You Warm My Heart - CCMC335

I used some more new goodies for today's card for the sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary. I thought the sentiment from the soon to be available set Sheltering Tree worked well with the rest of this card to make a Valentines / Love / Friendship card.

Lotus Blossom - PPA223

This 3-step Lotus Blossom stamp set in the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog is one of my favorite new stamps. It went on my first pre-order right away so I could get a chance to play with it. I thought it would somewhat match the sketch for Pals Paper Arts, which I turned 90 degrees to match my sketch. There's a lot of white space in this card, so I added a tiny bit of bling to fill it in.

For The New Two - NAC121

Well, the holidays are over and hopefully I'll have some more time to get crafty again. I received some of my pre-order items from the 2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog, and have barely had any time to play with them. Today's card uses new DSP, a new stamp set, and a new embellishment. I've loosely based this card on the current sketch challenge from Nacho Average Challenges, but in the end decided not to cut the banner end on the middle DSP strip.
 
My blog is also celebrating it's 1 year anniversary! I can't believe how many projects I've shared and how many visitors I've had. Thank you for being part of that!

Occasions Sneak Peak Card - NAC119


I made a card! My crafty time has been seriously limited lately with all the craft shows and holiday events, but I got my pre-order yesterday of items from the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs, and I love it. This DSP is beautiful! And the butterfly thinlits are awesome!
 
I love all these spring colors and images, especially since we've been getting a ton of snow dumped on us in Quebec the past few days. Spring is still a long time away, but it felt a bit less wintery making this card :)
 
I used the sketch from this week's challenge at Nacho Average Challenge for my cards.
 
How many new items can you spot?

Bad Blogger!

Don't worry, I'm still alive! The busy holiday season is here and the past few days have been super busy which hasn't given me any time in my craft room :(

I did a very successful craft show both days this past weekend with my mom.

Here's my table:
