I've been eyeing this yoga stamp set from Penny Black for years and this Christmas someone finally bought it for me - yay! This particular stamp reminds me of a good friend and her love of yoga and icecream! I loved colouring this fun image up with my Tombow markers. I'm hoping this will be the first card in a yoga set :). I used the Sketchy Saturday layout for this card.

The new Feels Like Home paper collection from Close To My Heart has my attention in the craftroom right now and I cannot stop creating with this beautiful paper! Here is a sympathy card I put together using CAS(E) this Sketch. See the picture links below for some of these products!

I needed a baby card for a friend this week and I knew just the paper collection I wanted to use. Our new Close To My Heart paper collection, Feels Like Home, is beautiful and perfect for many different occasions. Using Freshly Made Sketches again I set to work with this beautiful saying from Papertrey Ink.

Thought I would also post these photos showing the realities of staging a photo in my house these days :) - love it!




It's my birthday month and Lawn Fawn sent me a free birthday gift with my order! This sweet little koala was fun to colour up with my Tombow markers and I loved using some of the other Lawn Fawn products I own to create this sweet card for my son's friend's birthday :). I used Freshly Made Sketches and am also linking up with the "Happy Little Critters" challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics.

The important things should include chocolate, right? And anything filled with huckleberries is an automatic winner in my books (you can find these incredible chocolates at our local Sweet Gestures Chocolate Shoppe). I'm linking up with the "important things" challenge over at Heart2Heart as well as the "clean and simple" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

I was able to get into my craftroom on the first day of the year, but it took me a couple days to finish off this card. I was excited to play with some new items I got for Christmas and thought it best to make my husband's birthday card since it always sneaks up on me. I set to work with Sketchy Saturday design but I was feeling more of a horizontal card for this one. These Lawn Fawn papers paired with the stitched snowflakes just scream "wonderful winter" to me, so I am also linking up with the Lawn Fawnatics challenge. I decided to make a few variations of this card using the different plaids from the pack.

Paper - Perfectly Plaid Chill (Lawn Fawn); White Daisy, Sapphire cardstock (CTMH)
Ink - Evergreen Bough, Fossilized Amber distress oxide ink (Tim Holtz)
Dies - Dotted Patterns - Set 3 (Studio Katia); Stitched Alpine Snowflakes (Poppy); Happy Birthday Words (YNS)
