When I starting looking for my Lucky paper to make a card for the Perfect Pair special, I had a hard time finding it!   That's because I used nearly every scrap I had from this pack.   I got my very first glimpse of this paper before it was released to the public when I went on the Close To My Heart Spa retreat.   This paper is perfect for fall and masculine projects! Here is my card I made using Lucky paper and this month's Stamp of the Month - Live Out Loud. Other Projects I've done with the Lucky: Paper pack: 2 Page Layouts - HERE A Retirement Card - HERE Friendship Card - HERE Birthday Card - HERE This week's Perfect Pair - Lucky Paper Pack and Lucky Stickease Available July 16-20 (or While Supplies Last) FREE with an online order of $75 (retail value: $17.90)

Finally I got some MOJO!  I was beginning to have withdrawals from my scraproom and Mojo Monday was just the fix I needed.   For this week's Mojo I wanted to use a stampset that I haven't used yet.    Sitting in my box all nice and clean was my Bingo Alphabet set.   I loved this set the moment I saw it and it was one of the first stamps I purchased from Close To My Heart's new Spring/Summer Idea Book.  But I still had not used it!  This stamp coordinates so well with the Lucky paper that I decided to use paper from this pack for my card.    Here is this week's Mojo sketch:                   Here is my Birthday card using this sketch: All Products are Close To My Heart RECIPE: Lucky Level 2 Paper (X7137B) Bingo Alphabet (D1478) Kraft Cardstock (Z1375) Sunset Cardstock (X5758) Lucky Level 2 Assortment (Z1356) Kraft Color Ready Border (Z1377) Natural Hemp (Z280) Sunset Mini Medley Collec...

I'm a little behind getting to my Mojo Monday challenge - there seemed to be so much going on this week.   A co-worker is retiring next week and I was asked to make him a card.   This just gave me an excuse to get my Mojo on!    Here is the Mojo design:                                   Since this co-worker is male, I needed something with a masculine look and what better paper to use than Lucky!  This is the paper we've been working with at my monthly Hostess Clubs.  I also wanted to use some of my coordinating Lucky Level 2 Assortments.  These are perfect accents for the Lucky paper with many various die-cut chipboard shapes with unique designs.  I found one with a clock with I thought was perfect.   I added a couple of wooden buttons and used hemp in place of ribbon.  The sentiment is actually from the Card Chatter Birthday stamp but I only us...

When you think of March you may think Lucky.  That just happens to be the name of this month's workshop but it's not GREEN like the popular St. Patrick's Day color!   This Lucky paper is full of warm colors of Outdoor Denim, Sunset, Olive and Desert Sand.  At my workshop we will be creating layouts (or cards) with the new Lucky Workshop on the Go Kit.   This kit includes a package of Wooden Buttons, hemp, an exclusive stampset (not sold separately) and an instruction brochure along with the Lucky Level 2 paper pack for creating a layout and 6 cards.

This month, Close To My Heart's Stamp of the Month is Friendship.  I decided to get away from the traditional colors of Red and Pink for Valentines Day.   I wanted something a little different.   I chose to make my cards using the new Lucky paper from Close To My Heart.   I love the colors of Outdoor Denim, Desert Sand and Sunset. The square card is a 6x6 card using the Background Bar pattern from Originals .  The smaller card is a 3x6 card using the patter Name Plate from Wishes .
