Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Stampers,
I hope everyone has a sweet Valentine's Day.   I am home alone since Sarah is at school late today and my hubby is traveling for work, but he sent me the most gorgeous box of chocolate covered strawberries so I can't complain!   Tonight I am going to put away all of my Valentine's Day stamping stuff and do some cleaning up in my stamp room, so I can move on to my next adventure!   Here is one last Valentine I want to share, I made this card for a special friend.  I have been wanting to try making these flowers for a long time - so I finally did it today.  The flower is made out of dress lining, and you cut it into a bunch of circles and then heat it up with your heat gun and it shrivels - very fun and pretty!   Enjoy your day and I hope you feel loved today!!

A Little Birdie

Hi Stampers,

Here is another little Valentine's Day card I designed.  I love this card because it could easily be used for any occasion!  Enjoy!

A Kiss and a Hug!

Hi Stampers,

After making a huge stamping mess and spending many hours of trying to get everything just right - I finally pulled together the Valentine's Day Collage and this past week I had a couple of classes so my customers could come and make one along with a couple of adorable Valentine's Day cards.  One of the things I love about this collage is that the five  squares with a black background make an X, and the four squares with a red background make an O - a kiss and a hug!

The card shown in the picture today was not my original idea, and I am not sure who actually came up with it, but I got the idea here:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2124489?&cat=22326.  I used the new designer Rosette die to make the scalloped border on the card - (love that!), and changed it up a bit to make it my own.  

If anyone is interested in  purchasing a Valentine's Day collage, please send me a private email.  I have a few made up - and could easily put together a few more!
