Changes coming

 Hello,  Just wanted to pass along some information concerning my Etsy shop, in a week or two I will be closing out my shop.     Changes with Etsy tax regulations has forced me to close down.    I was hoping that I would have been a permanent part of Etsy, and that I wouldn't ever have to make this hard decision to do this, but it has come up.      I did so appreciate my customers.     I was also running a challenge blog, have done this for years since 2017.    There is a bit of a transition as my blog will no longer hold challenges, but I will still be creating and making cards and different things using my images to help keep my name out there.    If you already follow me on Createful Heart Cards blog I certainly appreciate it..... however if you haven't yet, please consider doing so!     

Just wanted to give an update...  I will still be maintaining as much as possible my other blogs like this one.    I do have a job that keeps me busy.   

Thank you for taking the time to read this.     Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too!

Hugs,  Mary

You're Beautiful

 Hi Crafters!   

Today I would like to introduce our new Hettie Hedgehog design,  Hettie's Sunflower Friend, which is a ladybug of course!   

Hettie

I'm usually always making cards, but thought I would make a cute little hanging sign, not sure what to call it, more like a picture of sorts... lol... well you get the idea.

To make this cute creation, I used a basic thin cardboard for the backing.  Red dot paper from Hobby Lobby

Blue criss cross design paper from Hobby Lobby

Printed my outlined image onto lightweight card stock,  I used a combination of Tri-Blend Spectrum noir markers and Prismacolor pencils to color in the image.

After the image was to my liking,  I added in the clouds, using Cloud stencil from Paper Roses, which can be found @ Scrapbook.com

Cloud color - Carolina Blue ink pad - Close To My Heart

Embellishments -  red & white buttons from my stash

The sentiment - Close To My Heart

Yellow ribbon - Cindy's Laces (Lighthouse stop n shop)
