The Quilted Scrapper

The Close to My Heart Taste of Summer paper pack is only available until May 31, 2015. Today I decided to play with it, the coordinating stamp set  to create this frame for my dining room. I also used the Cricut Artise cartridge to cut the bow and flowers. Here is a close up of the flowers:

I am having so much fun playing with the Taste of Summer paper pack available through Close to My Heart though the end of May. Today I had the opportunity to play with my new Cameo Silhouette I got for Mother's Day and created this great card using the Taste of Summer paper and Adventure Assortment- Paper Fundamentals .    Order your Taste of Summer here .

The Workshops on the Go offered by Close to My Heart are so versastile and such a great deal. Every WOTG includes a paper pack, extra cardstock, stamp set, 2 embellishment sets and directions. The Jackson WOTG includes great embellishments and a fabulous stamp set. My scrap group didn't care for all the hexagons so I designed this layout using the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge and Cricut Craftroom.  The second layout recommended in the WOTG comes from the Reflection  How To Book: For this layout I also used the Campfire Style stamp set to create the title and small stamping figures. All of these supplies can be ordered here .

The Blossom paper pack is one of the new paper packs in the Seasonal Expression 2. I have had fun creating with it. So far, I have made this simple card using circles cut out at different sizes with the Art Philosophy cartridge. I also used some of the new Glacier Extra Thick Twine  and the new stamp set Finding The Words . The layout was created using the same circles along with Whisper cardstock. I also added some Oceanside Sequins  and Glacier Extra Thick Twine. 

  The Seaside  paper pack is one of my favorite as it is the most versatile paper pack. I have done some beach layouts all ready, but the paper was perfect for water park pictures too. I also added some of the new Boardwalk Washi Tape for some accents. I cut the large circle out using the Art Philosophy Cartridge. 

This week I used some retired paper, Claire, along with the CTMH Teacher Appreciation stamp to create this simple card for my son's teacher.   I used the following Close to My Heart products to create this layout: Black Ink Flaxen Ink Sunset Ink White Shimmer trim, colored with ShinHan marker Gray Wool cardstock All supplies (except the Claire paper) can be ordered here . 

 This fabulous paperpack with 12 patterned papers (6 twice) is yours this month only for $8.95 through Close to My Heart . I used the orange paper and added Outdoor Denim cardstock along with the May Stamp of the Month  to create this layout to use for our recent trip to Florida and orange picking! The May stamp of the month is available for only $5 with any $50 purchase or $17.95 on it's own.
