"By The Numbers" Heart 2 Heart Challenge

The new challenge at Heart 2 Heart is titled "By The Numbers". How can you use numbers on a paper crafting project? Check out the challenge to see how our team of designers interpreted the task!

I chose to use numbers as a journaling key. I numbered each photo and wrote coordinating journaling for each one on a PML card.

I used my "go to" alphabet stamp set, Typeface! Can't get enough of this stamp set and it was just right for what I needed to accomplish with numbers on this project.

This was my first chance to use the brand NEW "Regatta" Paper Collection featured in the NEW Seasonal Expressions book. I followed the online guide for suggested page layouts, kinda fun!

Absolutely giddy over how well this zip strip sentiment matched the photo I placed with it!

The NEW white and gold ribbon is a great finishing touch on this layout! Ooo Shiney!

What will you create "by the numbers"? Use your Close To My Heart products and make sure to enter your project by the end of this month!

Happy Crafting!

Bumble Birthday Card!

I've been wanting to make a Bumble Bee themed birthday card for a few months now. I've been holding onto my "Buzz and Bumble" paper pack scraps and keeping a pile of supplies on the surface of my work space. Then along came the perfect sketch at "Seize The Sketch" blog challenge #3! It was time to get serious!

Hexagon Sketch, need I say more?!

TaDa! Bees and honeycombs!

Love this sentiment: "Buzzing with good wishes!"

I stamped the Bee is Cocoa ink and colored it in with yellow and white colored pencils. Then added line accents with white gel pen on the white colored pencil.

Supplies:
- Kraft Paper Cardstock (CTMH)
- Buzz and Bumble Paper Pack (CTMH- retired)
- Quick Cards Stamp- bumble Bee A1135 (CTMH)
- Colored Pencils and Gel Pens: Yellow and White
- Ink Pads: Cocoa, Chocolate
- Ribbon: Adhesive backed 1/4 inch brown with white dots (JoAnns)
- Hexagon Punch (SUP)

Happy Card Making!
