SHARING FROM THE HEART BLOG HOP

Welcome to August's From the Heart Blog Hop!.  If you've arrived here from Jody's blog, your on the right path.  There are 22 of us involved in this month's hop.  So settle down with your favaourite drink and enjoy what everyone has created.  Don't worry - this is a circular hop, so if you've started with mine, just keep going until you get back here.

This month we could use this month's stamp if the month - Wicked, school related items, or the new products.  I chose to use the new products.




These 2 card are exactly the same, and I used exactly the same products.  The only difference was I used the backside of the new B&T paper for the second card.  I love how versatile the new paper is - it's sturdy enough to use for card bases by itself and it has a completely different pattern on the back.  Not to mention the zip strips along the top.  One side of the zip strip tells you what paper pack it is and what colours are used in the kit, while the back side of the stip is a decorative strip of paper that is different from the rest of the paper.  It's perfect for using as an embellishment like a ribbon!

Products used:  Roxie Papers, Just blooms flutter shapes, My Acrylix Love Life, Desert Sand ink, Smoothie Ink.
Pattern:  Wishes: Geometric

Now it's off to Elizabeth's blog to see what she's created.

Very cute cards! Changing the papers around does change the feel of the card, but both are darling.

Those butterflies are wonderful! Very cute on your card. What a great way to show using both sides of the paper, TFS!

The butterflies are great accent for the swirl. The rosy plaid makes me think "preppy"!
