Home Run with Graphic 45

 

Today you'll find one of my easel cards featured over on Graphic 45 Blog.  I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a huge sports girl, but my GOSH...I love this collection.  It's probably the vintage retro feel that it has as most G45's collections do...but it's just stinkin cute. 

 

I also created a tutorial on how to make the faux leather I used on this card.  Check it out on Snapguide.  Not familiar with Snapguide?  It's the latest up and coming hot internet site.  You can find all kinds of tutorials on how to do...well about anything you can think of. 

Here's a link to my tutorial:

Now get ready for a bunch of pictures...wanted to be sure you got the whole feel of the card.  Oh and if you couldn't tell the baseball on the front slides across, so it looks like it's heading out of the park for a HOME RUN!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll see you all soon...happy crafting until then.

July's Heartfelt Creations Release: Cut, Mat, CREATE!!!

Today is the much anticipated premiere of Heartfelt Creations July Release: Cut, Mat, Create.  It's  the must have die set for pocket scrapbooking.  It's chocked full of matting dies, flourishes, vines and of course beautiful stamps.

I've created a super simple layout that really wows with a lot of the release.  Want to see more??? Head over to Heartfelt's Blog and check out all the works from our amazing design team...plus instructions on how to create the projects you see.  

 

Very Blessed

I'm so blessed to have my family and loving friends.  I made this for a dear friend of mine who lost his father.  I can't imagine, as I'm so blessed to have both my parents.  He such a sweet heart and I know a card wasn't a drop in the bucket for how he must have been feeling, but I hope it softened it just a bit. 

This card was created using Graphic 45's Botanical Tea Collection and such stamps from Heartfelt Creations.  Of course all the flowers are handmade. 

See you tomorrow with the premiere of Heartfelts Creations July Release...and you are going to love it.
