Welcome back to the Use Your Stash Blog Hop.  This month we are focusing on Metal Embellishments.  I bet you have a lot of those sitting around just waiting to be used.  If you are just starting, you can just continue until you make your way back here.  If you have already started the hop, you should be coming from Rachel Ventura. For both of these layouts I pulled out some OLD supplies!  The paper and My Stickease ares CTMH but I couldn’t tell you the name.  I used glitter brads on the first layout and silver metal brads on the second layout.  I really love using brads because they are so easy to incorporate. Now hop on over to Joy McHargue to see what she has done with metal! Here are a list of Participants: Joy McHargue Nikki Forte’ DeWitt Tabbi Fritz Janet McCormick Shirley Ross Judy Faye Garner Rachel Ventura Wendy Kessler Share/Save Related posts: March 2012 CTMH Use Your Stash Blog Hop (List) January 2012 – Use Your Stash Blog Hop (List) October 2012 CTMH Use Your Stash Blog Hop – Chalk It Up

The weather has been so erratic here this spring. One day it is 40 degrees and the next it is 86. Finally this week the flowers are blooming everywhere. I even saw a few dogwood blossoms peeking out from one corner of our yard.Since flowers are growing everywhere I thought I would share two flower images. Both of the images today are from a Child's Garden of Verses book from 1930.

I got most of my DT projects finished today so I created a couple of cards just for fun. I used up a lot of brain cells on my DT stuff so these are kinda clean and simple for me ;)This first one uses some Teresa Collins papers along with a PTI stamp set.Next up is a very CAS card, and one layer at that - not my usual style at all. This is a Technique Tuesday stamp and a bit of Smooch spritz. I still stitched around the edge... have to have a bit of 'me', hehehe.I used this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch:

Now that the weather is turning warmer, it's time to share your "critters" with us at Heart 2 Heart Challenges with a creature feature! Share whatever kind of creature- real or imaginary- that you'd like.Since I broke into my cool Close To My Heart Dream Pop paper pack, I had to use this fun birdcage print. Doesn't the Honey pair well with Slate? Can you see the embossed chevron pattern on the card stock? Each sheet of card stock in this special pack is pre-printed with a graphic design. (Is pre-embossed a word?) This card sketch is from the Make It From Your Heart, Vol. 1 how-to guide. I stamped the bird cage and chain with slate and then finished off the front with some seam binding ribbon.The inside also uses the same Hello Tweety stamp set. Both are stamped in Slate: the sentiment in 1st generation and the birds in second generation.Be sure to link up YOUR creature feature before this month ends at the H2H blog! Also, if you'd like to get your pack of the awesome Dream Pop paper, visit my website.

FYI: From Paper Crafts Central - great price! Get any of the following discontinued cartridges for only $13.99! HURRY - Once they're gone, THEY'RE GONE!! (most of them will probably sell out on the first day) AND... almost all of them are full content cartridges (the Cricut Cake cartridges can be used just like a regular cartridge - check out all of the images they contain and they even come with a font!)

Hi, Stampin' Friends! I'm in crafty hibernation with my big box of goodies from CTMH to work on my Extravaganza projects, so you won't be seeing a lot form me over the next couple weeks. I do have some fun projects lined up to share though, starting with this June SOTM card for my Team Lunch next week! Since I can't have the girls over as my Stamp Pad is covered with all kinds of top secret, we're meeting up for a team lunch and card swap. I {heart} my team!I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my card design. Then I went looking for color inspiration, which I found at the Play Date Cafe. I didn't have anything in that yummy Jade Color, so I used Juniper CS stamped with polka dots and sanded down within an inch of it's life to lighten the color. I spent a lot of time pondering how to fill that space above my watercolored flowers...I wanted it empty, but no SO empty... Then I got my new email from Paper Issues about their die cut Linky Party and I thought, "Of course! Die Cut clouds!". So there they are.Congrats to our Friday Favorite Things Winner, Jill Davis! Your stamps will be on the way!
