I finished Rhalynn's class Valentines this morning while Clara was napping.  I got both images from Dawn at Lost In Paper Scraps.  She has tons of cute images and they are all free!  So I just want to say a big THANK YOU to Dawn for all the wonderful images she creates.  She made the fish after I inquired about one on her blog!

Thanks for stopping by!!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Can you believe 9 challenges!!

Okay so it wasn't that hard.  With it being so close to Valentine's Day everyone has the same themes going on.  This card is for my Hubby who I love dearly and would rather be caught dead than be seen reading my blog!!  I still love him anyways!

I used my wonderful Karen Doodles First Kiss digi and colored it with my Triart markers.  The PP is Bela BLVD Sugar Plums.  I got it a LLS on clearence with some other Christmas stuff.  However it looked more like Valentine paper with the hearts on it.  Unfortantly I covered most of it up so you can't really see how cute it is.  I stamped a bunch of hearts with a $ stamp from Michaels and then cut it into pieces.  I reallly like how it turned out.  The sentiment is a Michaels $ stamp as well.  I used last weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday's skecth #33 because I liked it so much but didn't get a chance to play with it until now.

Happy {heart} day!!

I'm so excited!!  I made a card that I can enter in three challanges!!  This is a first for me.  I love the way this card turned out.  I like it so much that I may not be able to give it to anyone!  Isn't the image just to cute! It is a freebie from Michelle Perkett Studio. You can get this image too over at Michelle Perkett Studio at the PCP (paper craft planet).  By the way I love the PCP.  The brown paper I used from my scraps, I'm trying to clean that out.  All three PP is from the Target $ Spot.  Gotta love Target $ Spot!!  The happy {heart} day stamp is a $ stamp from Micheals.  I clear embossed it but the pic is so bad its hard to tell.

*edited to add that I added some lines to the middle cake so I could use all three colors*

Christmas cards as far as the eye can see....

I've been working on Christmas cards since early summer and I've finially finished all of mine. YEA!!!! I still have a few to do for my Mom but now I have a great system and can turn them out in now time.

I'm posting my latest and favorite one. I made 12 of these. I usually only make about 6 but I just loved them so much I had to make more.

The hat, tree and candy cane are one stamp for the $1 bin at M's. I just used a 3/4" circle punch to punch each one out. The used my Cricut to cut 1" red circles and 1 1/4" green scalloped circles. The green cirlces have very shallow scallops since I used the tag from Alphalicious cart. I used the Cuttlebug and the D'vine Swirls embossing folder on the lower part. This is my first project with my new Cuttlebug and I think I'm in love.

Thanks for stopping by and have a scrappy weekend.
