I did get some Mother's Day cards made, although a little late, I admit. The moms didn't mind, as long as they got a phone call and a card in the mail at some point! You have to love moms! 

 

 

I used the Ivy Lane Papers and the Ariana papers. Letters are Hopscotch Alphabet, Flamingo Dots for accents. Frame Flair and Cricut Art Philosphy were used for the shapes.

 

These are simple cards, and honestly, so simple to make! I used the Make It From Your Heart vol.2 for the card sketch, which includes all paper measurements. Talk about making things easy! I love this How-To Program, it features 16 two-page layout patterns, 2 single-page patterns, as well as 12 different card patterns which makes my life very easy! I get a lot more accomplished these days with this!

 

TFL, come back soon and happy crafting!

Welcome Back!

 

I can't believe it's been two months since my last post! How does time get away from us so quickly?

 

I apologize to my followers for not keeping up, but sometimes things just have to give to maintain a little sanity! I am going to try to post at least every two weeks if I can't get to it every week.

 

So, what have I been up to? On top of working a Big Girl job and a second part time job to sustain my crafting habits, I've been working at CTMH and doing a little creating when I can.

 

I've also been setting up a fundraiser for an amazing foundation, the Gabrielle Dinsmore Heart and Hope Fund, an organization that is dear to my family.

 

 



If you have ever considered ordering from CTMH, now is a great time! All of my proceeds for this gathering will be donated to this foundation. The foundation assists children and families with heart defects, helping send them to camp and giving them valuable resources. Please go to www.tamarac.ctmh.com to order.

This is a fundraiser that I am doing, not CTMH, so please order through me under the Gabrielle Dinsmore gathering. Verify you are part of this gathering by looking at the lower right hand corner of the main screen. If it says 'leave' you are already signed into the gathering.

 

I have also been getting a little creative lately!

Here are a few things I've come up with over the last few weeks.

 

 

 

Made with Laughing Lola papers, Live In The Moment stamp from the Skylark Workshop on the Go with black epoxy bubbles and flamingo dots.

 

 

Believe In Yourself made with the Skylark papers, Believe In Yourself stamp set and clear epoxy bubbles.

 

 

Thank you card made with Skylark papers (can you tell I love this paper line?), February Stamp of the Month (fox), and the Chevron and Striped embossing folders.

 

 

I definitely have more to share with you and will post more soon!

 

TFL!!
