Making Valentines!

Ahoy! Cheerful greetings to All! 

Today, I’m assembling Valentine Cards. I still have not located my “Happy Valentines Day” stamp for the interior greeting, however, here is a peek at the process and the front of the cards!!

First, I created some “musical” hearts with embossing paste and a favorite scallop heart punch. 

Next, remembering my New Years Resolution to use stamps, I picked a cute circa 2006 image from Stampin’ Up!

Lately, I’m drawn to a “collage” approach to cards and scrapbook pages. Adding a few elements like “dew drops,” stickers and stickles is fun and I’m pleased with the overall look. 

Until next time, happy scrap booking and paper crafting!!

Let's Get Sketchy - February 1 Sketch Challenge

We recently adopted a dog named "Max!" The page I'm sharing today features photos taken the first time we met him. We knew immediately that we wanted to bring him home. He's a lovable guy for sure!

The February 1st Sketch from Let's Get Sketchy provided inspiration for this page! 

   

In addition to this page, I also made a couple cards today using "watercolor crayons" and a water brush. It's interesting to see the same basic card design can "feel" differently just by switching up the background colors!

Until next time, happy scrap booking and paper crafting!
