You Warm My Heart Red Mug

It snowed over here today! I didn't even realize that it was supposed to. It was a pretty light snowfall and it looked so pretty as it was falling. It has already mostly melted from the sidewalks so we'll see if we have a delay tomorrow with the schools due to ice. After my daughter came in from playing in the snow, I made her a cup of hot chocolate and started working on this card...perfect for this weather.

I was inspired by the Inspired By #5 Challenge and this cozy picture.

I hope you're not tired of this stamp set yet! I was hoping we still had some heart sprinkles that I could use on the Liquid Applique for the "cream" in the mug but no such luck. I used red sugar sprinkles instead.

Sweet as Honey

Happy New Year!

Well, break is over for me and the kids so we will be getting our noses back to the grindstone once more. Although I love teaching, I do love my free time, especially having time to create! So I was commiserating with my kids about going back to school a little today. I decided I needed to make something cheerful to end our break and to start the new year.

I've been enjoying Laurel Seabrook's blog for quite awhile now and she has recently started a challenge blog called Inspired By. The Inspired By challenge #4 is to use the following invitation as a starting point.

I was inspired by the layout, texture, and the colors. Here's what I came up with.

Supplies used (all CTMH except for Nestabilities): (B1374) Bee Happy stamp set, Grey Wool Cardstock, White Daisy Cardstock, Corner Rounder, Black stamp pad, (Z2350) Sunflower marker, (Z2310) Buttercup marker, (Z2352) Sunny Yellow marker, Corner rounder to make scalloped edges, Houndstooth paper is from the retired Splendor paper pack, Nestabilities - Lacey Circles, Standard Circles (small and large)

One of the sentiments from this stamp set is, "Don't worry, bee happy," so now I have the Bobby McPherrin song going through my head!
