New Release Sunday! {Heart Song Designs}

Welcome to another New Release Sunday for Heart Song Designs!!

It is my pleasure to introduce to you ...

the beautiful Lovely Tulips ...

and the creative Bloom Trimmers ...

These new digis are great! First I'll share my Lovely Tulips card ~

I chose to use these beautiful blooms for an Easter card for my dear grandmother. They are so fun to color. I used Copics for mine. They really are beautiful and very realistic!

I also had a chance to create with the ingenious Bloom Trimmers!

Leah designed this wonderful set of blooms, leaves and butterflies. The combination can be trimmed, colored and crafted to fit any occasion!

FUN STUFF!!

I printed 2 sets so that I would have 2 stems of leaves, 2 butterflies and 2 of the smaller flower to create a birthday bouquet for my card. There are also accents of Stickles on the blooms and butterflies!

Please stop by Leah's shop and gather up some wonderful digital stamps for your crafting ventures!! :) Also, don't forget to visit the rest of the design team to see what they've created with these great images!!

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!

"In March 2009, just before our move to the 'sunshine state' ~ Florida, God blessed us with a Wonderfully Beautiful snow cover! Our country home in Powhatan, Virginia, was truly like a WINTER WONDERLAND."

Joyeux Noel! {SC322 + JB09}

What fun!
The Jingle Belles holiday card prompt for this week is "Text Me! - Incorporate text into your holiday creations."


I made copies of Christmas songs from an old Hymnnal that we have, reduced to 50%. I left the dark creases, and actually folded my page on the crease, so *in person* it looks like the bumped up pages of a book. :)
I added a few pine branches with my Martha Stewart punch and a couple of red gems, some pretty green satin ribbon with gold flecks, and a swirly Christmas sentiment, antiqued the edges of my shaped card, and there we have it!!

Ticket for a Birthday in the Clouds {MOJO180 + TLC314}

WHAT FUN!!! :)

This week's MoJo Monday challenge sketch is to create a round or square card. I've seen round cards for a while now, but have never attempted to create one!

BOY!! I feel like a whole new world has opened up to me!!!! :) I'm so excited!

Here's my round card - using the ADORABLE Hot Air Balloon digi stamp from Heart Song Designs ...



SO easy!!! ... really! Here's the link to Julee's post (of Verve Stamps and MoJo Mondays challenge blog). Try it!! I used the Cricut to cut the shapes I needed. *Including the precious little extra cloud that I HAD to add! ;)

I'm submitting this card for the SCS technique *create your own ticket* challenge {TLC314} and the Mojo sketch {MOJO180}.

*I think I'm totally into shaped cards right now!.... I'm just feelin' it!!! :) We'll see!

Hope you have a HAPPY DAY!
