Sweet

Here's another scrap 

Valentine card I created this week. As I posted the other day, I've made several cards using up the scraps in my Valentine's Day supplies box.

I believe this paper

was part of a sheet of Pink Paislee's Love Letters. It had to be providential that the scrap had this bit with Sweet printed on it. The next line actually says something about "Used as a food and laxative", so I covered most of that up with a heart and blossoms... haha!

This lace is vintage

from my stash that I topped with pearl trim. The hearts are cut from Alterations Mini Hearts... the left one is covered with a scrap of paper doily. The rest of the doily is tucked in at the top along with a scrap cut from Alterations Distressed Doily. Both hearts and the doily scrap were misted with Cotton Candy Pink Starburst Spray from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

These other paper 

scraps were from Glitz Pretty in Pink 6x6 pad. All the papers were sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The metal corner piece is by Momenta. The tiny flower is from a package of petals I got on closeout from our local shop when they went out of business (SOB!). It's topped with a TPC Studio pink rhinestone.

Jingle Bells

Today is the most

gorgeous day. Looking out the window you would think it was spring. So why am I inside? Ahhhh... the lady is still making Christmas cards... that's why!

By now you may have

grown tired of seeing cards I've created with My Mind's Eye "All Is Bright". The fact is, I'm still in love with these papers and am enjoying mixing them with my Christmas scraps from last year. It's been sort of a personal challenge to see how many different looks I can get with these few paper patterns and a chipboard sheet.

I used the "Joy" 

chipboard piece as the focal point, and paired it with this scrap of Graphic 45's "Christmas Emporium". The two buttons are MME "Follow Your Heart" and tied with ivory burlap string from May Arts. The roses are Recollections and I Am Roses. The die cut is Spellbinder's Floral Doily Motif.

The big tulle bloom

is by Prima. I dabbed on a little Tombow Mono Glue  and sprinkled on Twinklets Diamond Dust... both are from Consumer Crafts, where you can get 20% off their entire site thru today - 12/13/12.

Thankfully I have another

Christmas card finished. The inspiration for this came from my friend, Tracy, who is one of the most talented, sweetest ladies I've meet since I've started blogging. Here is her tag that gave me the idea for my card...

I again used the

My Mind's Eye All Is Bright Christmas collection along with Recollections Kraft cardstock. I'm still not sure if I made the frames right, but I like the result.

My image is from the

Artistic Outpost Midwinter stamp set stamped in Jet Black Archival and embellished with Twinklets Diamond Dust (as were the Kraft frames) and edged with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The flowers are all from I Am Roses that were misted with Lindy's Stamp Gang Creme Brulee Cream Starburst Spray. The Shabby Wrinkled Seam Binding bow is topped with a Teresa Collins brad. The greenery was cut from Alterations Mini Holly and Tattered Pinecone dies. The clear rhinestone is by TPC Studio.
