Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog: Recycle & Reuse

 
This week at Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog, it's all about recycling and reusing.  I had a some major creative block with this challenge... So much so that I ended up dreaming about it one night.  I dreamed that it was taking a very long time to find something to use, I searched all over my house, my neighbors house, my sisters house and NOTHING.  Then I came home and saw a beautiful card with white/clear/sparkly flowers on my work table!  I apparently had already made the card and didn't know it.
 
So... when I woke up that morning, as I picked up my home a little, I searched for something that would help me make those flowers. It was when I picked up my trash box from my workroom... that I saw this clear bag that I was about to throw out, that I realized.... this clear plastic bag was the perfect thing to make my flowers.
 
All I did was cut the bag into long strips (1 1/2" wide) and used my favorite new toy (Glubers) to twist and position the plastic strips around the Gluber to make the flower.  After they were done, I applied Liquid Glass and sprinkled Prisma Glitter over them... and Viola!!!  
Flowers wouldn't be complete unless they have leaves, so I also cut out some leaves and also added the details with the liquid glass and Prisma glitter.
Now take a look around YOUR space and see what you can recycle and reuse.  Convert your trash into beautiful artwork that you will be proud to showcase.  Remember to snap a picture of it and link it to Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog and be eligible to win a prize and be part of our "Top 10" for the month of April.
Remember to use Close To My Heart products to be eligible to win.

Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog : April Showers / Spring Blossoms

 

This weeks at Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog our challenge is to create something with the theme of Spring Flowers / April Showers.  I was thinking that you have seen a lot of flowers from me and not enough rain.  I have to tell you that I LOVE rainy days!!!  I thinks it's because I live in San Diego, California and the fact that we don't get many rainy days in the year, that makes me enjoy them even more.  Rainy days make me think of cozy days, staying in with my kids and husband, fireplace going and comfort food. 

The top picture was taken to with a dark background and I used a flash so the liquid glass can be more visible.  The bottom picture was taken with a light background with NO flash, so the liquid glass with prisma glitter could be more visible for you.

 

If it seems that I have been using a lot of clear cards for my projects lately... well you are correct. I've been trying to get out of making conventional/traditional cards, but keeping in line with CTMH products only.  So... for now I will use up all my clear cards by altering them a little at a time.

 As you can see that I did use a positive sentiment for rain on the card and when you open the card, there is a little cute surprise.   I also like leaving room for a personal message which makes this card more personal.
 Need some more inspiration to create your own card for this weeks challenge?...Then take a peek at what the rest of the DT created:
We have two new amazingly generous and talented sponsors this month. LeAnne Dudley and Michelle Zimmerman

Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog : Sketch



Hello Everyone!
This week our challenge on the Heart 2 Heart Blog is  to create a card using this sketch.

I was in the middle of a crop of 7 Close To My Heart consultants when I remembered that I had NOT started my card for the week.  So I put all the birthday cards that I was making for the Divas and got to my sketch.  I kept the them of birthday and I love, love, love the Sweetheart paper and I just think that cupcakes go great with this paper packet.  I used a combination of cardstock and our clear cards to make the circle as a window.


So guess what everybody?....
For this week only, Heart 2 Heart is doing a prize for one lucky person who enters this weeks challenge.
So hurry, create something amazing and uploaded to us at H2H within this week and you may be the lucky winner this week.  Can't wait to see what you all create!!!
April Sponsors will be announced soon, so check back to see who April sponsor will be.
