All About Me

You know, it's been  while since I did a post other than

my DT commitments. And now that I'm not working

I have time to do some creating just because!

This morning I put together this tag for the

Addicted to Paper Dolls Facebook challenge.

The theme is

"All About You".

Okay, this is not so much about me as of late, but

I do have a degree in Music Education and flute is

my major instrument.  But, music has always

 and always will be a big part of my life!

So now you know a little bit more about me!

Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks for taking  a look!

MHKDesigns July Inspiration

Hey there everyone!

It's my turn, once again, to share some inspiration for

MHKDesigns!

I am way behind on making Christmas cards, so

I decided to take this opportunity and make a card using

one of the many MHKDesigns holiday stamp sets,

Stencil in the Holidays.

I used the colored version of the poinsettia image, which is included with the set.

The image was printed in 2 sizes and fussy cut. 

I added some gold stickles to the center.

I arranged the flowers on the 2 coordinating DP panels

and added some pine springs, which were punched with a Martha Stewart punch. 

The sentiment was printed and die cut.

I finished up with some gems.

I hope you'll check out this set and all the others available at the

MHKDesigns Easy Shop!

And, be sure and join us for our current challenge.

We'd love to see what you create!

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!
