Welcome Everyone!

Today is the day for hopping! Hopefully you arrived from Lisa’s Blog. We have about 50 consultants sharing their artwork with you for the March Stamp of the Month. I’ve seen some beautiful work done with it!

Unfortunately, I have not had any time to be able to play with this stamp set.

This wonderful card was made by Wendy Coffman, and you can find it (and other cards & items made with the stamp set) on her blog.

Isn’t it gorgeous??

I can’t wait to make one just like it!

Your next stop is over at Gina’s blog.

I hope you have a crafty day!!

I do still have a few spots available at my Crafty Retreat at the Beach! Let me know if you would be interested!

Welcome to our February Art Philosophy/Artiste Blog Hop! As you know, these cartridges are available exclusively through a Close to My Heart consultant. If you don’t already have a Consultant that you are currently working with, please contact me with any questions you have!

Our theme this month features not only one of these amazing cartridges but also a brand NEW paper pack from Close to My Heart – “For Always”. In this hop, you will see projects featuring one (or both!) of our versatile Cricut cartridges with this paper pack from many talented crafty ladies! Enjoy our blog hop!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Lucy’s blog – Love 2 Create. If you came from Stephanie-The Quilted Scrapper then you are in the right place!

My card is a fairly simple card today! I just cut a number of the fluer de lis from the Art Philosophy cartridge and the congrats from the Artiste cartridge. I used our fabulous Liquid Glass to keep them secure, and then just went around the outside of the card a couple of times with an everyday household black pen.

Your next stop on our “For Always” hop is Ellen ~ CardMonkey’s Paper Jungle.

Today I am sharing one of my “Hottie” cards. It was part of the Valentine workshop that I did. This class was so fun!

I’ve used the For Always paper pack which is a beautiful set of black and white papers. They pair perfectly with any other color! I’ve also used Black and White Daisy Cardstock, White Daisy pigment ink, Black archival ink, Seam Binding, and the Keepsake Alphabet set.

Here is a sneak peek at the Claire workshop that I will be hosting! More photos (larger) will be coming soon, so make sure to check back for those!

Now, as you hop on, you will go to Nikka’s Blog. If you get lost along the way, Helen has the whole list up on her blog.

See you soon!
