Cross Canada Blog Hop

Hello and welcome!
 
I am excited to tell you I am participating in the Cross Canada Blog hop this month.
 
so Howdy From Calgary, Alberta,

Thank you… now on to our hop! 

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Michelle. If you have come from Chantal's you are in the right place!
 
I love CTMH's how to books! They are fun and have a ton of ideas you can find lots of inspiration in them. they are Awesome when you need an idea fast. All three Cards I created only took me a little over an hour from start to finish (and that includes colouring time).
 
Here is what they inspired me to create:

I actually used Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 for all 3 of my Cards.
 
 

 

This simple card is inspired by project number 23 in the book (page 44). I coloured the heart from the M1049 stamp set using my Shin Han markers. I use the heart embossing folder and added some glitter to the hearts, and some shimmer tape to embellish.


 

 

This cards inspiration came from project 21 (page 43). very simple card. sentiment from D1584 Big Hug.

 

 

 

 

My Last Card was inspired by project 24 (pg44). I coloured the image, A1157 - Quick Cards-Island Greetings,  using my Shin Hans Again (there is a close up below).

 

 

 

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Kristine's Blog.
