Faithful, Loyal, and Constant & CHA Favorites

Hello everyone! I'm back with another 12 x 12 layout and a few of my CHA favorites which you will find below. This layout took a little longer then I thought because of all the stitching. I was looking through my Close To My Heart Paper stash and came across these two patterned papers. I loved the colors and thought it would be perfect for a multi. colored grid pattern. To start I added the colored squares in the color sequence I wanted and then stitched between the squares to create the grid. After I had the grid pattern stitched I went ahead and stitched around the edges of my layout. Form there the rest was pretty easy, I added my matted photo along with the sentiment, flower and swirls. For a closer look check out the close ups below!

A Home Is Not A Home Without A Dog

Hello everyone! Today I have another 12 x12 layout of Lexis to share! I used another 70's style photo for this layout, I just love this photo of Lexis. I went with purple and blues for this layout to bring out her bright blue eyes and purple collar that are in the photo.

Pookie

Hello everyone today I have another 12 x 12 layout to share. I wanted the layout to be clean and simple so I only used one photo and created a banner at the top. After I had the photo and the banner done I added a few splatter marks around the photo and added a few mini crystal gemstones. See the “splatter marks?”   If you are like me and want more control of the splatters, especially when your photos are already adhered, try this: take a Re-Inker and lightly touch it to your cardstock. For a little splatter lightly squeeze the Re-Inker before touching it to the cardstock and for a bigger splatter squeeze the Re-Inker a little harder.

Supplies: Cardstock- Die Cuts With A View White & Black / Alphabet Stamps- CTMH / Ink Pad & Re-Inker- CTMH Black / Embossing Folder- Swiss Dots / Pink Tissue Paper / White Clear Vellum with Glitter / Sulky Thread- Pink / Mini Crystal Gemstones- CTMH

Christmas Greetings & Pumpkin Spice DT Call

Hello everyone! Today I have two Christmas cards to share. Both of them use the same Snowman stamp and layout but I made them slightly different by using a different color combo, border punches, and sentiment stamps. I made these two cards for Pumpkin Spice's DT Call. The challenge is any theme, any color, and any thing that makes you smile. This cute little snowman always makes me smile when I pull it out so I thought I would use it on both cards. You can check out all the DT details HERE.
