Monochromatic & A Little "Hope"!



I have two delicious projects for you today!

Now, let me introduce you to Danielle Wall's creative and beautiful projects! Danielle's blog "Neat And Tangled" is full of fresh projects and tons of cute stamp ideas! I encourage you to check out her blog, show her some love, and get inspired!

How beautiful is this card?! Danielle created it for a birthday card, but I think it could be used as a thank you card as well to express how happy someone has made you! I think the Hero Arts Basic Grey Flower Dot Pattern Cling Stamp background really sets off the rich, monochromatic look!
(Do you have trouble making simple cards? Check out the Clean & Simple Card Class for more card ideas like this one by many other designers!)

Danielle created this jar in place of a New Year's Resolution- it's a hope jar! Just write down hopes you have for 2012 and place them in the jar.. keep it near by so you can always remember what you're dreaming/wishing/praying for for 2012!

A dusting with Perfect Pearls makes it even more shiny and able to catch your eye!

Hope you enjoyed these two projects from Danielle, and I wish you all the luck with your hopes for 2012!
