Watercolor Backgrounds

Water coloring is a huge trend right now. A few months ago I purchased the Mulberry font and there was a set of water color flower png files included. I used Design Space to print and cut a few flowers and leaves. Recently I came across that envelope of "card candy" and decided to make a couple of cards. To keep with the water color theme I cut some water color paper and randomly painted and splattered color. I love the way these cards turned out. I can't wait to grab my paints to do more!

Punny Thank You Cards

I love the print and cut feature with the Cricut Explore. Awhile back I was looking through the Cricut content that is part of the subscription and found the "Merci BEAR coup" and "MOO chas gracias" sayings.  All I needed to do is layer some paper and add shimmer trim for these quick and easy thank you cards.

Joyful Stars March Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars March 2016 Blog Hop! On the 10th of each month a group of Close To My Heart consultants and friends share artwork using some of our favorite products. This hop is a circle, so it doesn't matter if you are coming from Marie's blog or if you start here on my blog. Just continue around until you're back at the blog you started on to make sure you see all the fabulous projects.

This month's featured paper collection is Penelope. I love the bright, spring like colors. I recently attended a crop and took the The Workshop Your Way Kit (pictured above).  I made all three traditional two page layouts and the cards. Just today I printed out some photos to put on this layout titled "Spring is Here". Yes the days are getting longer (and sunnier), the robins have returned, and the crocuses are blooming! 

Thanks for hopping along this month. Your next stop is Stephanie's blog. Just in case you get lost or experience a technical difficulty, you might want to keep Joyce's blog open in a separate tab, as she has a full list of participants.
