A Re-Purposed Tray

This white tray with the red trim is a souvenir from someone's New York trip. It ended up in the kitchen at my work and was marked to be thrown away. A coworker gave me the idea to re purpose it with scrapbooking supplies.

On Thanksgiving my nephew and his wife asked me to take some photos. When I was looking through the photos I was inspired to create this. I will be giving it to her for her birthday next weekend!

My friend Jean introduced me to the beautiful products of Anna Griffin Designs so I made this for her birthday card. My favorite products are the flower stickers and the flocked paper.

Joyful Stars September 2016 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars September 2016 Blog Hop. This hop is a circle, so it doesn't matter if you are coming from from Nickie'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. The leader of the Joyful Stars team, Joyce, has the list of all our bloggers for the month. You may want to keep her blog open in a tab just in case you get lost along the way!

The only things I've been creating with Close To My Heart cardstock lately have been items for my classroom. Here are photos of my bulletin boards also using content from Cricut access. 

This bulletin board uses some glitter paper including the newest color: Sea Glass Glitter Paper!

Thanks for hopping along this month. Your next stop is Helen's blog.

Watercolor Thank You Card

It's been a long time between crafty projects! I needed some thank you cards and was inspired by a fellow Close To My Heart Consultant. The background was a smoosh technique with our watercolors. The sentiment "thanks" was easy to add because it is a thin cut!
