More Pretty Veranda Paper

I just love this paper! I love it so much that my whole workshop will be centered around it. Here's another peek at what we'll be making. I was inspired by this card by Mercy Kerin. I saw it way back before Christmas and kept the idea. It came in handy for this card. The stamp set I used was called True Friends and is the Close to My Heart stamp set of the month. The paper and ribbon all come from the Creative Basic Veranda Collection which is only $7.95 for the ribbon and the paper...6 sheets of two designs...both shown on this card. The paper under the frame is actually the back side of the paper with the ribbon so really you have four pattern choices. It's an amazing deal! Throw in a little chocolate paper and some pearl adhesives and you've got a pretty card. The paper makes it so easy to create adorable cards.

Yummy Paper

Ok, I couldn't stand it. I moved all of Joel's stuff aside so I could play with some new stuff I got before Christmas. Close to My Heart has a new catalog out and I'm loving all the new paper. This card was made with the Veranda Creative Basics Collection. I also added some paper from the original Veranda paper pack as well. The stamp set I used is called Endless Friendship. It's a set I've had a while and decided to get it out to play. Everything on this card is Close to My Heart except the lace edge punch. Stacy and I were shopping a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't resist the Martha Stewart lace edge punch. Let me know what you think :0)

Just a Quick Post

Here's a quick post to tell you why I've not been blogging. I have two college kids home and one of them lives in my office at the moment. You can see why no crafting is getting done here. Seriously though, I'm enjoying the break and enjoying all of my kids over Christmas break. I'll be back soon, I promise.

You are Close to My Heart,
