Smitten

Today’s project is a card I am absolutely IN LOVE with! I have been wanting to try out what crafters are calling ‘triple time stamping’ and I can tell you…I will be doing it a lot more.
This card was made using January’s SOTM; Happy Valentine’s Day, and just solid cardstock.  I wanted only one pop of color to bring the attention to the center. I am entering this card into this week's Color Dare which is to use black and white, with one pop of color!  Hope you like it!

Color Dare & Seize the Birthday

Good morning all! Today I have another card for you! It is inspired by two challenge blogs again… Color my heart Dare, and Seize the Birthday!  Seize the Birthday is using the same sketch as last week, but making your card masculine.  Color Dare colors are Indian Corn Blue, and Ruby.  I don’t currently have anything in the Ruby color, so I used Cranberry which is very close.
Here’s my Superhero birthday card!

Dynamic Duos & Seize the Birthday!

Today I have a fun birthday card based on the challenges over at Dynamic Duos, and Seize the Birthday.

IMG_9891 copy

The colors this week at Dynamic Duos are So Saffron, and Certainly Celery. But, since I don’t have either of those actual colors I used some similar CTMH colors: Sweet Leaf, and Crème Brulee.

I hope you enjoy!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Good Morning! Today I have an beautiful Valentine’s card made using the retiring ‘La Belle Vie’ paper packet, and the January SOTM.  I can’t say that I have great coloring skills, but I am working on it. 

I used a card sketch from the CTMH ‘Make it from Your Heart vol. 1’ Instruction book.  It is  a great leaping-off point with lots of scrapbook and card layouts. It even has cutting guides.  Just add your imagination and own spin to make it yours!

Easy Valentines

Some of you may have seen this picture already.  I was just too excited and posted on Facebook already. I just wanted to let you know that this easy Valentine project was a BIG HIT with my 5 yr old.  We used the treat tubes in the Whoo’s your Valentine kit to make these cute Hershey kissed valentines for her Kindergarten class.  (Yes, I’ll admit it, I bought more than one kit to have enough for her whole class.)  The tags were cut out using the Artiste cricut cartridge, and then I showed my little girl how to stamp it, and she went to town! I still need to wrap the tags, but I am so glad to have her Valentines ready to go since I will be about 38weeks pregnant by then.

Project Life: Title Page

Well, I decided to jump on the Project Life bandwagon this year, but I have decided to only use the paper, stamps, and embellishments that I already have. That means I will be using a lot of CTMH products, as well as using up some of the other brands of stuff I have.

Be coming back every couple of weeks for my Project Life updates….and right now I have the title page I made for this project.

IMG_9876 copy

For this page I used a page protector from WeR Memory Keepers that has 9 4”x4” openings.  I have some of the Becky Higgins page protectors as well as some CTMH ones that I will also be using throughout the year to mix up the look of my layouts. I also used up some scraps of my Stella paper pack, and a few stickers from the Stickease collection.  These are retiring at the end of the month, and are some of my favorite color combos!

 

Remember, every month I will have a Mystery Hostess Rewards party on my website! For every $25+ order that is placed you will be entered to win that month’s free and 1/2 price items! But, the party needs to reach $150 for there to be any rewards so spread the word! January’s party is scheduled to end on the 24th. Just click to join on the home page!

You’re Sweet

This week I wanted to show you how cute the Whoo’s Your Valentine kit really is! I used it to make this sweet card following this week’s Mojo Monday sketch #274.
