Open House Artwork - Part 6

Hello everyone!

I have just returned from the most wonderful birthday weekend ever - a Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Dream! After a rocky start (literally), it really was an incredible weekend.

So, now, back to the artwork! Yes, there's still more to see! So let's get right to it!

This first card was the Make & Take at my Open House. It uses this month's Stamp of the Month, "Cherish The Day", along with the star images from "Love Life" and the "thank you" sentiment from the "Thank You" set (available only through my online store at http://funforyou.myctmh.com). The stars and "ticket" pieces were cut from the "Art Philosophy" Cricut Cartridge.

This gorgeous layout was created using the Mayberry Paper Pack, Color-Ready Alphabets Cork, the "Love Life" stamp set, Designer Ribbon Cocoa Collection, and the Brad Assortment - Pink. The original layout (featured on page 29 of the Autumn-Winter 2011 Idea Book) used the Elemental Paper Pack and our new Decor Journaling Spots, but since i didn't have either of those products, I improvised - again! I made my own cute envelopes for the tags, and the starts were nice and easy - cut from the Cricut!

This very pretty card utilizes the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge once again. I just LOVE how the images from the "Hooray Bouquet" stamp set coordinate perfectly with the Cricut cuts. The flowers and sentiment stamped in the rectangle are from "The Present" stamp set. A Chocolate brad, along with Opaques - Mocha, were also used.

That "Hooray Bouquet" stamp set is so much fun to use - I just had to use it again on this layout of my beautiful daughter. This layout can also be found on page 86 of the Autumn-Winter 2011 Idea Book using different colors and papers. The flowers are perfect for layering! And I am really loving the new Cork Alphabet - it's really cork! The flowers and borders were cut with the Cricut!

These last three cards were all done using the "Remarkable Wreath" stamp set. This is a great set in that you can create three completely different looks for three different seasons. All you have to do is switch up the papers and colors, and voila! These cards were all cut using "Art Philosophy". This one is the autumn card.

This one is the winter card.

And this one is the spring card. Fun!

Well, I hope you have enjoyed this week's inspiration! The holidays are FAST approaching, so be sure you make that special someone a handmade greeting to show how much you really care. Until next time, happy stamping!
