Happy Valentine’s Day + Video

Happy Valentine’s Day, sweet blog friends!

Each of you mean so very much to me- I’m grateful for those who have followed me since the beginning, and those who just found my blog recently. Your words of encouragement, blog comments and viewership mean a lot to me.

As promised, I have a more light-hearted post to share today. There are less than three days left to join in the 10 Minute Craft Dash #11 and I wanted to bring you a little more inspiration using this theme. Since today is THE day of love, I wanted to load it up with all sorts of hearts and tons of girlie elements.

Time it took to create: 9 minutes 37 seconds

If you watched my haul video, you saw that I just got the Shadow Ink Cup O’ Joe pad. I must say, I really do like it. I still haven’t played much with the pink colors- I’ll keep you posted on my thoughts of those soon.

I was so inspired by Jess’ video that I wanted to create one for you today. Two videos in a week? Wow! Sadly, I got this idea after work and well, the lighting is not that great. Hopefully you can still enjoy it though!

I hope that you enjoyed today’s card and video. If you get a chance, the DT and I would love for you to join us in the 10 Minute Craft Dash #11. Remember, you only need to set aside 10 minutes in your day AND you’ll get a workout in there, too! *wink*

10 Minute Craft Dash #11

Hello there!

I’m so excited about today’s challenge! Not only is this the first challenge where the DT will be joining along, we are featuring HEARTS. I’m a sucker for this time of year. I love love and all the pretty decorations and sweet gifts that people exchange during this special time of year. Yes, I realize it’s over commercialized, but honestly, it doesn’t bother me all that much.

As you can see above, there isn’t a specific color palette for this challenge. This time around you just need feature hearts somehow {a little or a lot}, it fits within the 10 minute time frame* and post the time it took to create within your post.

* If you aren’t able to stay within the 10 minutes, you can still link up your item! While it won’t quality for the winner spot, it might still be featured in the favorites!

Wonderful Washi Blog Hop

Good morning!

It’s time for the DeNami Design monthly blog hop. If you have started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from Diana’s blog. You definitely want to be sure you visit all 19 stops; there’s bound to be lots of amazing washi tape inspiration!

I know that many of my readers are familiar with washi tape- it’s the hottest thing in blogging land right now! It took me a little while to dip my feet into this bandwagon, but now I am obsessed with it. Dozens of designs and colors and yet I’m still always on the lookout for new ones!

With Valentine’s Day coming up quickly, I thought I would create a card all about this sweet day. I have an abundance of red washi tape, so I decided to put them to use and create a washi tape heart.  It’s SUPER easy to do, too! I placed stripes of washi tape on white paper, used a heart die cut and voila! valentine1a

Did you happen to notice the red doily in the background? I first tried using a standard white one and it didn’t pop as much as I liked. Enter in a red ink pad and I immediately had a matching RED doily!

valentine1bIt’s time to head off to the next stop on the blog hop- Barbara Murphy’s blog! Barb is such a sweetie pie who is always so supportive and has great ideas- I can’t wait to see what she creates using washi tape!

Have fun with the rest of the hop, I hope you were inspired by my card. Don’t forget to leave comments on each stop for your highest chance of snagging one of the $20 gift certificates!

NOT LISTED: aqua paper & pearls, doily
