Heart (Artful Delight)

I finally had a chance to sit down with my January kit from Artful Delight today and do some creating! Let me just tell you, this kit is awesome!! As soon as I saw what was in it, I knew I'd have alot of fun because seriously, tell me what mommy of two sweet girls wouldn't love all this PINK??

How fabulous is that?? The papers are gorgeous and all of the embellishments go along with them perfectly. :) We also have another amazing sketch this month, which I used to create this layout of my baby girl on the day she was born...

Cardabilities Reveal #18

Goooooood morning!!! I hope everyone is having an amazing Thursday so far. I am still shocked that we only have 2 days left in the year! It's crazy how fast time can pass isn't it? Hopefully 2011 will go by a little bit slower. ;)

Today is reveal day for sketch #18 over at Cardabilities and it's another great one! Karan really amazes me with all the wonderful sketch ideas she comes up with...






Supplies: Cosmo Cricket Paper Pad - Mitten Weather; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Fired Brick; Close To My Heart Stamp; Cuttlebug; Quickutz Sunburst Die (For Banner); Martha Stewart Heart Border Punch; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; Twine

My card turned out to be very monochromatic this time around. Kind of different for me, but I really like the look of it. I'm thinking it might be something I try more of soon...

Make sure you stop by the Cardabilities blog today and see the other DT cards...everyone really made the sketch their own. Oh, and make sure you stop by in January too because we have an amazing month coming up!! ;)

Is this cute or what? (Artful Delight)

Hello there! I wanted to share a quick project I did last week with the Artful Delight December Kit. I needed a small gift for my sister for Christmas so I decided to alter a picture frame for her desk at work. I used this great picture of her and her honey and I think it turned out great! She really loved it...

Supplies Used From The Artful Delight December Kit: Echo Park Wintertime Paper - Stripes

Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Red Rock; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Cuttlebug; Cuttlebug Heart Die; Fiskars Heart Punch; Papertrey Ink Button; Twine; Recollections Pearls

Isn't that cute?? I guess I wouldn't really call it altering a picture frame since it's really just a clear frame that I embellished, but you get the picture, right? ;) The best part about this was how easy it was to do! The entire thing took me about 25 minutes and cost about $1. Can't beat that!

I'm sorry to say that the December kit is sold out but hopefully you'll still be inspired to try something like this yourself. It's alot of fun! :) Thanks for stopping by today...

Look what I got for Christmas!

Six inches of snow!! It's absolutely beautiful...

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas also! :)
