More Cleanup - More Cards!

I am persevering with trying to complete projects that have already been started. These cards were part of the class I did with Kelly Panacci at Scrapfest a couple of weeks back. They are different than I would normally make, but I think I like them especially the little hedge hog...

Spring Cards

With all the sunshine we have been having, it really does feel like spring...  I went to a card-making session at my friend Jan's place a while back.  She is also a CTMH independent consultant and she was showing how to take a Level 1 paper packet and create a set of quick and easy cards instead of doing up layouts.  I used an old paper packet Best Friends Forever and a few embellishments.  Who wouldn't like to receive one of these on their birthday?  Scrap Happy...

Playing Around

I had taken these photos to Scrapfest as one of the projects I wanted to work on.  How surprised was I when I opened my goodie bag to find the perfect papers!  It took a little help from my friend Anne to complete but I have to say I am quite pleased with the outcome.  Enjoy your day and scrap happy!

Workshop on the Go - Veranda

I finally got around to completing the layout for the Workshop on the Go for the Veranda paperpack.  I am always surprised by how easy it is to find complimentary pictures.  I changed the size of the left picture and left out the stamping in the lower right (replaced with flower) but I think it is still well balanced.  I love the simple lines of this layout.  Have a terrific Wednesday!

Scrapfest !

I attended Scrapfest in Kitchener this past weekend - for those who do not know, this is a 2-day crop with a  marketplace and classes - if you have the opportunity to attend something like this - DO!!!  I met up with a friend and one of her friends and we all met a new friend and had a wonderful, wonderful time.  I did a couple of classes, one with Vicki Boutin - "Easy, Detailed, Expert"  and these are the layouts I made at the class.  I promise I will repost once I have added my pictures but they were too pretty to wait!  For those who are interested there will also be a fall Scrapfest in Oshawa this year.  Do check it out.

My First Challenge!

Heart 2 Heart Challenges is a new blog sponsored and created by independent consultants for Close to My Heart and I have chosen to submit my first effort to their inaugural challenge!  I am very excited about this and chose to create from my heart rather than from a pattern or something I have seen.  I hope everyone likes it!!  The challenge asked that you use the CTMH colours Sweet Leaf, Sunflower, and Chocolate.  I also used CTMH Craft Buttons, Just Blooms, Organza Ribbon and the Felicty Stamp Set (D1418).  Thanks for taking a peek.

Happy Easter!

Last Saturday I attended a crop for Heart and Stroke in Newmarket and one of the make and takes was this most adorable bunny card which I have just completed.  It is my first attempt at using a water brush with my inks and I don't think it turned out half bad.  At least my grandson won't notice where I messed up!!  Please check out Jan Moxey's original card along with a just ducky one.  Happy Scrapping...
