CTMH Base and Bling

Good afternoon crafty friends! Hope y'alls weekend is going
fabulously! So I just received by box of brand new Close To My Heart
goodies from the new Spring/Summer idea book! I was
so excited when the door bell rang at noon! Knew it was the
mailman! I gave him a big wave when I pick it up off the porch!
He probably thought I was weird...
Anywho... Even though I was busy getting cupcakes made
for my nieces birthday party that's here in a bit I had to crack
that box open! I also decided real quick i would put together one
of the new base and bling necklaces! Love it so much!
So many options with these! Loved how my first one turned out!
These new products will be available for purchase February 1st!

VLV and CTMH with For Always

Good morning crafty friends! Hope y'all are having
a great week so far! Mine's going well! We have had
some folks put in applications for our rent house! Hopefully 
we can decided on someone over the weekend and get
a contract signed! Then on Sunday, we are going to 
look at a house for sale that I absolutely adore!
I hope we can buy it! Did I mention I will get my own 
craft room?! I'm so excited! And the hubs of course
will get a fab man cave that I am already designing for him
with fabulous finds from Ikea! No better place
for awesome office furniture!

Anyways... I wanted to share a quick card before I
head off to work. For this card I used the January week 2
sketch from Viva la Verve. I used paper from 
Close To My Heart's For Always pack which is now retired.
So sad, I just love black and white!
 The base of the card is the smokey plum as well as 
the honeycomb embossed portion (a Darice folder).
 I stamped the cake and bride and groom from the Happy Couple 
stamp set in black ink and cut them out. I used a Nestabilities
die for the slate scalloped circle and the circle with
the For Always paper. The sentiment is from Verve.

Close To My Heart's retiring paper Huntington. I love it!

having a great weekend so far! My plans have
changed a bit since yesterday... Cleaning the rent house
