Tag (You're It!) Tuesday Meets new Close to My Heart Products!

I am BURSTING to show you this tag I made with some of the new Close to My Heart products!  It features the Lollydoodle Paper Packet as the background of the tag and the Kraft CS for the scalloped rectangle.  I used the Scallop Border Punch to easily give it the edge.  The base for my tag is one of the Dimensional Elements Tags that coordinate with the cuts on the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection.

I have no idea where to begin here!  I used a variety of new products for this tag because I was so excited to try them ALL!  ;)  The tie at the top of my tag is made with the NEW Skylark Textiles.  I seriously love the patterns and colors they chose for these!  I also added a button and hemp twine from the Mini Medley Accents Wooden Collection. 

The cluster at the bottom of the tag features a sentiment from Big Hug, one of my favorite new My Acrylix sets.  I added a sprinkle of Flamingo Enamel Dots, Lagoon Zipper Lace, and a cute badge button from the Lollydoodle Assortment.

THIS is one of my favorite new embellishments--the White Marquee Enamel Shapes!  I stuck the self-adhesive heart to some of the NEW Smoothie Striped Washi Tape that was I had taped to White Daisy CS and just trimmed it out for a cute 3D embellishment!  SO easy and SO many possibilities to use these great additions!

Do you recognize the little "leaf" on my tag?  It is actually a corner that I cut off one of the Irresistibles Frames and inked up with Pear Exclusive Ink.  I always love to find new uses for familiar products!  :)

Here is a better look at those button badges in the Lollydoodle Assortment...I adore how they are diamond cut instead of smooth on top!

Huntington Gets Fresh with Me

Well, I think I got your attention today, lol!  Happy Friday!

I desperately needed some time to clear my head and craft yesterday, and I think it was a success all around.  I whipped up a great card using Freshly Made Sketches #104.  I think I acheived a wonderfully crisp Autumn feel (even though it was 90 degrees outside!)

THIS cluster at the top is my favorite little part of the card.   I combined a few different awesome Close to My Heart products that complement the Huntington Papers beautifully.  The Huntington Assortment, Natural Hemp, Mini Medley Accents Wooden Collection, and Mocha Opaques coordinate SO well together.

The stamps for the Huntington Workshop on the Go Scrapbooking Kit are rather large, but I really wanted to use them this way for the sketch, so I made a 5 x 7 card base out of Cocoa CS.  I stamped the sentiment in Cocoa Ink on Champagne and Colonial White CS.  I rather like how I swapped out the banner image to turn the sketch on its side.  ;)

This sentiment is warm and fuzzy, isn't it?  I love the positivity it exudes!  I hope YOU have a GOOD day too!  It sure is a good day to try!  :)
