It's the MOST.WONDERFUL.TIME.OF.THE.YEAR!  I am SO incredibly inspired by the new Close To My Heart Annual Inspirations book ... WOWzers ... it ROCKS!

I've spent this past month creating with the new color palettes and playing with the new products ... all of these beautiful images sum up what this book is whispering to me right now ... from the GORGEOUS thistle hues above to the warm, sun drenched fields below ... there is so much inspiration right at my fingertips!  And am I ever LOVING our new palette colors ... Thistle, Glacier, Pixie Pink, Flaxen and Canary ... so YUM, YUM, YUMMY!

Pixie Pink is whispering ...

I am so inspired by this incredible new collection ... and thus ... so filled with joy!

From the Hostess Sets to the Stamp of the Months to the paper collections and the Workshops on the Go ... it all speaks to me!


Mama's got her mojo back ...

It's taken a bit ... 6 months perhaps ... and counting???  But it's finally returning ... my mojo that is!  Of course ... a new Inspiration Book filled to the brim with with so much to LOVE really helps also!  {smiles}  My upcoming calendars are filled with projects, cards, and fun little crafts that will hopefully breathe life into you and get you excited about papercrafting ... here's a sneak peek at just a few things I've been fast at work on:

I've been having a blast 'watercoloring' and coloring with my new ShinHan Twin Touch Markers and I plan on featuring them ALL.MONTH.LONG ... every TUESDAY as a matter of fact ... Twin Touch Tuesday will be happening every week this August so make sure you subscribe to my blog so you don't miss a thing!  Tune in and perhaps you'll discover something new to do with your own FABULOUS alcohol markers!

This darling 3x3 card features Originals Pattern: Pieced Panels on page 12 of Originals.
It's been WAAAAY too long since I've picked up my watercolor pencils ... but I gave them a whirl with this card! It also gave me the opportunity to utilize a pattern in my Originals Book ... by the way ... I'm walking through this book pattern by pattern and I'll be sharing each of my cards here on my blog.  This is a GREAT way to teach myself how to go outside my own box and LEARN.SOMETHING.NEW!

Making this card also gave me the opportunity to play with our new Scaredy Cat paper collection, twill ribbon, bling ... everything I LOVE!

So guess WHO LOVES the diagonal stripe paper in this collection ... if you guessed ME ... you are correct!  And of course ... there are the things I can't live without ... Shimmer Tape, Rhinestone Bling, the What A Hoot stamp set ... be still my heart!

Again ... this card features Originals Pattern:  Pieced Panels on page 12 of Originals.  And as mentioned I am walking through EVERY.SINGLE.PATTERN in my Originals book and will be showcasing all of the cards made right here on my blog ... LOVE!
