Back to business around here...business that I love, that of being a momma and wife and all of the wonderful things that come with those roles, back to a familiar routine that I love, and heading into a new year. I have to say that I find the beginning of each year so refreshing and exciting. I find hope in it and inspiration. This past year has been a bumpy, hard one for me personally, with so many blessings intertwined that I am happy to seek for each day. Searching out and recognizing them makes me feel loved and somehow the hard things just seem to be a bit more manageable, they don't go away, but I can handle them. I have so much to be thankful for and am looking forward to a new year to grow and explore and push myself out of my cozy, comfort zone and into new territory!
I have a couple of cards to share with you today, this first uses Prima paper and a Glitz Design cardstock sticker. The chipboard heart in a circle is an oldie but a goodie from American Crafts.
The stamps used are from Papertrey Ink's Embellishments and Love & Marriage stamp sets. The scrunched seam binding is from My Craft Spot, the trim is vintage, and the pearls are from Melissa Frances.
This next card was made for Emma's Paperie and has the sweetest sentiment I have ever come across. It is from a chipboard piece found in a collection from Prima...I just love what it says, reminds me of how I feel about my beautiful mom.
You can find a complete supply list HERE at Emma's Paperie if you feel like doing some shopping!
Lastly, one of many hanging heart pincushions I have in the works. I'll be listing them in my etsy shop here in the next few days. I love the warm colors in this one.
Little lovelies, crocheted by my mom.
Hope your day is wonderful! Thanks for stopping by.

You make such beautiful things. I wish I had a knack for it myself. Maybe if i continue reading your blog it will rub off on me ;)

Hi there, did you put up the first red heart pincushion on etsy? The warm toned red one? I was eyeing that pincushion and waiting for it to go in your shop. I saw others on etsy, but not this one....Such lovely work you do - but that one just spoke volumes to me! :-) I am waiting to purchase one of these treasures so I have a little piece of your beautiful artistry displayed in my very own home! Thanks for sharing!
