Sweet Home with Sparkly Clean Windows

I have to admit--these are the ONLY clean windows around here!

The Sweet Home card is for our DD Bethany, who has just completed a move into her new apartment. Well, almost completed. Gator, her cat, moves from our house to hers today. Gator is gonna love the clean windows there.

Sweet Home paper packet & MyStickease; Liquid Glass on the windows for a clean shine; CTMH sheer ribbon; Verve stamp sentiment inside.

Happy weekend! The sun is shining here & I'm singing praises to the Lord and doing a happy dance. Hope you are too!

Sweet Home--Lovin' It!

This new Close To My Heart paper packet has just been begging to be used, and I found the perfect photos from August when Ella's Aunt Laura came home from Turkey and when Ella and Emily played peek with a soft blanket. I can still hear their giggles {grin}.

Here's my so-simple layout using the Level 2 papers, Stickease, Barn Red marker, three itty bitty copper brads for bullet points, and a bit of waxy flax for a bow:

Sweet Home Card 2: Aren't the colors rich, rich, rich? And being double-sided, the looks you can achieve are so different!

A side view showing that I used the Barn Red marker to color the white pop dots--I just don't like it when they pop out bright white in a design! CTMH markers are great...the two different ends serve two different purposes. One to journal. One to paint.

I used the long paint brush end to reach way into the recessed areas & also to paint around the stamped, cutout flowers to make them pop out from the card front.

TTFN!

Happy Tuesday!
