Valentine - Be Mine

This is my valentine to my sweet hubby. I created while he was making dinner tonight...nothing like waiting until the last minute. LOL! 

I started with last Friday's Viva La Verve sketch challenge - perfect for playing with lots of patterned papers!

Here's my take using Verve's Love Notes set - inked up for the very first time and I also opened up my Echo Park Yours Truly 6x6 pad for the first time. (and now it probably collect dust until next year LOL!)

We had a great night. Dinner and then we watched a movie - Larry Crowne. Love both Julia Roberts & Tom Hanks!

I am also sharing my card with these challenges:

Celebrate the Occasion - #50 Valentine's Day (must use a heart)

Crafty Catz - #119 Valentines

Card Makin' Mamas - #38 - Valentine

Thanks for looking! 

Paper Makeup Stamps - Sneak Peek Day #3

{Please scroll down for my Birthday Sundaes post}

Good morning! Have you been enjoying the Paper Makeup Stamps sneak peeks? If you haven't seen any yet, click {HERE} for Day 1 for the single stamps being released and {HERE} for Day 2  to see the new Color It Winter Tag set. All the new stamps will be released tomorrow night during our release party from 9pm-11pm EST. You can join us in the forum for fun chatter, games and prizes!

Today I get to peek a new set called Hand Made and it includes both sentiments and images to include on all your handmade art.  I have to admit that I found this set challenging at first and then came up with multiple ideas but decided to go with my first - isn't it nice when what you see in your head turns out like you envisioned it? I love it when that happens!

I participate in card swaps on a few card groups that I belong to. I used the digi version of this set to create a set of cards that I can include with those cards so the person knows who sent them the swap and how to contact me if needed. I think they came out so cute!

I shrunk the scissors and made them into a top and bottom border and then I changed the color of the sentiment and rotated it on its side. The beauty of digi images is all the fun things you can do with them. This month's release will be available in both digi and rubber format. I used glue dots to attach the ribbon...I did want to staple it but I haven't used the stapler in so long that it's hiding somewhere! My room really needs a good cleaning LOL!

I hope you enjoyed my peek! Tomorrow we will be having a blog hop starting at 7 am EST and then our party tomorrow night. Be sure to join us for both!

I am also entering my project into these challenges:

Have a great day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you all had a sweet day!

This is the card I made for my husband. I found this House Mouse image in my stash so I'm not sure of the name...the paper is from Bo Bunny Crush. I love all the heart patterns in this pad.

I even decorated the inside! The stamps are from an old CTMH set. The ribbon is from American Crafts, I won it in a blog candy package from my friend Jennie a few months ago.

Delovely Retro Tulips

Here's a quick card I created last night. When I saw this week's Squigglefly challenge, I knew I had to enter, I just love tulips and these Retro Tulips are no exception.

I decided to cut into my Delovely stack and enter this week's Color Me Delovely challenge at A Crafty Little Place and also enter the Let's Go Digital challenge at Crafty Catz.

I used SC283 for my layout.

That's all for now...need to get ready for work and then tomorrow starts my 4 day weekend, woohoo!
