This Close To My Heart Paper Suite lives up to it’s name of Hello Lovely, because boy, is it lovely! And I really enjoyed crafting with this Lovely paper and creating lovely creations.
Though I must say I was worried that I would not have anything new to share with you for this paper suite as I have made & shared quite a bit already since Oct last year when I first got introduced to this Paper Suite at out Close To My Heart Australasian Convention.
I decided to use one of the cut apart Picture My Life Cards that come in the paper range. One of them is a frame which would normally be used for your journalling or for your title in your pocket Scrapbooking, but I thought it made a perfect feature for a card.
I cut out the middle of the Picture My Life Card and used it as a frame on my card and decorated around the frame with the Hello Lovely flower compliments. Inside the frame is the birthday saying: One in a Million,. The stamp is actually designed to be used on the inside of your card but that doesn’t mean you cannot use it on the outside!
I choose one of the printed papers from the Hello Lovely Paper Suite, that was similar in colours as the frame to be the background of the card & to tie the design all together. What I really liked was how all the blue/greens of Sea Glass, are the main colour focus instead of the Sorbet colours that I have been using mostly when I have created with this paper.
I hope you enjoyed what I created today & if you did so, please leave a comment before you head over to the very talented: Tanya Armitage: Happy Paper Crafting who I am sure will showcase something absolutely wonderful with the Hello Lovely Paper Range!
Enjoy the hop & thanks so much for taking the time to check out these ideas with this month’s feature on the Close To My Heart’s Hello Lovely Paper Range…see you soon & keep creating!

That PML card just lends itself really well to a stamped sentiment doesn’t it? And those flower clusters..ahh.. I would be a very happy camper to get a card like that in the mail. 😍

Thank you Nell I was very happy when I saw that the stamp could sit inside the PML card and then rest just came together.

This is such a great card- I love that the sentiment is the focal point but there are also lots of beautiful embellishments.
