Where The HeART Is Challenge Blog is a new challenge blog coming soon, the first challenge is set for September 7th.

There will be monthly challenges for Cards and Mixed Media, both with the same theme so whichever is your 'thing' why not pop over to the Blog and join in the fun!

I'm happy to say I've been invited to be on the Card Design Team and I'm really looking forward to some fun times ahead, hope you will come and join in too.

...doesn't seem so unlikely with some of the temperatures we've had lately!  I'm not complaining really as I actually don't like the summer and always wish it away as Autumn is my favourite time of year...Yay, almost here :)

I think I'll take a break from Christmas cards for a while though, I have some lovely new dies, stamps and pretty papers to try out and I'm itching to make a start.

To make this I used:
Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia paper collection
Heartfelt Creations Arianna Lace die
Heartfelt Creations Decorative Oval Die
Heartfelt Creations Banner and Trees (smaller snowflakes)
Creative Expressions - Sue Wilson Festive Collection - Pine Bough and Mosaic Poinsettia
Some lace, pearls and wooden embellishments

Tayla is my son’s girlfriend and today is her birthday!

For this card I did some paper weaving which I haven’t done for a little while.  It always works really nicely with two contrasting colours, the green and lilac used here are really pretty.

The card is made using all Sue Wilson dies and Heartfelt Creations papers.

I’ve done a photo tutorial on the steps to make this card on Guidecentral, you can find it here.
