Queen for a Day

This is a real simple card to make. I used a Martha Stewart border punch to create the desert Sand border on this card. Then I used the Nestabilities Lacey Circles and plain circles to create the mat to stamp on. I also stamped my saying from the Royal Birth Stamp set. Used my Bow easy to make the perfect bows, added a few brads and we are done.


All supplies are from Close To My heart unless otherwise noted:
Silhouette Paper Packet
White daisy, Black and desert sand Cardstock
Royal Birth Stamp set D1441
Bamboo Brads
Archival True Black Ink 4475
Martha Stewart Rings, Bubble Bath and Swirling Lace border Punches
Nestabilities Lacy Circles and plain circles
Ribbon (unknown)

Hand and Hand

This paper packet has to be one of my all time favorite papers from Close To My Heart.  It is called Sofia and is one of the 8 new paper packets in the Spring/Summer 2011 catalogue.  These pictures were taken last summer and it was the first time my granddaughter Novalee had walked in the sand.  It was funny, watching her discover the cold sand between her toes!  It was so cute.  Ya, I know...excited grandma talking here...
Anyways, this layout was made from the Sofia Workshop on the Go kit. 

All supplies are from Close To My Heart:

Another Wings layout

Here is a layout I made of Close To My Heart Convention in 2008. The colors of the Wings papers went perfect with the dresses Liz and I were wearing. (Hi Liz!) I also tried a new technique for the green area inside the scalloped strips in the layout. I will be teaching this technique at my technique Class in January. The marbled look also goes great with the Wings kit.

Express Yourself

This is another Faster, Simpler, Easier layout I made.  It uses the Wings Paper Packet, Wings Stickease and the New Black Mini Medley Accents Collection.  I think it tood me under 30 minutes to put this all together.  That included printing the pictures and doing computer journalling. 
The Wings Collection is available right now...a little preview of the new Spring/Summer catty that goes live on February 1st!
