Close to My Heart Workshop

Close to My Heart  has an Inspirations mini catalog and today I went to a workshop where we made cards with the Stamp of the Month - Find Your Style.  I bought the stamp set!  When you see these pictures you will agree there was no way I could pass it up.

To make the skirt we sprayed a strip of decorative cardstock with water, wrinkled it into a ball stretched it out and pleated..  Little sparkling beads make the necklace. Adorable!  

The background is stamped, notice the button brad on the shoe.

Homemade with Love

Once in a while the family decides to have a Homemade Christmas and 2010 was one of those times.  I used the Ikea framed mirror to create my homemade craft by covering the frame with decorative paper from the Graphic 45 line, doing some creative cuttings here and there, pop up dots and a little bling.
