When Words Fail Music Speaks

Thanks for stopping by my page. Today I am posting my first ever challenge. Thanks to the Heart2Heart Challenge "Old is New" I went into my stash of stuff and pulled out a Shadow Box Frame and Stamp set that I have had since 2013. It was one of those things that I bought at a Paper Crafting convention where I saw a really cool idea and thought "I can do that!" However,  by the time I got home and had time to actually do it. The inspiration was gone.  So with this challenge I pulled it out, found the sample again, when to my stash of CTMH papers and adapted it to my own. (This will actually hang in my music room which are the same colors as the the Yuletide Paper) Below is the finished project with links to the the supplies that I used.  Enjoy!

Supply List:

Darcie's Acrylic Shadow Box Frame Large *Unavailable
CTMH Exclusive Inks Ruby (inked Red Square), Desert Sand (Stamped Music Notes, Violin and Inked Around squares) and Black (When Words fail Music Speaks)
CTMH Twine (came with the Frosted Card Workshop on the Go) *Unavailable

Love Ya Silly Valentines

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. With Valentine's day coming up I was trying to think of cute valentines to make for a boy that wasn't to mushy. So I pulled out my stamps sets and decided on the Love Ya Silly set. Here's what I came up with...






Each card is 4x5 in size and then scored on the card front only 1/4 inch from each edge. Then simply choose whatever colors you like and stamp away. Below you will find a supply list as well as the stamp set I used. 

Here complete Love Ya Silly Stamp Set

My Acrylix Clear Blocks  1x1 and 2x2 
Stamp Sets: Love Ya Silly , For Always Card Making (Retired CTMH) *only used for heart

Halloween Pencil Toppers

It's not Halloween yet, but I couldn't wait to play with my new Halloween stamp set to make these cute pencil toppers and I figured if I started now I would have all the pencil toppers done in time for my daughters school Halloween party.
I got the idea for these from the current Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations book. To create them I used the Scaredy Cat Paper Packet, Colonial White Paper, Frightfully Fun Stamp set, and CTMH Exclusive Ink colors Black, Sunset and Smokey Plumb. The shapes were cut from the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge. These were fun to make and I can't wait to get some fun Halloween pencils to attach them to.

Happy Paper Crafting!
