Heidi Swapp's FAVORITE THINGS is at Paper Issues!

seriously, the Heidi Swapp "Favorite Things" line is SO happy and right up my alley, i bought the paper plus a slew of coordinating things and i just want to roll around in it.  it's gorgeous.

i made these two cards and am sharing them for our new issue at Paper Issues - it's called "Mum's the Word" and we're looking for projects related to flowers, mothers, quiet, words, basically anything that could be even LOOSELY related to the theme, plus anything using product from our awesome sponsor, Doodlebug Design! 

since my two cards have giant and lovely flowers on them from the Ephemera die cuts pack, i'm throwing them into the mix!  i also used the Puffy gloss shapes stickers on both...  aw, heck, i'm just gonna show you!

first, cut squares from the 6x6 paper pad and clustered everything else to make a pretty, sprinkly mess:

the sequins and heart clothespin from my stash..  do you not flippin' LURVE the transparencies in this pack?

next, background paper from Pink Paislee's "Color Wash", a couple of things from my stash (including a chunk of wood, the flair and journaling tag), some inky goodness, and more clustery fun:

i am on a mission to de-stash some pieces that i've held onto for WAY. TOO. LONG.  i was able to use two of them on this.  LULLZ.  yep, TWO.  clearly i need to make more STUFF!

so.  LINK UP!  your projects can be new or old, as long as you link back to us in your post.  you could win a SWEET prize from Doodlebug Design (and trust me, their new Kraft in Color line is FAN-FLIPPIN'-TASTIC - i am hoarding every single piece right now!). 

here's the stuff i used:
