Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop

This is the last Tuesday of the month and the day for the monthly Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop.  I love creating with Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies.  There are just so many possibilities!  If you arrived here from Carla's blog then you are on the right track.  If not, you will want to start at the beginning with Olga's blog so you don't miss any of these beautiful creations!

My card base is Neenah Solar White as well as my embellishments made with Spellbinder's Parisian Motifs and Heartfelt Creations HDC 702 die.   I stamped my image  with Adirondack Pitch Black ink using Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3365 Decorative Vintage Cross PreCut Set.   I used  Copic Markers BG70, C1, E41, YG95 and YR30.  My card front was cut using Spellbinder's Grand Ovals and a recessed window technique.

Thanks for visiting!  Your next stop on the hop is Clare's blog and she has a gorgeous creation to share with you!  Be sure to leave a comment on every blog you visit while you're hopping because one randomly chosen commenter will win a $25 gift certificate to shop at Heartfelt Creations.  You have until Friday, March 3rd at midnight EST to leave your comments.  The winner will be announced Saturday, March 4th at noon.

Walking in Sunshine

Well, I'm definitely not walking in sunshine today, just the opposite here in the not so sunny South.  Thankfully the strong winds have subsided and we're not treading water or shoveling snow!  My little cutie today is "Rose's Garden" from Stampavie.  The fabulous sentiment is from Create with TLC's "Encore" collection:

I colored Rose with Copic markers and cut an oval doily with my Cricut.  The design paper is from Basic Gray and the lace is from my stash.  Also, almost forgot to add that Rose's shirt is paper pieced from the design paper pattern.

Have a happy Monday and thanks for visiting!  I love reading your comments and appreciate all your support.

Just Dream

Well, my part of the Carolinas was spared all the snow that fell this weekend.  I've been watching the weather channels and reading on Facebook about all the snowfall.  Living close to the coast, we receive more rain than snow.  Yesterday was just the perfect day to stay indoors and stay snuggly warm and dry.  I only ventured outside to go to church and feed my dog later in the day.  She is a lab and thought the weather was perfect!  I did not even make it to my craft room!  I was hypnotized by a movie on TV and my nice comfy couch.

Today I have another Create with TLC creation to show you, "Dream".  This is in the set "Comfort Dream Success".

I used a Sizzix A2 embossing folder and one of the smaller folders in the set to create the backdrop for my sentiment.  I sponged distress ink on the small folder before embossing and then trimmed it before adhering to my card.  The ruffled ribbon is from The Ribbon Retreat.  I used just a touch of Copics for my image.  This would be a quick card to create and could be used lots of ways.
