Non- Traditional Vday card

Don't you just love when an idea just comes together perfectly from inception to paper?
I wanted to make a Vday card in non- traditional colors. Here is what I came up with. I think it came out nice and cute.

I am not much of a bird fan or any avian stamp to be honest, but these little cuties are not so bad, I think I like them. They are growing on me.

1 month till St. Patty's Day...

Sorry I am posting so late but my mom commandeered my computer for her taxes. I am all excited about my birthday coming up, I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I also finally received my Love You Much Stamp set, although just a little too late to make any more Valentine's cards so here is a card in honor of my birthday!!!

Scrapbook page and a little Valentine Treat

Here is a quick cute little scrapbook page. 6X6 using Urban Garden DSP, Upsy Daisy Stamp Set, Baja Breeze cardstock and Double Stitched Grosgrain ribbon and a Fillagree brad.

I made a Valentine Treat Purse using Julie Buhler's template. Used Baja Breeze, Pink Piroutte Cardstock, Love You Much Stamp Set and Baja Breeze Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and Scallop Circle Punch.

This is the perfect little holder for the red and white Jelly Belly's I picked up at this cute little candy shop downtown called Evelyn's.

Going Green and Making the Most of My Scraps...

I made 4 cards tonight all designed around scrap pieces that I had laying on my craft table left over from other cards. I was fixin to throw the scraps away and clean up but then decided I should see what I could make out of them. 4 cards after a full day at work, that might actually be a record for me on a work night. Woo Hoo!

Here's a Sugar Coated Bday Card:

Finally used my Flight of the Butterfly Stamp Set that I was dying to have but never even mounted. (I collect any set with butterflies!)

Recipe: Stamps- Flight of the Butterfly; Paper- Baja Breeze Cardstock, Bella Rose DSP, Whisper White Cardstock; Ink- Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Versamark; Baja Breeze Doublestitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, 2- Way Glue Pen, (misc. Rhinestone Stickers), stampin sponges.
