Hello there!

I have a non-traditional Valentine’s day card to share with you today. Since I almost always do pink/ red Valentine cards, I thought it’d be fun to change it up a bit. Change it good, right? Well, sometimes it is….

I am utterly obsessed with doilies right now. Like majorly. It’s quite funny, I used to hate them, and now I can’t get enough! Isn’t it strange how your tastes change? Goodness gracious, mine change almost daily!

Here’s a closer view at the fabulous Sm. Valentines Script stamp. I just love the handwriting on this one! So scripty and pretty!  You may have noticed the row of rhinestones- this is another thing that I have loved lately. In my opinion, it’s hard to have too many rhinestones. ;)

I hope you enjoyed today’s non-traditional Valentine’s card! Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog today- I always love having you visit.

Talk to you soon…..

Happy Friday to you!

It is a SUPER good day for me….today is the TobyMac concert that I’ve been anticipating for months! :) So excited to go out with a couple friends and have fun! 

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with everything Valentine themed. I love this holiday- the colors, what it represents, and of course, creating PRETTY cards! Yes, I may be single and don’t technically have a Valentine, BUT I do have family and friends! Now on to today’s card…..

 

I simply love the Rosevine Heart. It’s elegant and pretty, and it’s also fun to color! I contemplated leaving the middle of the heart empty, but then I remembered this perfect sentiment. (From the new Love Sentiments set)

Here you can see I added some Magenta glitter. This is one of my FAVORITE glitter colors ever! If you’re a glitter lover, this color is definitely a must have. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a great Friday!

Hi-ya, blog friends!

Well, today is my dad’s birthday- he has ONE year left before the big 5-0! For each birthday/ anniversary/ Father’s Day, I feel like I have to come up with a spectacular card. This year, I just didn’t have the energy to come up with something elaborate, like I usually do, so I thought I’d go with funny and simple. :) 

Let’s go dive (in the sea) shall we….

When I do cards for my dad, I usually like to put seven of some element, since there are seven people in our family. This time, I went with the super cute fish from the Sea Friends stamp set. I just love these little guys!

Here’s a closer look at the fish. Yup, I colored each one to fit each person’s favorite colors (except my dad….a black fish wouldn’t look good!). The “bubbles” are from the Under the Sea stamp set, along with the seaweed and treasure chest. 

I hope this card brought a smile to your face- I definitely was grinning when I was making it! Let’s hope my dad likes this card….if he does, he’ll most likely have it near the register at some upcoming stamp shows. :)

Have a good one!

Hi there!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I hit the gym (check out my fitness blog) and then got in quite a bit of stamping. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I was able to accomplish. :) 

A few days ago, I posted a card featuring Wilson Designs– a company started by Kim Wilson. I loved playing with Simply Silhouettes so much, I just HAD to pull it out again! This time, I brought out one of the pretty frames and the chair image from the set.

I am utterly in love with this frame- it’s so elegant and a great size. On top of that, there are two other awesome frames in the set! Anyhow, back to the card…. I had to pull out one of my doilies for this card, it seemed to fit the card so well. (Plus, I’m totally addicted)

I hope you enjoyed today’s card! I had so much fun making it; definitely going to be pulling out these stamps again. Be sure to check out Kim’s sets- they’re super inexpensive and the designs are fabulous!

Hello there!

Here I am writing this at 6 something….on a Saturday morning! Not exactly what I had wanted, but for some reason, sleep is evading me. :(

Today’s card features the adorable Mimi’s Pajama Party stamp. I think this design is so fun, and it reminds me of me and my “adopted” sisters.  We always stay up late talking into the wee hours of the night- we usually look like this too! (Minus the teddy bear)

 

I usually do pinks and purples when I color in Mimi, but I wanted to change it up. I decided to go with greens, blues and red. What do you think? It took me a while to get used to the combo, but now I really like it!

This card only features TWO designs: Mimi’s Pajama Party and the Medium Polka Dots (must have). Speaking of polka dots….Simon Says Stamp has a polka dot challenge right now! Yup, you KNOW I’m entering this card. :)

Thanks for visiting me today! Hope YOU have a great Saturday!

Hey there, blog friends!

I don’t know about you, but I TOTALLY in Valentine mode these days. In between seeing the decorations at various stores (which I’m having a hard time resisting), and then all of the yummy new Valentine stamps in the DeNami Design release, I pretty much have no hope. Oh yes, and let’s not forget about the newly made-over DeNami homepage. *swoon*

With all of this around me, I just couldn’t help but create some Valentine cards. I am SO in love with the new Hearts stamp set; seriously, four cute hearts in one set? Then on top of that, we released a Love Sentiments stamp set. Cannot get enough of these two paired together!  If you missed the sneak posts with these images, check them out here. Andrea and Laurie did a phenominal job with their cards…

Here’s a close up of the hearts. Honestly, can you resist that polka dot heart? :) I have more cards/ projects with these beauties, so hopefully you love them as much as I do! 

That’s all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
