Thanks. - AHSC 408

Hello! Today I have a card I made for my monthly workshop using the Happiness Lives here. I am sad to say that due to COVID regulations in my area that I am still forced to do porch drop offs and not have my workshops in my home where we can all get together and have a good time together...soon, hopefully soon!

Until then, here is one of the cards I prepped and sent to my workshop participants homes, everything is cut and pre-stamped for them, so really all they have to do is assemble the cards. 

Products Used:

Paper:

- Happiness Lives Here with Sticker sheet

- Peach, Sage and White Daisy card stock

Stamp:

-S2101 Every Thank you

Thin Cuts

- Stitched Scalloped Brackets

Embellishments:

- Black Dots

WOW - H2H Challenges

This week we have a new challenge for you at Heart 2 Heart Challenges (H2H). This week is all about From Me to You. It could be a project that features the CTMH Stamp of the Month called From me to you (S1908) or it could just be a card you made to send to someone, a gift you have someone, anything as long as it is from you. 

For this one, I made a congratulations card. I used the Craft On paper as this was also for my workshop. I really loved the soft mint paired with the black, they just really popped together, black is usually not a go to colour for me but with this paper pack it really was. 

Products Used:

Paper:
- Craft On
- Mint, Black, and White Daisy

Stamp:
- 1908 From Me to You

Ink:
- Black and Mint

Embellishments:

I love crafting! - H2H Challenges

I love crafting, that is no secret but so do my 3 girls, they were born with Glitter in their vains...no joke! And my girls also have some pretty severe anxiety around change and transitions and such, with school starting in just over a week for us here in my neck of the woods anxiety is at an all time high and my youngest struggles the most so this week has not been a good week for her, with anxiety comes some struggles but she was having a really good evening and I wanted to reward her efforts and what better way than to sweat out some glitter....he he he I let her make this card for today's challenge so it is a bit simple and she did get some direction and advise but the stamping, cutting and gluing are all her...and I will add she is 8 years old. So without further ado...here is the card that my 8 year old made for the I love crafting challenge at H2H challenges....

Products used:

Paper:

- Raspberry, White Daisy, and Bashful Glitter paper

- Documented

Stamp:

- S1808 - For the love of Crafting

Ink:

Charcoal and Eggpant

Embellishments:

- Clear Sparkles

- Z3038 Junebug puffies (retired, long long retired)

We would love to see what you come up with for this challenge, hope on over to H2H Challenges and join us!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting, until next time...happy crafting!
