This card is for Pinspired Challenge #21!

The cupcake is from the "A Chocolate Affair" stamp set from CTMH...I used markers to color the different sections, then cut it out.
The doily was cut using the Slice.
The sentiment and gemstones are from Studio G.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sympathy Tree Card

Not a really fun card to make...but sometimes it's needed...this one was for my boss, whose father passed away last week

The tree is from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge (CTMH). I outlined the leaves' shapes with different color markers and added some gemstones. I also colored the trunk in brown. Grass is a Fiskars border punch. Sentiment stamp is Wordsworth.

Update (11/22/13): I'm entering this card in the Rose Blossom Garden Challenge Blog Challenge #16: Fall Theme

Rosette Thank You Card

I made the rosette a while ago...I stamped the script (Hot Off the Press) on crepe paper and gathered it by hand.

Then I stamped the banner and the sentiment (CTMH), cut it out and adhered it on the rosette. Added a card base...and voilà!

The stamp set (Banner Wishes - B1438) is from the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide (view it HERE).
It will be available until December 31st. So if you like it, better get it while you can! =)

This card was inspired by the sketch #50 from CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge blog. I didn't have time to play, but when I saw the sketch, I knew exactly what I wanted to do...
But I'm entering this card in the Keep It Clean and Simple challenge (Simon Says Stamp)!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Update (11/19/13): I'm also entering this card in the Grateful for You challenge at H2H CTMH challenge blog.

Damask Divas Blog Hop: Huntington Pocket Album

Hello,
Welcome to the Damask Divas Blog Hop!

If you came from Latisha's Blog, you are in the right place.

If you have jumped here and just discovered our Blog Hop, feel free to check the list at the Damask Divas Blog to find the complete list of Blog Hop participants. 

We're featuring the Huntington Paper Collection this month. 

I love the autumn colors in it! And I had so many ideas for this Blog Hop: scrapbook layouts, cards, place cards, candle ring...you name it! But then, I decided to use this new Kraft Pocket Album from CTMH.

My family usually goes to an Apple Orchard every year. So, I thought I would slide the pictures in the pockets, and maybe some small ones outside the pockets plus some journaling and embellishments...just like what you would do with My Crush™ Books (an upcoming project).

For the Pocket Album, I actually used the "leftovers" from my Huntington WOTG Scrapbooking Kit. I completed the two 2-page layouts, and I was still left with lots of paper for future projects...

After I decided where I wanted the pieces of paper, I simply used Mod Podge® to adhere them on the cover. Then, I used my Cricut and the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut some embellishments (flourish and flowers) and added them to the cover. I also added the Bronze Shimmer Trim on the spine.

I'm still working on the inside...but here's a peek:
