So it turns out that the previous winner of the blog giveaway was in the UK and it was cost prohibitive to send the cards to her.  I drew a new winner.

A Taste of Honey Blog Giveaway!

Update: Giveaway is over! Posting winner!

 In celebration of picking up the Project Life Honey Core Kit today, I would like to host a little blog giveaway!

Yep!  Just got the kit and I am already giving away some of these beautiful cards designed by Lori Whitlock.  I have become such a collector of all things Project Life that I wouldn't be able to use all the cards I have in the next 3 years.  It doesn't help that I receive more every month with my Studio Calico subscription.

Included in this giveaway are 2 of each journaling/filler card (50 designs) and 1 of each bi-fold journaling card (10 designs).  That is 110 cards of awesome coming to the lucky winner!  How do you win?  Just leave a comment on my blog.  This giveaway will run until next Monday and I will randomly pick a winner!  The winner will be announced next Tuesday right here!  US and Canadian only please!

Good luck everyone!

H2H Color Challenge!

So I know that my blog has been pretty silent lately.  I have been slacking hardcore.  That is not to say that I haven't been crafting though.  On the contrary, I have gotten quite a lot done recently.

I wanted to get this posted though for the Heart2Heart Challenge this week.  This week was a color challenge featuring CTMH colors Honey, Autumn Terracotta, and New England Ivy. 

I jumped on this pretty quickly since I had a pretty good idea what I wanted to do.  So here is the card I made!

I used the stamp set, Flourished Blessings to stamp out the leaves and the sentiment.  I then used Autumn Terracotta and New England Ivy cardstock to mat everything with.  The bitty brads are from Autumn Harvest collection.  I felt the leaves need a little shimmer to them so I lightly misted them with some shimmer mist I mixed up for the occasion.  I created the shimmer mist using Create-a-Shade pearl paint, chocolate reinker and rubbing alcohol.    I hope you like it!

My friend Holly was over at the time and she joined in on the fun.  Here is her creation!

We stamped way too many leaves and have a ton left over!

Supplies used (all CTMH):
Cardstock:  Autumn Terracotta, New England Ivy
Inks:  Autumn Terracotta, New England Ivy, Honey, Barn Red and Chocolate
Stampset:  Flourished Blessings
Other:  Create-a-Shade Pearl Paint, Chocolate Re-inker, Rubbing alcohol, 3D Foam Tape
