You're a Perfect Score

Here is my entry for this weekend's Hanna Stamps Challenge, which was to make a Valentine's Card that does not include pink or red....

My Bowling Hanna Set arrived in the mail today, so I had to ink her up right away and make a valentine. The sentiment I did on my computer and printed it out. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Friday!

Hope you are all having a fantastic start to your weekend. Here is my card for this weekend's sketch challenge on Taylored Expressions. The card size is 5X7. I have a stack of 5X7 envelopes, so I'm playing with a larger card base for awhile. This is the perfect sketch for a larger card because of all the multiple pattern pieces. I hope you enjoy my card tonight! 

Stamps: Crazy For Cupcakes 

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: Close to Cocoa, Rose Red, Pink Pirouette, White, Sweet Glitter Matstack (DCWV)

Access: Circle Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Pink Pirouette Ribbon, Rose Grossgrain Ribbon, Valet Ribbon Originals. Brads (SEI and Basic Grey), SU Markers.

Always In My Heart

Good Evening! 

Here is the card I made for this weekend's sketch over at Taylored Expressions. I used the set Always from SU which I borrowed from my friend Laurel.  I had a lot of fun making this card, and I think it's because of these colors found in the Basic Grey Bittersweet 6X6 Paper Pack that I picked up at Gina K's Store  a couple of weeks ago. 

The full recipe can be found HERE in my SCS Gallery.

Hi everyone, 

Starting to thaw out here in the frozen tundras of Wisconsin, but I wanted to share this card I made out of a card kit swap I received from another SCSer. This was my January Kit. 

I hope to find out who makes these cute images! The eskimo and igloo are so cute! 

Hugs,

Reason to Smile

I'm home from work today, battling a cold, we're in the middle of winter, and yet,  I have MANY reasons to smile every day that I get out of bed. How about you? For one thing, I have a beautiful new niece to cuddle, love and spoil for the rest of my life. She means everything to me, and her alone will give me reasons to smile every day and be thankful for life's little blessings.

I made this card today for a sketch swap on SCS. I used last week's Taylored Expressions Sketch (TECC53).

Kitty's Best Friend

I'm finally back with a card! :) Yipee! Sorry about the finger on the image up there, the card wouldn't stay down LOL! Last Wednesday (before all the baby stuff happened ~ I'm an auntie now! woo-hoo!)  Dad took me to Gina K's store in McFarland to get some new goodies! This is one of the new stamp sets I picked up, Framed Friends designed by Asela Hopkins. Isn't the Kitty cute? I colored her in with my prismacolor markers. The paper and brads are from the Bittersweet Basic Grey line which I also got at Gina K's The kitty image actually has a cute little bird in the window, but instead I stamped the heart on some of the BG paper cut it out and popped it up!  The chocolate ribbon is from SU, the pink ribbon is Amuse. Omgosh I love that Amuse Ribbon! Sooooo pretty! 

Have a super night! 

Hugs,
