 I won Creative Clear Stamps Sketch for this Card. How awsome is that. Check out their site to play along. The more people that play along, the more the pay. 
 This is my entry for Just Add Ink Pattern Paper Challenge. Everything is pattern paper cept the cardstock and the stamp "Dream". I love Close to my Heart B&T Duos cause they made this so easy. All the paper is from one line and matches. I could have easily added from other paper lines, but I like how this turned out. recipe: Close to My Heart Cardstock - Crystal Blue, Colonial White B&T - Emporium Stamp - Treasures of the Heart Ink - Sweet Leaf Corner Rounder 3D foam tape
This is the 3rd weekend challenge. Below is the sketch. The challenge is to add punctuation to the sketch.  Here are my two examples. 
This is a mirror image of the sketch. My punctuation is the ampersand. I made the sketch into a 6x6 layout. There is hidden journaling behind the photo. The ampersand has double duty. It is part of the subtitle and is the pull tag for the journaling.

~Follow along on the flower hop.~ Next stop is Wendy K. Site. Keep hopping til you come to the first one you saw. This months Close To My Heart Blog Hop is featuring are Just Blooms Paper Flowers. I never use to use flowers on my cards and layouts, but these have changed my mind. You can easily alter them to fit your needs.  This card I used the Just Blooms as snowflakes. I even stamped snowflakes on them. It is so easy to stamp on these flowers to make them fit.  This is an art piece I did. You can easily dye your flowers with an inkpad and sponge, or use a reinker for a darker color as I did below. You can also layer them on top of other paper flowers.
Grouping flowers makes accessory. You can also decorate the center of the flower with brads or bling. I made the larger flower with a border punch. and then placed a dyed Just Bloom on top.

 This is my entry for Burtonesque Dolls Challenge . We had to distress our paper. I also included tattered fabric. The bottom paper is dyed with a shaving cream technique. I thought it was perfect for Sweeny Todd. The Largest flower is made from a spider web border punch I folded into a circle. The flourishes were stamped and a glued sequins on top. A little bit of work, but i think it turned out cool. Recipe: Close to my Heart unless noted.

 Instead of using one of our layout books to create this 6x6 layout, I used Pieced Together from Wishes, which is a 6x6 card. Tip: to get the die-cut look of my paper, I made a template from a-door-ables. I also used the left over from Dimensional Elements to make the sorbet flower. Its a great way to get more for your buck.
