Happy Valentine's Day!



I'm just popping in quick to share with you more Valentine cards.  The above Valentine was made for my sweet friend, Cheryl.  Lawn Fawn dies were used for the hearts and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I'm entering this card over at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge.-(Anything Goes).


More Valentine cards...




I used Simon Says heart die and Lawn Fawn die sentiment for the first card.  For the second card, MFT products were used.  And, for the third card, Paper Sweeties products were used. 



My first card was made using the same Simon Says heart die as seen above.  My second card was made for one of my sisters.  The paper is from Doodlebug and the die was from Simon Says.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  My sweet husband is taking me away for the weekend.  Usually we don't do anything super special, but he'll be working lots of hours at his work next month, so it's a time to get away from it all and have some fun.  Whatever you have planned, I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!  Take care and thank you so much for taking the time to drop by today!

Hugs!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-February 2020!




Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-February!




Hi, Friends!

Happy February 1st!  Another month closer to spring!

And, it's time for our monthly planner reveal for Paper Sweeties!  I have the sweet pup mailing all the Valentine cards!  The pup is from the set Sent from my heart.  I love the adorable little pup because he looks a bit like my pup, Sheila, with all the black spots!  The banners along the top of the pages were die cut using the set Planner Series: All Occasions.  The balloons, gifts, and heart are from the same set, too.  BoBunny design paper was used to make the banners.

I have another posts today, so please scroll down to see my DRU card.

Here is a closer view of the first page...

Dies R Us Challenge-February 1, 2020!(Hearts, Love, Valentines)




Hi, Friends!

Happy February 1st!  It's a new month and time for another Dies R Us Challenge!  The theme is (Hearts, Love, Valentines)!  We ask that you use at least one die on your project.  Come and join in the fun and have a chance to win a gift certificate!  Enjoy creating!

One thing I do love is Doodlebug and Lawn Fawn!  I combined the two and made a fun card with the two love birds...




For my card, I started with a red card base and paired it with Doodlebug paper.  The background panel was die cut using the stitched windy backdrop die from Lawn Fawn.  The sentiments and die cut hearts are from Lawn Fawn, also.  I just love those little birds with their glasses, so cute!!  The images were colored with copics and twine to finish the card.


 All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!



 There are so many choices at the Dies R Us store!  Hope you check out the store for  amazing selection of dies, stamps, papers, inks, etc.!  I'd love to see your project in the challenge...happy creating!

Would you like more inspiration?  Check out some amazing creations from my talented teammates!

Thank you and Valentine's card!


Hi, there!

It's another gloomy day here in NW Ohio...cold and damp...yep...Ohio weather!  But, that's ok since I ran my errands and had my yearly doctor appointment.  I even treated myself to a breakfast at Bob Evans.  Usually I don't like to eat alone, but I was starving and I knew I had errands to run, so I didn't want to pass out, lol!  Now, I'm back home in my craft room with the bright craft lights to bring on my own happy sunshine!

I'd like to share with you a card that I created for a friend who organizes the craft retreat that my friend, Nancy, and I go to in April for the weekend.  I needed to send her payment and also wanted to send her a crafty card.  And, the stamp set that Darnell gifted to me last fall at the craft retreat in Indiana was perfect to use for Judy.



I love this stamp set with the cleaning lady and fun sentiments!  I know that Judy will smile when she receives this card!  


I have a Tshirt that says those exact words...eat, sleep, stamp, repeat.  And, that's what Nancy and I will be doing come April.  We are really looking forward to it!  Thanks again, Darnell, for this fun stamp set!!

Next up, is a Valentine card with Lawn Fawn goodies.  I just LOVE those little hearts for a shaker card!  All the dies that I used on the card are from Lawn Fawn.  The DP inside the hearts for the background is from Doodlebug.  I have several more Valentine cards that I've done that I'll show on another post.




Ok, back to my craft table for more Valentine cards!  Please take good care and enjoy the rest of your week!

Hugs those close and dear to you for we never know what the future brings.  My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends of Kobe Bryant.  And, also to all the families that had loved ones that were with Kobe.

Hugs!
