SWEETER WITH YOU

Don't you love to make cards that uses paper from your scrap pile? I do!  I have scraps of paper that I can't resist saving them.  This card uses those scraps.  Sweeter With You stamp M1053 is a cute mini stamp that you can dress it up using Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste and Hopscotch paper.  I love being able to use my stamps and Cricut on a project.  I hope you enjoy today's card and have a great day on purpose.




The cupcake stamp is D1529

MY FAVE

This has been an exciting season if you are into football.  But I have to say, I am not really a football fan, but I know about football since I have a son that played all four seasons of high school.  After Terence quit playing I don't really follow football except the occasional couple of minutes I stick my head out of my craft room to see if my football watching husband is still breathing.   I will of course watch the Superbowl, for the commercials, you bet.  Congratulations to the teams that made it to the playoffs,  and Ohio State.  Good Luck next year for the teams that didn't make it to the playoffs.  But enough about that, today's card is a Twisted Card and features the stamp set My Fave B1476, Hopscotch paper, and Art Philosophy.  You can order these items from my Close to My Heart website.
