CTMH Sarita Handmade Card

Are you stuck in the winter doldrums?  The Close To My Heart Sarita paper packet (X7171B) is the perfect combination of bright and cheery colors to lift your spirits.  That is why I saved it for all of my January Workshops.  The combination of Lagoon, Gypsy and Cotton Candy along with the terrific patterns is just what we need to chase the cold.  This is another card in a series of 6 completed for my Crafting In The Country workshop.
01-17-14 Card 2
This card has just a little strip of Sarita but it works perfectly with stamp.  The Hot Air Balloon and sentiment are from a set called “Lifting Spirits” and was in the Holiday Gift Guide.  In addition to featuring Sarita this month, I also worked with a great deal of Baker’s Twine.  I love the CTMH Baker’s Twine.  It is more substantial that many of the other brands out there so it added a strong accent to your projects.  It comes in a variety of coordinating colors and is a bargain for $4.95.  By the way….  how do you like the angled embossed mat behind the balloon?  The CTMH Spring Summer Idea Book is set to be released on February 1st.  Hint, Hint, Hint… 
Now that the flurry of Holiday activity is over, I find that it is fun to get back on track by creating something special.  CTMH has all the perfect supplies you need to make something special.  Stop by my website if you would like to check out more of the goodies.  For Now, Happy Crafting!
