HEARTFELT CREATIONS - OCTOBER 31, 2012


EXCITING NEWS!  I am happy to tell you that I will be continuing on the Heartfelt Creations Design Team for another six month term.  I truly love designing for HC and am honored to be able to continue working with their wonderful products and the other designers on the team.  In addition to products I truly believe are some of the best on the market, I also have the privilege of working for and with some amazing people.  Linda (HC Owner) and Emma Lou (HC Creative Director) are truly wonderful, caring women and the entire staff of HC are dedicated individuals.  I also look forward to bringing you more of my creations and designs in the coming months.  Thank you to all who voted for me to continue on the team.

It also has been an exciting week in our household since my daughters' marching band, the Fairfield Marching Pride, was 3rd out of 20 bands at Semi-State Competition and they have advanced to the State Marching Band Finals.  On Saturday they will march at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.  Malinda is a senior and Johnna is a Freshman so this will be their last performance together.  It is truly an honor for the band to make it to state and it will be exciting to watch them perform this weekend!

For my Heartfelt Creations project this week I used products from the HC Delicate Asters Collection.  I colored the stamped image with Copics to coordinate with the Delicate Asters Paper Collection, added some Icicle Art Glitter for a little sparkle and finished the card with some gorgeous May Arts Ribbon.


Make sure and check out the HC Blog this week to see the other great projects by the other Design Team members and for the big announcement of who will be continuing on the HC Design Team and who was chosen from the Semi-Finalist to be on the HC Design Team for the new term.  Have a good week!

HEARTFELT CREATIONS - OCTOBER 24, 2012

 
I hope you are having a good week!  It is a busy time of year at our house.  My daughters' high school marching band, The Fairfield Marching Pride, received a gold rating at their Regional Competition in Lafayette, IN,  so this Saturday they will be competing in the Semi-State Competition in Indianapolis.  The top ten out of twenty bands in Class C then will advance to the State Finals next week.  Hopefully, they will be in the top ten so they will qualify to perform at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.  The band has been busy practicing and the parents have been busy helping with props, food and transportation.  Regardless of whether the band advances or not, it is a great accomplishment that they have made it to Semi-State and I am so proud of my girls and the entire band for all their hard work this year!

I have an elegant, but easy tag to share with you today created with Heartfelt Creations stamps.  This would be great to tie on a Birthday gift for a special person.  I used vintage seam binding as the trim and I added green polka dot washi tape for a fun embellishment.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS VINTAGE FLORET COLLECTION

Good morning!  Today is my Mom's Birthday so she and my dad are coming over for supper tonight.  I am going to surprise her with her favorite dessert pumpkin whoopie pies.  The girls are so busy with marching band practice that they will have about one hour window of time between band practice and youth group at church to celebrate with Grandma, but we will make the most of it!
 
I have two more projects to share with you this week featuring the Heartfelt Creations' beautiful new Design Paper the Vintage Floret Collection.  My first project features another vintage portrait I purchased at the local antique mall.  I hand made all the flowers with the new HC Vintage Floret stamps and dies and also a few with the HC Delicate Asters stamps and dies.  I stamped and die cut them using the HC Vintage Floret Design Paper.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS

Good morning!  It sure is beginning to look and feel like Fall here in Northern Indiana.  We are also busy with Fall activities, like attending our daughters marching band competitions every Saturday and going to home high school football games to watch them march at the half time show.
 
It is Wednesday again so I have two more projects to share with you from Heartfelt Creations, but first I wanted to remind you of some important information.  For me to continue on the Heartfelt Creations Design Team I need your vote.  I truly love being on the Design Team and would love to have the opportunity to create for them for another 6 month term, so if you also would like me to continue sharing weekly Heartfelt Creations projects please vote for me.  Also to find my name you need to look at the favorite Designers sections (not the Semi-Finalist) because this is where you vote for those of us who will continue from the current Design Team.  This is the quote from the Heartfelt Blog that you need to look for to vote: 
"Vote for your favorite Designers: When we announce a new design team call that also means that we have a tough time deciding which of the current designers continue on the HC design team. We are giving you the opportunity to get involved and vote for 5 or more of your current favorite design team members. You can CLICK HERE and submit your vote. When you vote, you will also be entered into a drawing to be eligible to win a $50 HC Gift Certificate. You can only vote one time and you have to select 5 or more to be eligible to participate. Voting ends on October 17th, 2012."
 
Now here are my Heartfelt Creations projects for the week.  Both cards are showcasing the newest HC release the Delicate Aster Collection:
