I love Valentine’s Day. It was the one holiday my father decorated for when I was a kid and it is close to my Anniversary. A special time of year most definitely. The heart paper is by S.E.I., the rabbit stamp is by High Hopes, and the sentiment is by Penny Black. I used my Cricut (George and Basic Shapes) to cut out the heart and my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss it.
I’m entering this card into the following challenges-
Scrap & Stamp- Hand Cutting (the rabbit’s are cut out and 3D)
Stamp Something- New Something (both stamps and the heart jewels are new)
ABC Challenge- L is for Layering (lots of those!)
Please do not copy any of my work you find here on my site. I take a lot of time coming up with ideas and putting them in to action. I’ve come across some copycat work that is said to be the users own design and/or patterns. Geeze, at least give me credit! It’s very rude., very rude indeed. Please be inspired by my work- just don’t steal it.
I finally finished my first round of baby thank you cards. I had multiple ideas so I decided to make three different designs. I hope to get the others done soon. I used a Penny Black stamp.
I’m entering this card into the Stamp Something Challenge- thank you something.
I’ve been debating whether or not to make my own Christmas cards this year or to cop out like last year and just buy them. I have a excuse this year since I am having a baby…at least a lame excuse. Buying printed cards with a family picture on them are just as good, right? They are at least cheaper and don’t cost extra to mail. I am constantly making cards, dreaming about cards, thinking of ideas for cards… There are so many stinking cute Christmas stamps and diecuts that I just wouldn’t feel right if I cop out two years in a row! I’ve sold all the other cards I’ve made up until this point but no more! Suck it up baby and get to it! Like it’s a chore to do something you love.I think I just overwhelm myself by thinking of everyone and their dog I “should” send a card to. (BTW, I sent out a total of two Halloween cards. Sad.)
I am entering this card into a few challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge- based on a song title or lyrics
Sleigh Ride-
“Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, ‘Yoo-hoo!’
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you…”
I love Christmas!!
Just Christmas & Birthday Cards- sketch
Cupcake Craft Challenge- Snow Much Fun
The stamp is “coming your way” by Penny Black. All patterned papers are from Pebbles Inc.
