you warm my heart

It's time for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Winter blog hop!

Did you know that December 13th is National Cocoa Day?

And that December 15th is International Tea Day?
Pretty good timing for this hop huh?!

In honor of Cocoa Day I created this cozy little card:

That mug stamp is from Unity's Our Hearts to Yours.
The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Snow Day.

I love the sweater cozy on the cup of cocoa. Isn't it adorable?
I'm hoping to get one for Christmas. :)

If you have time, you should come join the hop for lots of chances to win great prizes.

Thanks for stoppping by and have a great weekend!

sorry i'm late

 Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge is Back to School.

 I have this birthday card (that might have been a little late!) hence the overdue library book theme. Even thought they don't use these cards anymore, I sure do remember having them in all my school's library books way back in the day!

The papers are from Lawn Fawn's Dewey Decimal set. I absolutely love these papers!

And speaking of back to school, my kids go back this week! My oldest will be in middle school. Middle school. Gasp. He's getting old. I guess that means I am as well!

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week!

A few projects from this week...



This first card is for the current Lawnscaping challenge:

The challenge is to use just one layer (and Lawn Fawn stamps).

So I used Flying By to create this card.

And by the way, my 8-yo son says that this is his favorite stamp set of mine ever!

And I have a lot of stamps!

He really enjoyed watching me make this :)

I sponged the sky using blue ink and bubble wrap and masked the clouds.

I paper-pieced red airplanes and finished it off with some Airmail Divine Twine.

This next layout is for Scrapbook Steals MidWeek Mojo. The lovely guest designer Jennifer McDermott had 2 sketches so I used them both to make a two-pager. My printer won't work - hence no photos for this post. I decided to make this 13th birthday LO for my niece since Birthdays are the theme over at The Paper Girls Challenge.

I made this rosette to mimic some banners we hung at the party (that you could see if printer was working). And I just love this epoxy center made with my Epiphany Crafts tool.

And lastly, this card is for Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness sketch challenge.

Again, I pulled out my Epiphany Crafts tool and made an epoxy embelly to match the sketch.
