A New Year Begins!

It's the start of a new year and it is full of new opportunities! I hope one of them for you is the opportunity to create some beautiful paper crafts! If that is the case, then you will want to be sure to come back at the first of the month to view the Close to my Heart Stamp of the Month blog hop. This month we are featuring "Cross-Stitch Wishes"; a set of 13 stamps. So, sit back, relax and enjoy all the beautiful artwork you are about to see.

Whether you have come from Jen's blog or are just starting here, be sure to make the complete circle. You're in for some incredible inspiration!



This month I have made a 6 x 6 card using the Log Cabin pattern from Originals. The B&T paper is from the "Babycakes" paper pack.  I also used CTMH's ruler as a guide for the faux stitching. What a great tool!
