Snowflakes and Clear Cards!

You Are One Of A Kind! I used the Ice Crystals stamp set for this card. I random stamped the background and added glitter to all of the snowflakes. Did you know that Close To My Heart sells CLEAR CARDS? They come in different shapes and sizes. They are so much fun! I was able to run the front of my card through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder...adding so much COOL texture!!!

Thankful For You

It has been a long time since I have posted any new artwork. My heart broke on Oct 29 when my 42 year old brother suddenly passed away from a massive heart attack. So as you can guess, my mind has been elsewhere and my creative side has been at rest.
I was getting ready for bed this evening and, for some reason, went down to my craft room. I found this stamp that I had bought during a recent trip to Red Deer. I was compeled to stamp it and see how nice the image was. Next thing I knew, something came over me and out came the blending pen and Close To My Heart inks! It only took me about 20 minutes to make this card, but I feel so good about it! Maybe that little part of me is creeping back! So don't give up on me!!!!
Love, Carla
Main stamp image is a Sara King stamp, all other products are Close To My Heart.

Halloween Cards




I used Splendor Level 2 paper pack for this layout. The photos are so much fun....my 10 year old daughter caught a big jackfish with her pink Barbie fishing rod!

Magnifique!

Here are a couple of FUN layouts using a new level 2 paper pack from Close To My Heart. It's called MAGNIFIQUE! I stamped the title and colored the Just Blooms paper flowers with coordinating ink.
This layout uses a sketch from the new MAGIC Scrapbook program! It's full of interactive ideas for your layouts. Check out my menu on the left side of my layout.
