So Blessed

Here are a couple of my creations using Blessed, Close to my Heart's Stamp of the Month for April.  These are beautiful stamps to overlap, such as with the butterfly in this card:

The outline is stamped in Chocolate and the interior is stamped in Sweet Leaf.  The papers used are from the Miracle collection.  The card below uses the same technique for the flower.

You can get the stamp set and papers here.

Give a Miracle

These are two of the cards I made from the Miracle Workshop on the Go Kit.

The pinwheels were fun and simple to make.  The Miracle WOTG Kit includes a full stamp set.  Two of the stamps are squares with marks for cutting to make the pinwheels.  Really, any square works, just cut from each corner towards the center, stopping 3/4 of the way from the corner to the center.

After making your cuts, fold each corner towards the center and glue it in place.  Place a button, brad, or other circle (I cut a circle from my kraft border) at the center and voila!  Pinwheels!

Friday Night Scrappers

Friday Night Scrappers is moving to the 3rd Friday of each month.  As always, you may bring your own projects to work on or create a layout or cards using the featured Workshop on the Go.  On March 18th, we will be using the Miracle Workshop on the Go.  You have 2 choices for ordering the workshop on the go:

1. Order the Miracle Workshop on the Go Kit that includes the Miracle Level 2 Paper Pack, Miracle Stamp Set and Kraft Borders.

2. Order the Miracle Level 2 Paper Pack and Kraft Borders.  You may use my stamp set at the crop night.

If you'd like to save on the shipping cost, email me with your order and I will order the supplies for you and they will be available for pickup at the crop night.  I will be placing my order on March 11th.

Below are photos of the layout and the cards you can make using this kit.  Instructions are included to make additional cards and a second layout.

Do You Need a Miracle?

Try the new serene Miracle paper kits from Close to my Heart.  With the peaceful blues and greens and splashes of yellows, this paper pack is versatile enough for most of your layouts or cards.  I especially love the flowers that remind me of pinwheels.  You can get your own Miracle on February 1st here.
