Mixin' with my brand!

Ok so, uh um, you see I was in Colorado Springs where there's an Archivers and it was my first time and all....it just kind of happened :) 

Ya, ya, ya I deviated again and brought home a few alien products but they all go so well with my CTMH stuff though, don't you think?  

Here's what I used:

October Afternoon Sidewalks Tin Pins & Wagon Train; the blue paper...don't ask me how they came up with that name for this paper :o/

Close to My Heart:
Honey Card Stock and Ink
White Daisy Card Stock
Olive Ink
Twilight Ink
Stamp Sets:  
     Art Philosophy (Happy Birthday!)
     Flirty Workshop on the Go Set (Leaves & Flower)
     Hooray Bouquet (May this be your grandest year yet) Spring/Summer 2012 Catalog, still available

Michaels Ribbon

Ink It Up! Enjoy!

Pears & Partridge Workshop on the Go #2

Ok, so can you tell that I got in a Pear & Partridge mood??  Here's another layout using the P & P WOTG, all I added was the Festive Velvet Rub-Ons.  

Pears & Partridge Workshop on the Go

SURPRISE!  I said I would show you something every other day but I just couldn't wait to show you this layout.  I used the Close to My Heart Pear & Partridge Workshop on the Go.  It includes the ever so lovely Pear & Partridge Glittery Rub-Ons.  This is made following the included instructions verbatim.  I think (?) my favorite part is the way they show using the snowflake and border stamps (included also) to make a two color stamped border that's quite classy.

Flirty Paper and Autumn Lane Assortment

Well it HAS been a WHILE, a LONG while!!  I had planned on posting during my 2 week visit to see my daughter and her little fam in Co. Springs, but totally forgot that I had already uploaded pics to do it.  So....I think I'll just treat you to every-other-day posts for a week or so - sound good?  

Here's the layout that my clubs are doing in October for their November pics.  I actually ended up making the New England Ivy focal photo mat 5.5 x 7.5 instead so it would be perfect for a 5 x 7 photo, I think it turned out really well, I'll show you one with pics real soon.  

For this I used the following CTMH products:

Flirty Paper Pack
Autumn Lane Assortment
Harvest Baker's Twine
Family Tree Stamp Set 
Flirty Workshop on the Go Stamp Set ( I LOVE the saying)
Make It From Your Heart Volume I

Clearly the Best: Dauber Dynamite (S01E05)

Freshly Made Sketches & Play Date Cafe Challenge

Ok another challenge inspired card.  The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches #54 and the colors are from Play Date Cafe PDCC151.  Next I'm going to be working on one of my OWN challenges...really!!  On this card I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on  Olive cardstock with the same color sponged.  Flirty paper once again along with Words of Comfort stamp set and Floret Paper Shapes all Close to My Heart.
