I am quickly going to share with you this sweet card I made a while back for Valentine's Day! I love, love, love the glittery "big hugs" and the polka dot paper! I tried very hard to get a great shot of the glitter paper, but it looks MUCH more sparkly in real life....

Thanks so much for stopping in and again, please accept my apologies for being so late!! xoxoxoxo Off to enjoy a decaf and watch some tv before bed! xoxoxo

You Warm My Heart

Happy Monday! Another new week awaits us - and this being Family Day here in Alberta, I am taking full advantage of the day off work :) I spent some time doing much needed house work, some of my bookkeeping course and fun in the craft room - cyber crafting with my bestie - Leanne! It is very cold again today (-32C with a wind chill of -34C brrr!) so another great day to stay inside and maybe do some more crafting?! LOL...

I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog today with this card - it was so fun to create using my stamps from Jane's Doodles. These little to-go cups are just so darling and you can color them up in any color combo you'd like. I stamped them numerous times onto Xpress It! Copic paper, colored them and then cut the panel out with my wonky stitched rectangle die from Craftin' Desert Divas. 

I then layered it on black and teal, added the sentiment strip and finished it all off by adding glossy accents to all the hearts. CUTE!!! 

 

I am entering my card into the following challenges:



the card Concept 108 - Love is in the Air



STAMPlorations - Hearts/Sketch (I used the hearts portion)
Simply Create Too - Hearts

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday everyone! Today, miss Tangii is up on the blog sharing the twist to our Anything Goes challenge.

She's issuing the following sketch for us to use:

This sketch made me think and I altered it just a smidgie...I didn't put the square element in - I used my sentiment as the right side element. That's why I love sketches - you can interpret them a little bit different than the next person and make it work for you and your supplies:

All supplies are from Stampin' Up!

Life Happens After Coffee!

 

Happy Monday everyone! Welcome back to my blog. By now, I am assuming everyone is back into their routines after the Christmas/New Year holidays and life has resumed to it's normal state! I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today, sharing my first coffee card of 2019:

 

I had a lot of fun creating this card using my goodies from Fun Stampers Journey! I stamped the coffee stain rings with Crumb Cake ink, stamped the cup on Xpress It Copic Paper, colored it up and cut it out with the matching die - isn't that glossy red heart the perfect touch? Life REALLY does begin after coffee :)

 

Thank you so much for stopping in today - cheers!!
