It is bittersweet for me to say this will be my final post on the Heart2Heart Design Team. I have served 3 terms from July 2014 - December 2015! During my time I have felt so much inspiration, tried out new techniques and stretched my crafting repertoire. With the craziness of December and finishing up my first two Master's courses, I am a little late with this post. This holiday season is a tough one for me, but I feel so fortunate to be able to be around supportive family and friends. For my Christmas cards this year, I really focused on the theme of my heart and created all of my cards with the same design this year.

A big thank you to Haley and the rest of the Heart2Heart design team for a great experience!

To start the month off at Heart2Heart we are promoting items from our Holiday Expressions catalogue! Get your supplies while you can as everything in this mini-catalogue will expire at the end of this month. Stay tuned for a new Seasonal Expressions in January :).

I couldn't help but make another coffee cup card from the Artistry cartridge with our beautiful White Pines paper collection. I also used some white glitter paper from our Gold Glitter Pack.

Today over at Heart2Heart we are featuring watercolour! Whether you like to use watercolour paints or watercolour pencils, we want to see your beautiful creations. I have been playing around with my watercolour paints this fall and have been working on this effect. Here is a fall card I created.

It is my turn to post on the Heart2Heart blog this week and we have a sketch challenge to show off to you! This sketch was created by one of our talented Design Team members, Brandi!

This week at Heart2Heart we challenge you to doodle or create something inspired by doodling! I got an exciting package in the mail from Close To My Heart the other day, so I set to work with some of my new supplies.

I thought one of the patterned papers from the La Vie En Rose paper collection looked like doodling! I used a pocket card cut out from the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge and set to work using some of our new colours from the Paper Fundamentals Enchantment (Eggplant, Sapphire, Saffron, Pomegranate) pack. To top it off I used a PML gold overlay.

Hope to see you in the gallery over at Heart2Heart!

I am in LOVE with my new watercolour pencils from Close To My Heart and this week at Heart2Heart we are showcasing colouring! I needed some Thank You cards heading back to school this week, so I set to work with some of my new supplies and tried out a few different styles.

What a way to make a livin' ;). It's getting close to that time of going back to work for me - eek! In the meantime, we at Close To My Heart have been working hard to get ready for the release of our new Annual Inspirations idea book, which goes LIVE September 1! Contact me to get your copy.

Here is another look at one of our NEW paper collections, Zoe. I made this card to celebrate our friend's little guy turning 3! He loves "working hard" with his toy trucks.


Now it's your turn to be inspired by our Workin' 9 to 5 theme at Heart2Heart!

This week at Heart2Heart our theme is Ticket to Ride. This challenge will be open for the rest of the month!
It was our third anniversary in July and I like to scrapbook a page for each year. Chris bought me a paddleboard this year and I absolutely love it! It has been my "ticket to ride" across the lake as much as I can this summer :).

I've got to say, there's no place I'd rather be than at the lake in the summertime. I have been spending as much time as possible at the lake this summer and on my new paddleboard! My grandparents have a summer cabin on Kootenay Lake and on one stormy morning, my aunt and I decided to can some green beans. You can get the recipe here.

I love using our chalkboard vinyl and chalk marker along with the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to make cute labels for my canning. I picked up some funky fabric from the Sugar Town Quilt Company and found some pinking shears a few cabins down and set to work. Life is good at the lake!

Now come on over and check out the inspiration we have for you today at Heart2Heart. Hope to see you in the gallery!
