be my valentine

Hello Friends,

As you will no doubt know - I am a fan of Heather Summers.  Not only is she very creative, she is very wonderful too.  What a bonus to have a friend who is creative and wonderful.

I have been wondering what to give my kiddos for Valentines and once I hit Heather's blog, I knew I didn't have to look any further. 

Look how cute these are - Thanks for your inspiration as always Heather.

One of my favorite products in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon.  No more having to make your own!

Stampin' Day!

Hello Friends,

Every so often we are invited to attend "Stampin' Day" here at work.  We have the opportunity to make a card or a project.

Yesterday I had a HUGE migraine that lasted the entire day (hence no post from me yesterday :( so I was unable to make this cute project.  My friend Julie surprised me by making it for me so when I came into work this morning - it was sitting right here on my desk.  THANK YOU JULIE.

Here is the insert which is in the pockets.

P.S I love you

Hello Friends,

I LOVE Valentine's day!  It is one of my favorite days of the year.  This year I will celebrate 10 years with Lance on this day :)

Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler was my color combination for todays card.  The "First Edition" Designer Series Paper is a great paper to work with especially when you need to fill in blank space.  It adds a lot of character to a card.  I ran the upper part of the cardstock through the Big Shot using the "Elegant Lines" Embossing Folder.

P.S. I love you is a huge hit in the Occasions Mini.  I stamped the 2 images in Cherry Cobbler ink and used the heart punch, adhered it with a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and pearls.
P.S. I Love You - Clear-Mount Stamp 125462 Price: $27.95

Forever & Always

Hello Friends,

There isn't a day that goes by when I don't think about my Parents.  As Valentine's day approaches, I think of how my Dad would send a card to my Mom every year on this day and write in it "Will you be my VALentine?" (Her name is Val :)

I have created this card with her in mind.  I am going to send it to her for Valentine's day with a nice message in it.  I love "Loving Thoughts" stamp set in the Occasions mini catalog.  I chose the 'Forever and Always' sentiment for obvious reasons x

Another of my favorite sets in the mini is the "Apothecary Art" stamp set. (Picture a cute jar filled with jelly or candy with a cute label attached to it :) I was stoked to see the Framelits Dies when I received my mini catalog.  I used the Labels Collection. I LOVE the Embossing Folders and chose the Framed Tulips for this card. I used Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black for this card.  With the addition of pearls and ribbon, it turned out to be a simple yet elegant card.
