!
All supplies are Close To My Heart:
Paper - Flaxen, Lagoon, Chalk It Up patterned papers; Ink - Black;
Stamps - Thank You; Embellishments - Aqua dots.

I also made 400 "effigy" Bonhomme name tags for students coming to our celebration.


Today over at Heart2Heart we are looking for you to become EnTWINEd with Close To My Heart products! Whether that be by using our fabulous colourful twine like I did, or using one of our stamp sets with lovebirds and vines, such as I Do from our Seasonal Expressions mini catalogue, this challenge is open to many interpretations!

I created this card with my friend, Natasha, in mind for her 30th birthday! She is an amazing friend and "simply the bomb" :). I absolutely LOVE this stamp set, which is only available to order until March 31!
All supplies are Close To My Heart:
Paper - Heartstrings, White Daisy cardstock; Ink - Pixie, Lagoon, Black;
Stamp set - You're The Bomb; Embellishments - Lagoon twine, Red enamel hearts.

Come and play along with any of our challenges this month at Heart2Heart!
