Heart2Heart challenge, and Mojo Monday

This week's challenge at Heart2Heart was to pick a row on the Bingo card, and use the embellishments in that row.

 I chose the "ribbon-border punch-brads" row.  I was excited to get some ink on my "Neighborhood" stamp set, which had not yet seen the light of day.  Love when I get an excuse to break out some stamps I've never used!  Makes me feel like less of a hoarder.  :-)

Mojo Monday's sketch was pretty simple this week, but I love all the different takes on it! Here is the sketch:

And my design:

Wings journal

In January, my amazing friend Susan decided to become a Close To My Heart consultant.  Yay, Susan!!  I know she will be awesome with this business, and to welcome her to my team, I made her a special journal she can use to take notes, write down ideas, or just jot sketches.   I LOVE these journals....they come with a plastic sleeve on the front, so you can change out the decorated panel if you want.  Or, you can tear the sleeve off, and create something across the entire front of the journal.  So versatile! 

It's hard to see in the photo, but the butterfly was inked with Vineyard Berry ink, and the edges sponged with Black ink, for a two-tone look.  I only attached the body of the butterfly, leaving the wings to "float" off the page. 

Thanks for visiting!!

Cute "cake" boxes

Last month was the last meeting of one of my clubs.  :-(  The hostess for the month made each of us these awesome pieces of "cake", with the paper from the Wings line, and filled them with candy.  Soooooo adorable!!  She got the template from the online section of Paper Crafts magazine.  You can download the cutting templates here (the templates are found about halfway down the page).

Thanks so much, Patty!!  You're awesome!
