This is my husband's favorite Valentine this year. He likes cards with green leaves in them...remember my Mosaic Christmas Ornament card from last year and his suggestion to add the green leaves? This time I thought I'd beat him to the punch and added green leaves to the hearts, which he really liked :-)

I used the rectangular Designer Frames embossing folder to frame the stamped heart from the Hearts A Flutter stamp set. This is another "my style" more traditional Valentine card.

See you next time!

Today's Valentine is more along the traditional lines...which is more my personal taste for Valentine's. I have been trying to stretch myself to include styles and trends that aren't necessarily my favorite, but are fun nonetheless, which is how I came up with my last post's You & Me Valentine.

I love the soft lines of the Adorning Accent framelit and Adorning Accent edgelit together. I added the negative punched heart to allow the pretty Fresh Prints DSP to stand out against the white cardstock.

Hope that you're having a wonderful day!

I'm sharing my first Valentine for 2014, which was made in December for my January card class, which now seems like a long time ago. I thought I'd better start posting my Valentine's on my blog before Valentine's Day has already come and gone. I'll start with the trendy one first.

I used the new Perfect Pennants stamp set from the Occasion catalog for the stamped "You & Me" sentiment and added a Chevron punched border strip to place the stamped heart on.

Thanks so much for looking!

 I've been resistant in trying out the photopolymer stamp sets because of past experience with other brands. I didn't like the blotchy stamped images they produced, but after the Countless Sayings set came out I thought I'd give Stampin' Up's photopolymer's a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they inked up and stamped, and now I'm sold. This stamp set is what sold me...it's a fun stamp set and I love that it's not just for Valentine's or birthdays. With all the little words included you can come up with a lot of sayings. I guess that's why the name of the set is "Countless Sayings".

This card could easily be a Valentine card, although I made it for my granddaughter's birthday who just turned 13!!! I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. She is just as sweet today as she was when she was younger. She is a joy to all of us!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Epic Day Mini Pocket Page Book

Here's a simple little mini-pocket page album I made as a baby shower gift. It measures about 3x3 inches square all closed up. 

I used the Epic Day This and That kit to decorate the pages and the little pull-out journal tags. 

There's nothing quite more "epic" than having a baby, so I thought that the little quotes that's included in the kit worked well for a baby album.

It was a fun little book to create...thanks for letting me share it here with you.
