Paper Trail for August!! Old and New!

How exciting!!!  The new 2011 Close to My Heart Fall/Winter Idea Book is here!!!  If you got here from Pam's blog you have already seen some fabulous new ideas.  I had the opportunity to play in my studio before my family vacation and just love the new exciting papers, color combinations, stamps, and embellishments.  Most exciting is the new exclusive Cricut/CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge!  I can't wait to get mine!  In the mean time, is something old:  an acrylic circle card using Fanfare papers and the Cupcake Sprinkles stamp set.  If you look closely at the photos, you'll see that I let the inside paper peek through the front.  I love these acrylic cards because of the "windows" you can create.  The second card I made uses the colors from the new Elemental papers in the new book: Desert Sand, Olive, Pacifica, and Sorbet.  The new paper theme has wonderfully versatile patterned papers.  Don't you just love the easy, bright colors?  If you want to see more wonderful ideas, hop over to Lynne's blog!
