heart to heart, hand in hand....

Hello Everyone and Happy Valentines Day....When I saw this adorable LOTV stamp I new I had to have it. I am so happy to have purchased it...this image is just way too cute I think. I have seen a few people doing these cards that are all white except for the image and find them really nice. So I thought I would have a go doing a step-fold-card. Pam has a fantastic template on her blog.

I just bought these templates from Michaels a couple of weeks ago in the Valentine's section. I thought it would be so fitting to use it on my card today. I added just a hint of glitter around the edge and coloured the image with copics.
Here is a picture showing the side view! This is for someone very special today!

Have a wonderful Valentines Day.I am off to get the kids to school and then grocery shopping...I want to make a special dinner for the family!

Another Christmas card.....

I find myself so busy these days, and I want to get a head start on those Christmas cards, tags and gifts! A couple of weeks ago I was at an all day crop and was able to use my distress inks to do up this rather simple card.I am trying to keep the Christmas cards fairly simple, as it just gets so expensive to mail if there are alot of embellishments!

I have so admired Dena's ability to use the distress inks so well...so I have been on a mission to try and master them. I really love the distress inks, quite easy to play with! I also placed lots of glitter on her hat and trim.....

I am hoping the next couple of days to get cracking on some holiday happenings here on the blog! I am going to enter this card into the challenge over at Lady Bug Crafts....the challenge is...Christmas Sparkle! Thank-you Lisa for letting me know all about this challenge!

Cuttlebug Fun...

I have not used my cuttlebug in ages..so I thought lets get that out and try something out. I embossed the white cardstock with my snowflakes die and then took the oval nestie and cut it out so you could see the image I coloured with distress inks.

So now I can officially say...I have made my first Christmas card...yahoo! It is a start!
I then took a piece of cardstock and ran it thru the snowflake die and then cut along the edge to form a little snowdrift! The inside image is coloured with distress inks and then I added LOTS of glitter!!! My little trees are stamps released from Papertrey last year called, Made of Snow. Another favourite set! I stamped them on Christmas paper and then cut them out, glued them to the snowdrifts!

I have totally fallin' in love with the Lily of the Valley Christmas collection. I have ordered a few and I am happy to say...it will not be my last order! Especially when I keep seeing the gorgeous work others are doing with the images! Have a wonderful evening and thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!
