Using the Wonderland papers and Stickease from Close to my Heart, I created a winter card.

The dangling snowflake is a Stickease sticker with Liquid Glass and a gem placed in the center.  "Snow Days" is stamped in the lower left corner from the Snow Days stamp set. 


Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please continue to Lisa's blog next.

World Cardmaking Day with Operation Write Home

Welcome to Curls & Grins Creations!  To read more about us and our projects, please scroll down to our previous post.  Without further delay, here is our contribution...

This card is created using Close to my Heart products: Roxie papers, Remarkable Wreath stamp set, Holiday Trinkets stamp set, Kraft borders, Cranberry grosgrain ribbon, and Desert Sand ink for the edging.  The wreath is stamped in Chocolate ink and the berries are done with Cranberry embossing.  The sentiment is done with gold embossing.

Thank you for visiting our little world!  We would love for you to become a blog follower and a Facebook fan so we can stay in touch!

Flowers (and Cards) for a Family

Every year around this time, my girls and I sell Christmas cards so the girls can earn some spending money for Christmas gifts.  This year our family has agreed to put all of our profits towards our adoption which is progressing quickly.  We will continue to sell our handmade flowers - lapel pins, hair clips or scrapbook-ready for $2 each.  We are also selling Christmas cards for $2 each. Cards and flowers can be customized to your requests of colors and sentiments. These prices include shipping.  We also appreciate your prayers for our family and the little boy we are adopting.  You can read more about our adoption story on our Facebook page or place your order at curlsandgrins.weebly.com.  Oh, and the proceeds from your purchases at my Close to my Heart site also go towards our adoption.
