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. 

Products Used: (all products Stampin’ Up! Unless otherwise noted)

Your in my Thoughts - AHSC #576

Wow, we are in May already, January and February seemed so long but since then time seems to be flying and boom, we are in May! I have the first of the May sketches for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for you today. Since the closure of Close to My Heart, I am working on a bit of stash busting so I pulled out the Hillside Cottage papers to pair with my new Flowers of Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I have decided to take the leap of faith and join Stampin' Up!, they gave us an incredible offer to join and have been so good to us. It still feels so unreal to me, a definite loss but I am excited about what the future with Stampin' Up! looks like. The ink colours I chose are all now retired CTMH colours of Blue Belle, Canary, Espresso, and New England Ivy.

Time to celebrate...AHSC 562

 Hello! I am back with another card, two weeks in a row! I still need to get more consistent but I am getting there for sure!  This week I have a stash busting card for you for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge. I used the retired Stitched Together papers, bracket frame thin cut and silver embellishing thread, all retired on this card. The stamp set CC9237 It's Your Birthday Stamp + Thin Cuts is the only current product. It is a simple card, but it is true to the sketch!

Paper Hug - AHSC 384

The card I am sharing today came as a special request from my fabulous mother in law. Due to COVID she has not been out shopping much or getting to see her friends and I offered up some of my many cards that I have laying around to help her keep in touch with friends and since she refuses to do unnecessary trips to stores so I loaded her up on birthday cards for her friends and family members. One of the cards I dropped off with her was one I did years ago that was one of the Operation Smile sets and it had a sentiment that said, "This card is a paper hug" and she loved that sentiment and specifically requested more cards with that sentiment...so you will be seeing it more and more over the next few posts!

Since I was using an older stamp I decided to try to use up some scraps and I pulled out one of my favourite paper packs, Dreamin Big. I I love the colours in this paper pack and I know my mother in law will love the colours too!

Products Used:

Paper:

- Dreamin Big (retired)

- Poppy (retired), Black, and White Daisy

Stamps:

- D1815 Bunches of Love (retired)

- D1711 True Love (retired) 

Ink:

- Black

Embellishments:

- Black and White Dots
