Just a little something..

Finally got a chance to share this with you all... I made this about 2 weeks ago before getting sick... It's a wrapped Hersheys bar for a Valentine card & candy swap I participated in in a yahoo group.

Enjoy!

Be My Valentine

Hello!

I FINALLY got a little free time this evening after the boys fell asleep so I thought I'd give the OCL sketch challenge a shot! It's pretty hard to see in my photos but there is a little glitz on the champagne!! It looks SUPER cool!

Stamps: Filled with Love, Cheers
Ink: Early Espresso, Basic Black
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, Day & Night DSP (retired), Rose Red

14 Days Filled with Love! - Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of 14 Days Filled with Love!

Today's share is small but can be meaningful! Especially to those teenagers in your life! Using the Scallop Envelope I have created a Valentine's Day money holder! My grandmother ALWAYS gave us a $5 bill for Valentine's Day inside a card. This envelope could easily be stuck inside a Valentine's card or it would even look great inside a cello bag filled with red and silver Hershey's kisses!!

Stamps: Filled with Love
Ink: Real Red, Pretty in Pink
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink DP
Accessories: Real Red Glimmer Brad, Dimensionals

Remember this bundle offer is only available until January 24th! I've posted the banner below so you can check out the great promotion! You can get the Filled with Love set and the special Valentine's Real Red & Pretty in Pink DSP pack for $26.90 and you'll receive a pack of the bitty buttons FREE! Now is the time to get those Valentine's made and have a set that is versatile to use throughout the year! To order just click on the banner above!

Olive You!

Today I have another Valentine's/Love card to share with everyone. I used the SU! Olive You stamp set to creat this card! I think this set is too cute! I have officially determined that I'm obsessed with the Square Lattice and Polka Dot embossing folders! I find myself turning to them for almost every card I make! I think it's time for me to get some NEW embossing folders!!

Which one's are your faves??!

Stamps: Olive You
Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive, Rose Red

Occasions Mini Preview - XOXO & Blog Candy

Today I have a card share using a the new XOXO set from the Occasions Mini catalog releasing NEXT week!
I made 24 cards fronts for the Inkin' All Night team swap hosted by Miss Rhonda Morgan and then made an extra 4 cards to donate to OWH. The OWH cards were shipped out on Monday but here is one of the card fronts for the IAN swap! They are actually due today! I'm so glad she lives just down the street from me otherwise I would NEVER be able to get any swaps to her on time! LOL

ENJOY!!

Stamps: XOXO
Ink: Pretty in Pink
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Lots of Love DSP
Accessories: Top Note Die, Heart Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Polka Dots EF,

As mentioned I do have a blog candy opportunity for you all as well. Some of you may have read in previous posts that I have started a challenge site. The site is in the works right now and our first challenge is scheduled to be on February 5, 2011. Anyhow is you're interested in learning how you can enter to win a $25 Gift Certificate for SU! product valid through me then click on the GAB Badge below!!

Manic Monday 3

Today has definitely been Manic! Our parents had taken the kids for the weekend so they were at Grandma & Grandpa's one night and Grandma Gia & Papa's the next night and now we have a clingy 18 month old and a spoiled 2 month old! LOL

It was such a nice break for Cullen and I! But we all missed each other! And it's good to have the boys home now we just have to get back on schedule!

Anyways... here is my card for the MM3 sketch at GAB!  On Wednesday we will be holding our first color challenge!! Hope you'll stop by and join us!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo's you Valentine?

HAHA! I'm so corny sometimes! I put this together a couple weeks ago when I had some free time. I really like the idea but I'm not too crazy about my choice of colors. Anyhow, I just wanted to share. This is using a nugget tin. I bought them through Specialty Bottle as they're quite a bit cheaper there than PaperTrey Ink. I intended to use them as little Christmas gifts but I just don't see it happening so I came up with this instead!

Stamps: Whoo's Your Valentine
Paper: Whisper White, Only Orange, ... Red? LOL
Ink: Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Rose Red,
Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Stickles Polka Dot Emboss, Heart Emboss

This is a set of 12 3x3 cards and envelopes. You could probably get a couple more in the tins if you wanted more than 12. If you make your childrens Valentine cards you could make a variety of cards and this would be a cute way to give them to them. I remember when I was a child I always looked forward to picking out my Valentines and opening the box was exciting to see the different cards! Maybe I was just weird... LOL


Don't forget! My "Cleaning Out the Craft Room Blog Candy" is still open! In order to qualify become a follower (if you're not already) and post a comment on any posts dated between 11/20 & 12/1! That's right! You can get multiple entries by posting a comment to these posts! The winner will be randomly selected on Dec 2nd (cause that's my birthday!) so be sure to check back to see if you've won!

Bonus!

I was able to make a card before my BF went to work today! Yay!! I decided I wanted to share my take on the CAS FTL#116 so here it is! This is also going to be donated to OWH! I've made three cards this week to donate! Yay! I didn't think it was possible to get this many cards made in 5 days while I'm at home with the babies! LOL



Stamps: Three Little Words
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Bravo Burgundy, Rose Red
Ink: Early Espresson
Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Polka Dot Emboss,
