Heart shaped card

Hello!  I've got a heart-shaped Valentine for you today.  I'm also the hostess on the Scrapbook Blessings Club blog today, too!  I've used the Wild Card Cricut cart so this card came together pretty quickly :-)

Recipe:
Wild Card Cricut cart - heart @ 5" ( I cut the polka dot layer at 4 3/4" and just cut it apart- and used the other half on the back of the card)
The Paper Studio - Persnickety stack - polka dot paper
Bugaboo Digital stamp - Ava and Deacon heart
watercolor pencils
Oriental Trading Co - heart button
Sew Easy floss - princess

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a blest day!

New Years Journal

Hello and Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a fabulous night last night!  We stayed in and ate and ate and watched the countdown on tv.  My two kiddos stayed up just past midnight.  I didn't think they would make it...LOL!!  Okay, on to my project.  I've used a K&Company Designer pad and turned it into a journal. 

The pages have botanicals with graph or ledger styles so I thought it would be perfect for journaling.

Recipe:
K&Company Designer paper pad (4.75" x 7.5")
Pink Paislee - Color Wash stack
Core'dinations - pink cardstock
When I Was a Kid Cricut cart - frame @ 4"
MS All Occasions Cake Art Cricut cart - bannerette @ 1 1/4", '2014' @ 1/2"
Seeing Spots - Cuttlebug embossing folder
Tim Holtz Sanding tool
pop dots
pink pearl bling
Ribbon Boutique -organza ribbons

Thanks for stopping by today!  I wish you all a healthy, happy, fabulous New Year!!  This project is also being featured on the Scrapbook Blessings Club blog today.
