Autumn/Winter Idea Book Blog Hop

Hold on to your hats, because you are going to be blown away by all of the great new things available in the Close To My Heart Autumn/Winter Idea Book!  Some of my favorite consultant friends and I have teamed up to share our new goodies with you in this blog hop.  (If you've already started hopping, then you've probably arrived from Vicki's blog.  After you check out what I've got for you, click to visit Michelle next.)

The Laughing Lola paper pack is my current favorite from the new Idea Book (although I know I am going to fall in love with more of them as I use them!), and when paired with the NEW Paisley Perfect stamp set, I can't help but think of my girls.  I can't wait to find the perfect picture of them to add to this layout!

To create it, I cut the photo mat and the sentiment frame with my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  I used Black, Gypsy, Bamboo, and Crystal Blue inks for my stamping.  For embellishments, I used the new Black Mini Medley collection, Sparkles Flourishes, lots of black, white, blue, and purple Sparkles, and a strip of Lagoon Washi tape.  Too bad you can't see the glitter on the black button very well!

While I had my supplies out, I created this quick thank you card (with the addition of the Card Word Puzzle stamp set), using a sketch from Make It From Your Heart, Vol. 1.

Thanks for joining me!  I'm linking these projects up to the Color My Heart Laughing Lola color dare.

Now check out Michelle's inspiration next.
