April Showers

Bring May Flowers and a Sneak Peak

Heart 2 Heart's April showers challenge was a real challenge for me.

Then I was cruising through my Artistry booklet and noticed the rain drop

background. I used that with some cloud B&T paper (sneak peak) 

from Little Dreamer coming soon in the new Expressions II. I also used some

floral paper from Little Dreamer for the umbrella. 

Only a few days left to play at at Heart 2 Heart. You could become an addict, 

a darling or a sweetheart. So come play along and see what you get.

Charlotte Diamonds

Special One Page Layout

Inspired by Close to My Heart

Using the Charmed by Charlotte advertisement at Close to My Heart

I made this special page for my grand daughter and her boyfriend

as they were celebrating their 6th anniversary of when they met.

I cut the diamonds in the Artistry Cricut booklet page 4 at 2.75 and 2.25

 inches using random Charlotte papers and slate and whisper CS. I 

stitched around the whisper CS diamonds. I placed the diamonds on some

White Daisy CS in a random manner. After the page was done I made the

following card using the same idea.

From the scrapbook page to the card.

Just Because

I Heart Charlotte

And Color My Heart and Atlantic Hearts

 shapes from the Artistry Cricut cartridge. The card

is embellished with the Charlotte Compliments and

Treasured Puffies. So grab your Charlotte and share

your creation with us at Color My Heart. If you missed

this sketch from Atlantic Hearts another new one

Water coloring the cut out shape from this card 

made another fun card with the leftovers for the

and layers available with the new Artistry Cricut cartridge.
