Dotty For You Frame

A couple weeks ago I attended the Close To My Heart Leadershare Event in New Jersey.  It was a wonderful weekend of fun, learning, creating and just hanging with friends, old & new.  Close To My Heart held a live auction to benefit Operation Smile-a charity that helps children with cleft palettes and other facial deformities receive the surgery needed to make their smile more beautiful.  It takes just $240 for one surgery to change a child's life forever.  I am happy to announce that our auction raised $1600-enough for 6 surgeries!  I am proud to work for such a wonderful company that cares so much about others and gives back to help those in need.

For my auction donation, I created this open frame using the Dotty For You Papers, Paradise Flowers & Baker's Twine, Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge Stella Workshop Stamp Set and the Bling Assortment.  Three of the tags have mats for photos, the others are just decorative, but I love how it turned out and plan to make another one to hang in my family room.  Hope you enjoy!

Friendship Bouquet & May Specials

Friendship Bouquet-May Stamp of the Month
April showers bring May flowers and I just love these cute little sunflowers in this set!  Look how beautiful the flowers are....

This set is available only during the month of May.  You can purchase it for $17.95 or get it for only $5 with a $50 purchase from the 2012 Spring/Summer Idea Book.  Here's a couple cards I created using S1205-Friendship Bouquet and the Pemberley Level 2 papers.  On each of these cards I embossed the sunflower with Cocoa Embossing Powder and then colored them in using the Watercolor Pencils and Blendy Pen. I love how they turned out.

More Dotty For You Cards

As promised, I am posting a couple more cards I created using the Dotty For You paper pack.  I LOVE this paper, the colors are so amazing together leaving you with so many different options when creating with it.  I decided on these two cards since they both feature butterflies.  I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut out the butterflies you see here on this card and the one on the flower below.
