Last night I created this layout with pictures from a pool party back in 2010! I used the following Close to My Heart Products: Token Alphabet Stamp Set Chocolate Ink Vanilla Cardstock Lagoon Cardstock Footloos Paperpack Dotty Paper Baker's Twine Art Philosophy Cartridge (for banner) Cricut Life's a Beach Cartridge Cricut H20 Cartridge The layout is from the Reflections How To Book "Balancing Act" and "Nine Photo Quilt".

One of my goals has been to use my scraps and not store them for ever! I have started making cards as soon as I am done with layouts using the extra scraps. Here are a few of the birthday cards I created this week: For the first and third card I used the extra paper from the Pemberley paper pack. The second card is from the Victory paper pack. I also used itty bitty opaque pearls, color ready seam binding and Outdoor Denim Ink. I used three different stamp sets, the first card is made with "Card Word Puzzle" Stamp, the second cards uses "Happy Camper" and the third uses "Hooray Bouquet". You can get all three of these great stamp sets this month for the price of 2 of them! Shop here

It has been at least two years since my quilt group swapped these beautiful blocks at a Christmas Party! I decided to take 5 of the 10 I received and make a table runner for our front entry way table. Every block has the same green batik. I really like how it turned out. I have another quilt laid out on my ironing board for the 4th of July. Hopefully this small project will help me find my mojo!
