Love Note Tags

 For this project I glued together 3 craft envelopes. I then cut out an assortment of tags from the CTMH Artiste Cartridge. I used the stamp set from the Whoo's your Valentine Special to decorate the the tags and the cover envelope.

Cards that tuck

 Awhile back I saw this video on My Craft Channel by Heidi Swapp- I just love all the cards and the concept of cards that stayed closed/tucked. These are my recreations of what she made. I also have a new found love for my cuttlebug- I recently got several new embossing folders some that you can see here. A zebra print and the latices work.

Book Review: The Black Lyon

Darkly handsome and rich beyond imagining, the bold English conqueror was called Lyon for his-lion like fierceness. He had no match among enemies, or women ... until he met Lyonene, the green-eyed beauty whose fiery spirit matched his own. Through a whirlwind romance and stormy marriage, she endured every peril to be by his side... until jealousy and vicious lies drove her across the Irish Sea and into grave danger. One man could save her -- only the fierce Black Lyon had the courage to destroy the ruthless plot that had driven them apart and threatened the bond of love they had vowed could never be broken.

I liked this book OK, I had a real problem with the jealousy. Ranulf is a very handsome man and he meets Lyonene, falls for her instantly. They become married and then he becomes jealous of every man who even looks at her. So much that he decides it's too much to handle and he doesn't want to be married to her any more. Lyonene has other plans and those plans get her into dangerous situations. The adventure in this book is great, but I had a hard time with Ranulf being so jealous, it was hard for me to look past.

Gift Bag

One of the best features of the CTMH Artiste Cartridge is all the bags you can cut. This one is super fun. I added some CTMH burlap ribbon and a flower embellishment to finish it off.
