Hearts again

Another card using my lovely hearts stamp 

this time with just the one image mounted onto a pretty doily

I used my silver pen to colour the hearts & again chalked the backgrounds

The center heart embellishment & inked red to make it stand out & again used the silver pen to tie it in

Anniversary Card

This is the Anniversary card that I made today

The hearts I made in a batch a while ago & were just perfect for this :-)

They are chipboard & covered with embossing powder.

I mounted them onto a square of bazil cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment onto the patterned paper 

& matted it onto the same bazil cardstock

This photo is a bit bleached out but I was rushing 

to catch the post so I can't redo it!

Magnolia Hearts & Flowers challenge

This is my entry for this weeks Magnolia challenge Hearts & Flowers.




I used my new Martha Stewart punch which is flowery :-) Even the sentiment echo's the heart theme :-)



I used this pretty stamp to echo the flower theme onto the background paper.

My Third Layout

This was done for a challenge at Sticky Fixers Craft Club. We had to include the word Passion or Passionate, 2 hearts & a button. Now passion/passionate usually brings to mind hearts & flowers & girly pink - but I went down a different route ...........................



The picture was taken in New Hampshire USA - a barrow of pumpkins & squash with such gorgeous colours & shapes. The leaves I bought in Michaels craft shop in Rhode Island & they were ideal for this layout - note to Calvin - they are not real :-) The colours of the leaves there in Autumn were gorgeous & I did investigate ways to preserve them but then found these wonderful substitutes. The buttons were from my stash of buttons - yes I used a few!
