Because I just couldn't resist making a fall card, here is a plantable card I made up with a fall wreath! This card uses an older Close To My Heart stamp set. I was looking back at some old photos and thought it would be fun to take it out again. 

It's back-to-school in BC this week and I'm feeling for all of my teacher friends and colleagues during this uncertain time. Our nephew is starting kindergarten this fall so I wanted to make him a special card to go along with the book we got him - The Pigeon HAS to go to School by Mo Williams (read this book - it's hilarious!). 

 Close To My Heart has launched a new core catalogue and fall mini-catalogue this month! Included are these beautiful sunflower papers that I just had to create with. I decided to make a card for a good friend of mine as she heads back into the school year. I am linking up with the "anything goes" challenge over at Heart2Heart.

These forest inspired thank you cards came together as part of a set of cards I am putting together using a rustic modern adventure theme. I love the simplicity of them on this beautiful heavyweight cardstock. I am linking up with the "adventure awaits" challenge over at Heart2Heart.

I decided to make up some Mother's Day tags for the shoppe and of course I couldn't resist doing some watercolour with these sweet peas. The spring mood board over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge has so many spring feels one cannot help but be inspired! I used my favourite Simon Says Stamp tag die and topped these tags off with some gingham ribbon. Watercolouring definitely makes me happy so I am also linking up with the "happy times" challenge over at Heart2Heart. These gorgeous flowers were arranged by our local florists at MJ's Florals and the lovely Vancouver Candle Co. candle can be found at Lane and Meadow along with these tags!

Here is a card I put together using the colour inspiration from Lawn Fawnatics and some distress oxide inks! I love this fancy square die set from Studio Katia and decided to turn it on its side after being inspired by an example on their site by Design Team member Galina. This definitely makes me want to do some more ink blending again soon! I coloured up my little hedgehogs with Tombow markers. I am also linking up with the Heart2Heart "I Heart Us" challenge.

The weekend has arrived and this card makes me think of TGIF! This paper is from my favourite paper collection at Close To My Heart right now. It just screams fall to me! I made this card for my brother-in-law's birthday this month. I'm linking up with the "banner day" challenge over at Heart2Heart. I'm really enjoying painting with my distress inks. I used hickory smoke and wild honey to colour the beer and then used salty ocean to give some colour and dimension to the glass mug and to help the mug pop from the background.

Working with some ink blending I had done awhile ago, I decided to cut out some hearts. I needed a baby card and decided to create the sentiment "Happiness is You" using an awesome Verve stamp set and the Simon Says Stamp 'you' die. I used the Freshly Made Sketches layout and incorporated some vellum to play along with Heart2Heart.

Here is the card design I created to celebrate Mother's Day this year. I was stoked to find some of this older Close To My Heart paper collection that was a favourite of mine and then to use it with this beautiful quilt die. I am linking up with the Mother's Day challenge over at Heart2Heart.
