End of August! Big things coming for September

I've been out of the blogging office for the summer due to my son breaking his leg.  I have worked on some cards and decorative items when I had some free time.

August with Close To My Heart has been fun!  There is new paper, embellishments, stamps and the big lead up to the new catalog/idea book next month :-)

The stamp of the month for August is Framed S1508.  

Recommended Blocks:

1" × 3 1/2" (Y1002)

2" × 3 1/2" (Y1009)

For the card below, I used the Framed stamp set plus Picture My Life cards, color ready ribbon and green enamel & glitter duos.

For this card I used the new CTMH Artistry Cricut cartridge, the Framed stamp set, glitter paper and our NEW Zoe paper pack along with more green glitter triangles.
