If you came from Scrapbooking with Cheryl then you are in the right place!

For my card, I featured Jeanette's Archived Stamp Set called Flowering Thanks.

The card is the standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 base. The sketch is from the Make it From Your Heart Volume 2, pattern 24. I used the Laughing Lola Paper Pack and added some topiary cardstock for the paper pieced leaves. All of my stamping was done using the Black StazOn Ink Pad.

The flowers were paper pieced & raised with 3 dimensional foam tape. The Mini-Medley Accents Black Collection made embellishing this card a breeze! I added some of the Grey Wool Bakers Twine from the Neutral Assortment simply by separating the grey strands from the white and threading my buttons with it.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Terry Ann of It's My Garage--I Can Craft In It!
If you get lost along the way, you can head to Michelle S Blog, My Creations with Michelle as she has the complete blog list.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to get creative using some of the designs, products and techniques seen along the way. Join us again in October when we will be featuring the Base and Bling line. We hope you will join us again on November 15th.

July Blog Hop~ Tags!!!

Welcome to the July Blog Hop : Art Philosophy style. We are a group of Close to my Heart consultants ) and will be showcasing Tag projects made using the card feature key from the very versatile Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. If you are visiting from Amanda's Blog then you are in the right place, if not, please go and start from the beginning at http://www.creatingwithcourtney.blogspot.com

Here is what I came up with:

This card has a cute little pocket that contains 3 tags that can be used as book marks.

I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut out the card bases, one in Sunset & another in Colonial White. I added a piece of Lagoon cardstock between the layers before attaching them together so the dragonfly stands out as well as a piece of Colonial White ribbon to secure it closed.

I cut 3 tags in various sizes and decorated with Stella Paper, Stella Zip Strips, Irresistibles Persnickety Journaling Spots, Color Ready Garden Wood Shapes, Life is Tweet Stamp Set & Paradise Baker's Twine.
