Hop along the Avonlea Trail

Welcome to the December Paper Trail blog hop.  You may notice that you don't see any pretty paper here, yet.  Well, due to some family emergencies this week I'm a little behind.  But I will have a cool project to share with you very very soon!!

I don't want to interrupt your travels, so if you've arrived here from Linda's blog (The Paper Taylor) or just thought you'd start here, I'll send you on your way to Amy's blog (Pineapple Paper Artist) for some more inspiration. 

S'long Rub-ons, So Sad to See You Go!

News from our corporate office.  This is so unfortunate, because they are such a cool embellishment.  If you haven't used them before get some before they are gone and have fun!

The vendor we use for producing our velvet rub-ons will no longer be supplying these products to us, which means that all velvet rub-ons are now available on a "while supplies last" basis and will be discontinued when our stock is depleted. The products affected by this are:

Z1742 Parlor Velvet Rub-Ons

Z1743 Festive Velvet Rub-Ons

Z1700 Dark Chocolate Tapestry Velvet Rub-Ons

Z1733 Black Tapestry Velvet Rub-Ons

We regret this unexpected outage. We anticipate running out within a few days of this announcement, so if you had planned projects using any of these products, we urge you to place your order immediately.

Clicking on the photos will take you right to my website to place your order.  

Pear & Partridge Paper Trail Blog Hop

Welcome to the November Paper Trail Blog Hop.  If you arrived from Lynne's blog, Field's Finery, you are on the right path. I hope you enjoy our presentations!

Every month we feature a new paper pack from Close to my Heart and this month we playing with Pear & Partridge.  I love these holiday papers that are subtle enough to use for many many projects, holiday or not.  I chose to go with the holiday theme and make up one of our My Creations Stars.  I love how it turned out!

My apologies for the fuzzy photo...

I also did my own version of the trees in the current catalog/idea book and using the new Artiste Cricut cartridge.

 

I made my poinsettia with the Artiste Cricut cartridge and added some mini pearls.  So fun to get creative!

Now hop on over to Connie's blog, Scraps & Stories, and check out what she's got in store for you!  Thanks for stopping by!

Let's Get Flirty in October

Welcome to the October Paper Trail blog hop.  This month we are sharing our paper crafts made with Close To My Heart's "Flirty" paper pack.  If you've arrived from Tracey's blog, Paper Crafting Princess, you are moving right along the paper trail. We have a circular hop so you'll see us all if you just follow the links.

Flirty has such beautiful fall colors, I could hardly contain myself when it came to getting crafty.  Now grab a cuppa - I've got lots & lots to share with you!

"Flirty" X7160B

First is a two page layout that is pretty much straight out of our 2012 Fall Winter idea book.  The cool thing about the idea book is that you can copy the art exactly as you see it or tweak it for your own preference.  My layout has been tweaked, and I love it!

Layout Detail

I wanted to do something from our new Artiste Cricut cartridge and this pumpkin seemed really appropriate.  The leaves and 'badges' are also from the cartridge.  The cute little acorn (and the pumpkins on the layouts above) are part of our Color Ready Arbor Wooden Shapes. 

Pumpkin Decoration

 Since I was having so much fun with the Cricut I decided to make a couple little 3" Cricut cards, too. The size is perfect for using some of the extra pieces of the Flirty Dimensional Elements after my layouts were finished.

Moth & Owl Thank You Cards

Thank You Card Open

Are you ready for some more?  I have more cards to share.  The versatility of colors in this paper pack really allows for a great variety of cards.

 

I hope you've enjoyed my Flirty Gallery.  Now hop on over to Mary's blog, Road to Peace of Mind for some more great ideas & inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!

Some have been gently loved and others are brand new.  You know how it goes, so many stamps, so little time!

A Little More Moonlight

My daughter Alyssa got this idea from Pinterest - isn't that where we get most our ideas now days?  Witchy Fingers are made with sugar cookie dough and then presented in a French Fry holder from the the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  The papers, of course, are Moonlight.
