In love with Sweetheart

Last weekend I held my monthly workshop using our beautiful and fun Sweetheart papers. This is one of my favorite paper packs in our new idea book. The pinks and black with a light touch of purple are so fun to work with. My youngest daughters birthday is on Valentine's Day so I am always looking for something that fits with the colors of the season but doesn't scream Valentine's Day - this paper definitely fit the bill.

Here is a banner I made for her birthday party to help celebrate my sweet girl. It was SO easy to make! I sprayed the pendant using the Misting technique and used only 2 sheets of patterned paper and scraps of cardstock. It came together so quickly!





Here it is now hanging in her bedroom.

I attached one picture for each year of her life put used temorary adhesive so she could remove them if she wanted to as she gets older. Well, what do you think? I have to be honest - I LOVE IT!!!


Here is the layout shown in the worskhop on the go. It came together so quickly. It's hard to see it in the picture but we used the liquid applique for the "string" to hold the pendant title up and add little dots to the heart flowers coming off the black cardstock. This really made the colors pop! The shiny epoxy stickers add a nice touch and some bling to the layout too!


This second layout we created came from the Magic Book. Again, another easy layout with light distressing in black around the edges. Lisa, a loyal customer and friend, always loves to tilt her pictures or paper to give it that fun feel, so this layout was created with her in mind.


Both these layouts came together in about 2 and a half hours and that was with us talking and catching up with one another (one of the best parts of my workshops :)) If you want to create these layouts too, you can still get all the materials, complete coordinating stamp set, full color brochure walking you through step by step as you create the first layout shown and also walking you through creating 6 more cards for only $35. Send me a quick note at HeatherHicks@MyCTMH.com and I'll get your kit on its way to you.
