I checked out the Heart 2 Heart blog and saw this challenge and thought I would play along.  Sifting through my stash of paper and found the super adorable Cherry-O paper and started cutting away.

One of a Kind

This is my first time participating in a Papertrey Ink challenge.  When I saw the inspiration photo, I had to put something together.  The colors just are gorgeous...LOVE IT!!

I was inspired by the colors first of all, but I wanted to incorporate the window seat too.  So, I dug through all of my stamps and found the CTMH stamp set, Chairs To You, and voila...my card was complete.  I thought I would I should hop on over to the Mojo Monday blog and see what the sketch challenge was for the week and put both of the challenges together.

I used some older Close To My Heart paper.  Slowly getting old paper used up.  The new CTMH Idea Book is coming out in August, so I need to make some room for more paper and accessories.  The new stuff is amazing...as usual!  I can't wait to play with it!

July Hostess Club Layout

A quick post to show off the layout I made for my Hostess Club members this month.  Paper flowers are the "it" thing in scrapbooking right now, so my club members requested to learn how to make some.  I had to make one that would lay somewhat flat in a scrapbook.  I hope my wonderful ladies like what I put together!!

Mojo Monday 198

I have been in a little bit of a funk.  I have not had a lot of motivation to craft, but I do like to try and enter the Mojo Monday contest at the beginning of the month.  I put together this very simple card and will probably add it to a collection of cards and things for my Hostess for this month.  Simple and sweet...sometimes those are the best cards!
