Delight in Everyday

Today I would like to share with you one of the layouts I created for my Extravaganza Artwork for my booth for teaching at the Close to my Heart Annual Convention in July of this year.

(With some less-than-stellar photography. Sorry...DSLR still down-n-out.  My poor iPhone can only do so much.)

As you know, I was given the gorgeous new Avonlea papers.  Here you can see I have paired them with several of the new embellishments from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book.

Here, in a close-up for the left side you can see I have used some of the great new Avonlea Canvas Complements.  Since they cardstock weight and adhesive backed...they are so easy to use and layer together.  I was even able to find a complimentary Cricut cut to back one of the new designs.  But the eye-drawing feature of the page is certainly those new Opaques Pearl Flourishes!  I am in LOVE with those!  

 Of course I couldn't help but add some of the Colonial White Rosette Ribbon.  With 5 yards in just one package...it's so easy to add it to everything!  I finished of the layout with a title created with the new Canvas Alphabet...a great addition to coordinate with the Avonlea Canvans Complements!

Don't forget to take a look or even get a few of these great new products for yourself at my website

Gettin' Flirty!

For your viewing pleasure today I have another workshop I have created with our new bright and vibrant Flirty Paper Pack.   This pack includes fun kit-exclusive colors such at Flirty Raspberry and Flirty Yellow...colors you will see only in this paper pack for just this one time!  I stamped these great colored prints with the large bloom from our new coordinating stamp set Love Blooms.  Then grabbed the sentiment set (also featured with this paper pack) A Friend Like You to stamp some 'love' on my cards and added a little 'bling' with our Opaque Pearls.  Packaged it all up in the totaly adorable mini-magazine file 3-D box from our new Cricut Bundle Artiste!

Oh my darlin', oh my darlin'....

Oh, my darlin' Clementine! 

Yes, folks!  Our new Clementine paper pack is just 'darling'!! 

I love how sweet and sassy this new paper pack is!  With it's 'western floral' look and feel our NEW Burlap Ribbon and a touch of hemp are the perfect embellishments.  Give it a bit of extra texture by sanding and last - but not least - play along with the femine feel of this paper pack with some of our new Pearl Badge Buttons.

A little birdy told me...

You'd like to see some artwork!

As you may know, I was invited to teach at Close To My Heart's Annual Convention in Dallas, TX this past July.  For my assignment, I was given the absolutely GORGEOUS Avonlea Paper Pack.  I had such a great time coming up with all kinds of creative ways to use these beautiful new papers.  In the upcoming weeks I will be sharing lots and lots of artwork with this new paper pack.  So stay tuned for Avonlea overload!!

For your viewing pleasure today....
(I apologize for the poor picture quality...my DSLR is still out of commission) 
I have the cutest little birdhouse decorated with some of the new papers from the Avonlea Paper Pack.  This was one of my favorites out of all the art I created for teaching.  You've all seen the inexpensive little wooden birdhouses at your local craft store.  I picked this one up almost a year ago with so many good intentions.  But there it sat in my craft room....sad and neglected!  Until I got my hands on the new Avonlea Paper Pack and of corse the new Cricut ARTISTE cartridge!  It is decorated exclusively with Close to my Heart Products, with the exception of the acrylic paint and crackle medium I painted the house with.  
So here it is today....

Here you can see where I used our new scrumptious Colonial White Rosette Ribbon to embellish the roof.  Yes, the whole roof!!  You get 5 yards of this sweet ribbon in one package!! 

Last, but certainly not least....here is a close up the of sweet little flowers I created.
