Thank you Pears - AHSC 671

Hi! This week, I have been playing with the beautiful Painterly Pears DSP. I have had it for a while, but have not had the time to cut into it until now. You will see more of this one as it is the first of my Kit of the Month classes. I absolutely love this paper. I did not "need," and I held off for a long time on getting it, and I am glad I did, it made the perfect paper for my first Kit of the Month club.

Thanks so Very Much - AHSC 662

Hello! 

I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season and is getting some time to rest and recharge as we head into the new year! I got some time to play in my craft room today, so that made me happy. 

I decided to pull out the Floral Impressions papers I have and play with that for today's sketch. I love Christmas, but I have been working on Christmas projects since the end of September, so I am so ready for the change to more colours and options in what I create with.

Thankful - AHSC #651

Happy Thanksgiving to those in Canada today! I hope you had an opportunity to spend time with family today. 

For today's card, I cut up the September Paper Pumpkin kit and created my own cards with the supplies. I love playing with the supplies to create even more great cards by cutting the pieces differently to create even more.

May Thanks - PP Fall for Toile- AHSC 649

Hello! I am back, and today I am playing with the September Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! I like to experiment with it a bit and create my own cards using the contents. I cut the card bases in half to double what I can get out of the kits and bring in some fall-themed stamps from my stash! This is the Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin. 

I did take some creative license by adding the circle to add my sentiment. The background was dark, so the circle allowed the sentimet to stand out more.

You're Simply Incredible - AHSC #647

Good Morning!

I am back with another card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This sketch is great for making a quick, easy card that looks fabulous. 

For this card, I pulled out some leftover paper from the Toadstool Gardens paper pack. I used the You Are Remarkable stamp set. I just love this flower, and the sentiments that are in this stamp set are so great; it is one of my all-time favourites.

Hi There - AHSC 646

Hello! I am back, still trying to get back into the back-to-school routine with 2 in High School at different high schools, they keep me hopping for sure! 

So I was doing some cleaning and came across a very old paper pack from my CTMH days called Tickled Pink, and I had so little left, not enough for a layout, but I could get a few cards out of it, so I got playing, and this is one of the cards I came up with for some of the smaller scraps.

Hello Spring - Happy Birthday

Good morning! I am back with another card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC). I created this card using the Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin card kit. I love receiving the kits for easy cards, but I always find that I do my own thing with them rather than making the cards they design.

Birthday Bike - AHSC 637

This week, I have a card that is a bit of a departure for me. I am not the best with masculine cards; it is my kryptonite! But from time to time, I need to make one, and my recent card order had several requests for masculine cards. My customer helped by filling me on the hobbies of everyone so I could customize the cards to them, and this particular card was made for someone whose favourite colour is red and loves cycling. 

For the cyclist, I used a Cricut cut, and the papers are retired CTMH. I believe the paper was Summer Vibes and the cardstock is Candy Apple.  The sentiment is from 164963 - Day to Celebrate from the 2025 Sale-a-Bration brochure.

This week I took the Paper Pumpkin kit and switched things up and did my own thing with the kit. The only thing that is not from the Paper Pumpkin kit is I used Pecan Pie ink. Everything else is from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Thinking of You - Hillside Cottage - AHSC 579

Hello, Happy Monday! Today's card for AHSC is from the retired CTMH Hillside Cottage collection. This collection seemed a perfect fit for this patchwork type of card. I combined it with the Flowers of Beauty stamp and die cuts from Stampin Up. I used Canary, New England Ivy, Flamingo, and Blue Belle from CTMH for the stamped images.
