Roxie Birthday Card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #36

This card is for my 15 year old niece Ellie.  It was made following the Atlantic Hearts Sketch #36 using retired Close To My Heart papers from the Roxie kit along with 2 individual stamps called Heartfelt Birthday Wish and a Little Gift with Cocoa Ink, Hollyhock Marker and Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel.


Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that I followed:


I'm also entering this into Tuesday Morning Sketches #230--Anything Goes, Seize the Birthday and Keep It Simple--Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

H2H Challenge--"Brown Paper Packages Tied up with String"

The Heart 2 Heart challenge this week comes right from a song--can you guess which song it is from?  "Brown Paper Packages Tied Up with String" is our theme this week and you can interpret it any way you want--just be sure to use some Close To My Heart products!    (Answer at the bottom of the post--hint it is from a Broadway musical).

Close To My Heart Products Used:

Cranberry CS
Pear and Partridge paper (retired)
Kraft paper
Burlap Ribbon
Harvest Baker's Twine
Bronze Shimmer Trim
A Little Gift stamp--paper pieced from Kraft, Cranberry and Champagne)
Chocolate Ink
Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel

I've got a brown package and lots of string--I removed a few strands of burlap to create spaces to weave the twine through and left it ragged on the edges.   How will you be inspired to create using our theme this week?  Please use a direct link to enter here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs.

Answer:  the phrase comes from the song "My Favorite Things" from the musical "Sound of Music".  
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
  
I don't know about you but I'll be singing it in my head all night now!
