Thanks Annette, Jan and Juliene!
P. S. scroll down and link up to my Valentine stamp blog candy! You don’t have to do anything! Just link up!!!
The twine I used is from Doodlebug…it’s called Valentine!
The Row of Hearts is a new stamp from Printworks and the LOVE stamp is from them also but an older one. I stamped the hearts with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers… R27 and R83. There’s that twine again! Oh, I embossed lines above and below the hearts also.
Some more new stamps from Printworks! Love that cupcake.. the sentiment and the little flower heart growing up between the scallops! I’m linking this card up to the Clean and Simple Stamping Challenge Blog – a sketch and you’re to have a repeated element on the card more than three times. I got carried away adding stuff to the circles…ugh! lol EK Success border punch.
Now for the Valentine stamp candy… link up below and inlinkz will pick a winner (random) and these four stamps will be on the way to your collection! Printworks sent me doubles of these four so I emailed Nicole and asked if I could give them away and she said, “yes”!
the cupcake heart posey
I love you always

Meet Ice Skating Don! Isn’t he the coolest…just gliding along without a care in the world! This is going to be a birthday card so that’s why I used the number paper from one of the newer My Minds Eye 6×6 paper pads. Can you keep up with paper pads these days? eek! as soon as I get what I think is new, there are a bunch more new ones out! I can’t keep up with them all and I’m gonna have to wallpaper the outhouse with them! lol NOT! lol
I forgot to take a photo of the tag… it says “Love you much” and it’s from Printworks new Love/Valentine release… I’ll link it up below too.
The fence (super cute bird and birdhouse too) and tree are new dies from Marianne Design and the ice skater is new from Marianne Design’s Don and Daisy clear stamp line! They are so fun! You’ll be seeing more of them from me! Don is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Hair – E30, 23, 25, 27, 29, Skin – E000, 00, 21 and R20, Head wrap and sweater – Y21, 26, 28, Scarf and Leg Warmers – BG70,72,75, Jeans – B90’s. The tree is the one I stamped in this video HERE.
Everything is edged with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress ink using the ink blending tools.
Linking up to the Papertake Weekly challenge blog…anything goes with an option of adding a heart/hearts… I have a little one on the tag! yea!

The challenge….your first ever black and white creation…I just had to go looking! It’s fun looking back through your own blog! This is from March of 2009! Original post, HERE. Flashback Friday Challenge Blog HERE. I just felt like wishing you a happy, happy day! weekend! Take care and stamp a little! Thanks for stopping by
Oh, I had fun getting gluey with this new die set from CC Designs for February! It’s called Acorns and Leaves. I used several CC Designs dies and Ranger black enamel in the flower centers. The flowers are the smallest flowers from the Phlox Flower die and the Five Point Flower die. I doubled the kraft paper cord and tied a bow, so I’d have double loops on both sides of the knot.
The sentiment is from the NEW AmyR Stamps sentiment set called Be Happy. On the inside I made another little bouquet with an acorn and leaves and stamped the sentiment from this set that says, best birthday wishes.
Click over to the ATS blogto see what the other ATS designers created for today using these new dies! Totally inspiring! I love this Woodland theme that Christine came up with! AND… be sure to link up for a chance to win… on all three posts! woohoo! Who swallowed a happy pill? me? nah… just happy to be here!
Several months ago I finally took the plunge and ordered the Perfect Layers rulers! I was so tired of cutting card mats and re-cutting card mats and trying to achieve the perfect margin on all four sides!!! WELL… I can tell you the answer to the problem!!! THESE TOOLS are awesome!!! Time saving!!! Keep you from pulling your hair out wonderful!!!!! Hallelujah! My sanity is still in tact! Quit laughing! hehe
I will make a video showing how I use them but in the meantime… check out the video in the store. If you order through my link you’ll save 5%! If you love having perfect layers like I do, you will LOVE these tools!
You can scroll through the cards on my blog and you’ll see I’m rather biased to the 1/16 th in. mat… oh, it makes me HAPPY! so very happy…just the time it saves alone! I’m gonna ask Julie if they’d consider making a ruler for 3/32 nds… now that would be divine! Now you know… I’m crazy! lol Well, come on… don’t you think we need something between 1/16 th and 1/8 th inch too???!!!
ok – I’ll shut up about it…
Thanks for the visit! ttul!
here’s what I used today to create this humdinger of a card! hohoho – now where did that come from?!
