The die cuts and stamp are all from LaLa Land Crafts.  I used Copic Markers for the kitty and ribbons on the presents.

Cut it Up Challenge #217 ~ Back in Time

Hi Crafty Friends,
Cut it Up Challenge Blog has a great new challenge for you this week.We want you to go back in time (prior to 2000) and share something that represents your decade.  It can be an image, icon, design, color scheme, whatever you think represents your chosen time period.
I've chosen the 80s!  I loved the positive thinking, bright colors and shapes, and overall fun times.

Can you get the song out of your now?  And, yes, I wore cat-eye glasses when I was young.
The stamp and dies for this project are from Jaded Blossom.  
I hope you'll play along with us for this challenge.Our prize sponsor for this challenge isLAWN FAWN.

Sweet Thanks

 Hi Crafty Friends,

It's Larelyn from Handmade From My Heart.  I hope your New Year is off to a great start!

I wanted to make Thank You cards for some special gifts we received during the holidays.  

When my daughters were young, the rule at home was that after Christmas Day they couldn't play with their new toys until their thank you notes were written.  Of course Santa always included the note cards in their stockings!  Sadly, for most young people thank you notes are a thing of the past but I still love making and receiving them.

Here are my cards:

I used these Jaded Blossom products:

Rectangle Dies 1

Rectangle Dies 2

Peppermint Candy Die

Lollipops Galore
