Nan's Creating Place

Earth tones are my go to colors and Pemberley paper pack screams earth tones.  Here are some fun cards made with the Pemberley paper pack from Close to My Heart. This paper pack combined with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge made card making so inviting.  I just kept going. The color ready garden wooden shapes are new to Close to my Heart and to me.  I found them very easy to work with.  You can lead them nature or apply ink with a sponge dauber.   Let me know what you think of the Pemberley paper pack.  Enjoyed having you stop by. Nan

GRATEFUL FOR FAMILY This is a beautiful layout to show off your family!  The accents of pearls gems and colorful resin flowers with the little banners lends to a classic touch.  Check out the papers in this kit  here in our idea book.  And if you love what you see order your kit and join us in July when we make this layout.    Hope you are doing something you enjoy today! Nan

Hello fellow crafters!      I hope everyone has been checking their calendar.  If you have then you know that we meet this coming Saturday which is April 14th!!!  For what I have planned you need to wear clothes that you won't mind getting messed up.  Chances are that you won't mess them up but better safe than sorry.      Bring your basic tools, glossy white cardstock, a non stick craft sheet, plastic gloves and a stazon ink pad.  Do not go buy any of these items.  I am just saying if you already have any of these items please bring them. Having several is helpful.      Looking forward to crafting with you on Saturday. Thanks, Nan B
