This hop is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Wahoo!! Here we go! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are 5 Workshop kits that CTMH will be creating during this TWO-Day event. I chose to use the "Sending Hugs Cardmaking Workshop" for my creation today. Close To My Heart has created a BEAUTIFUL set of 20 cards, that we'll be creating on April 30th! I had a bit of leftover paper, and so I decided to create 2 additional cards using our BRAND NEW, Make It From Your Heart - volume 5 --- How To Book. If you have read any of my other blog posts, it won't take you long to realize how MUCH I adore using our How-To Books! They save me so much TIME & Thinking...and I love to pull out these books to grab a sketch to use for a scrapbooking page, or card I'm creating. Let's take a look at today's set of cards ---both cards use Pattern #21 in the Volume 5 edition. 😊 Did you notice?? Both of these cards are from the SAME PATTERN design!! 😉 That's one of the GREAT perks in our How-to-books. You don't have to keep it the pattern the same direction, but it's fun to CHANGE it up & get a totally different look!💗 Let's take a look at the first card.... This Koala bear is OH so CUTE!! I colored her in, by using the Watercolor paints that CTMH will use on their card designs too! Take a look at the dotted lines that I stamped around the square....isn't it amazing what an extra touch like that can do? Did you KNOW?? That this stamp set can ONLY be purchased as part of this bundle? Let's take a look at that stamp set before moving to my next card design. Which stamp image is YOUR favorite?? Let's take a look at the second card. (it's turned a quarter turn for a NEW card design!) This Zebra is pretty CUTE too! I added some of the flower images from the set to "accent" her & those JULEP sequins that are INCLUDED in the workshop kit...are the PERFECT color for these "Lovely" papers! Here's a closer look --- One of the FUN things I did on this card, was to create my own border strip. By using the single flower & the dashed line...I was able to add an extra touch! The flowers were colored with pink watercolor paint. 😉 I hope you enjoyed my card creations & that you were INSPIRED today!! :) Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Wendy's Blog to see her beautiful creation! --------------------------------------------------------------- Be sure to visit ALL the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas!

I know I have been promising to show you my Moogly Blanket for ages but for one reason or another I haven't been able to so here it is at last!.. I finished it in quite a hurry just before Christmas, I didn't really have time to consider how I was going to join it or what edging to use. Putting a large blanket together does have it's challenges, I placed all the squares on the bed, stood on a stool so that I could get a bird's eye view then kept switching them around until I got the layout I was happy with. I then sewed them in strips on the wrong side, sewed the strips together, then joined them again in dc/sc on the front. if I'd had time I would have made a cream border round each of the squares before joining but I was in a hurry to get it finished in time to gift to my daughter for Christmas. I'm pleased to say that she really loved it, it's such an interesting blanket with all the different designs and textures. I kept the edging very simple because of the complexity of the squares and because of the lack of time and I think it worked very well, One round of dc(sc), two rounds of htr(hdc) and a final round of crab stitch which is my favourite stitch for edging. I made this blanket purely out of stash yarn so I managed to bust quite a lot of my Aran stash in fact the last squares were quite a challenge because I had to go with the colours I had left. Unfortunately I didn't have time to weigh it so I'm not sure exactly how much yarn it took. All of the blocks I used for the blanket can be found here. Information about the Moogly 2015 Afghan CAL can be found here. The 2016 Moogly Afghan CAL begins on Thursday 7th January more information here, will you be taking part? I haven't decided :) Linking with .. Jennifer's Winter Project Link Party Rhondda's Link and Share Wednesday Lunamon Design Hookin On Hump Day

The Exploits of a Craft Junkie
Good Afternoon! Today I have finished my second of three Wedding Cards that I need to complete before November. This time I made an Easel Card using the Saturated Canary Digital "Marry Me". I made it for a very good friend of my daughter's who is getting married this weekend. The bride's colors are black and white so I decided to use white and greys for her card. I also added just a touch of red and green for the flowers and leaves in the bouquet. I really love how it turned out... Hope you like it too...
