Veranda is another beautiful paper pack by Close to My Heart. This fabulous paper pack uses some of the best of best that CTMH has to offer when it comes to natural colors! 
Here is another paper kit by CTMH. This one is called Caboodle! I absolutely LOVE THIS ONE! If you look in previous posts, I use this paper back A LOT! 
These are some fabulous layouts produced {unfortunately not by me} with the Topstitch paper and sticker pack. You can order these exclusive products through me by emailing me at tahorton@hotmail.com. Close To My Heart is coming out with a fabulous (and yes, I can say that because I saw that) catalog so make sure you take advantage of these papers before the new catalog premiers!
Here is a fun layout I did. I pulled together two of my favorite techniques, buttons, and fake stitching, yes you heard me, Fake!
I am working on a feature of fun and easy ways to use buttons. If you are like me, you have a surplus of them! This card is one idea for you, why not using them as trees? I punched a circle for the larger tree, and used two buttons for the smaller trees. I used a nice soft color of green as a strip across and as the background, and then used a complimenting ribbon to add interest. This is a fun and simple way to use your buttons while saying thanks to someone you appreciate!
