Hang In There!

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for me to share a little Heartfelt Creations inspiration! This week I'm using more of the Sugar Hollow Collection, this time with the You're A Hoot Set.

These little owls are so cute! Love how the little one is hanging upside down!

I colored the owl image with pencils and mineral spirits and die cut it with the matching die. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer papers which I added some Prills to the centers.

The oval is made with the designer papers and white cardstock using the Eyelet Oval Die. Love this die, so pretty! I stamped the sentiment directly on the pink oval. The green background was also taken from the designer papers.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designer this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday #218  - Anything Goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon #133 - Show Me the Pink with Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by to visit! I hope I leave you a little inspired!

Blessings!

Remembering Penny O'Dell

Good morning friends,

Today on the Heartfelt Creations Blog there is a tribute to our designer, Penny O'Dell, who passed away on December 13th. You can see her tribute on the blog here. Penny was such a sweet lady and will be missed by us all. The HC Blog is showing some of Penny's beautiful creations and I'd like to show you a couple of her projects I particularly love for you here.

Special Day Floral Frame

I love this altered frame, such gorgeous flowers Penny made with the Vintage Floret and Delicate Asters.


Enchanted Mum Jewelry Ensemble

Penny used the Enchanted Mum Designer Papers here to create this jewelry set. She cut the papers and rolled them to create "beads". So clever!


Inspired Scroll

I love how Penny did the mini scroll here using the designer papers and word stamp. So beautiful!

Those are just three of the many wonderful creations by Penny. We will miss her beautiful style, but more importantly will miss her sweet spirit and friendship.

You can read more about Penny on her blog here.

Blessings!

Kathy
