It is so nice to open my mailbox and find something other than bills or flyers addressed to "Occupant". I just received a lovely Valentine's card from my friend Lyndi in the mail a couple days ago. This really tickles me because Lyndi lives across the street from me. You're probably wondering why she bothered to mail it when she could have just left it on my porch or handed it to me. She knows, just as I do, how nice it is to open your … [Read more...] about Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine's
Love You
There's just something so sweet about pink and red hearts. Add in a bit of gold and you've got a fabulous card. Since I was working with the this fabulous paper and die cutting a bunch of things, I ended up with some strips of heart cut-outs. Not willing to let them go to waste, I used them on my card. I just love that pink swirl paper in the background. It almost looks like frosting. I'm so glad I picked this paper as one of my FREE items … [Read more...] about Love You
Thoughtful Moments
On Monday I shared a perfectly lovely simple card. Today we are going to step it up a notch. I'm using the Most Adored pattern paper that's FREE with Sale-A-Bration with the Adoring Hearts stamp and die bundle and the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and dies. Oh my goodness, this Hybrid set is pretty incredible. Honestly, I waffled on getting it, but I loved the words in the set. And I love that the letters are raised in the embossing … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Moments
It Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated
Not all cards have to take hours to create. You don't even need to spend hours to make a nice, lovely card. Sometimes simple is just as nice. Especially when you are using some beautiful paperike the Most Adored paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. This paper is designed to coordinate with the Adoring Hearts Bundle in the January-April Catalog. The dies in the bundle die cut a number of different hearts and the banner below. I added a … [Read more...] about It Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated
January Magnet Stand-Bee Mine
Hot off the presses and just in time for Valentine's, January's Magnet stand kit is called Bee Mine. This Bee from the Stampin Up Valentine's Suite is so stinkin' cute. I love his happy little smile. The Bee Mine Suite is in the brand new January-April Stampin Up Catalog. The Bee stamp set comes with a coordinating punch to cut out the bee body, wings, and mini hearts shown below.

Happy Monday! Today, I'm sharing my last Country Floral Suite project for now. I absolutely love the pattern paper in this Suite. The gingham patterns and the Valentine florals are just so pretty. I love the simplicity of this card. Just a little bit of the pretty paper goes a long way to make this card. The punch is still out of stock but the heart is easy enough to cut out using scissors. The rest of the products in the Suite are … [Read more...] about Friends

Country Floral Lane
I've been working on several different projects using the Country Floral Lane Suite. I just found out yesterday that the coordinating punch is out of stock. I really try not to share stuff that I know is out of stock, but sometimes it's unavoidable based on what I've already planned for the week. The entire rest of the Suite appears to be in stock as of last night. And fortunately, the heart image and leaves are not that hard to hand cut if need … [Read more...] about Country Floral Lane
