Have A Heart Birthday Card


 I have to admit that purple isn't my favorite color.  I have been making myself use purple more often in my coloring and in the papers that I use.  I have to admit that I do love the way this card turned out.  I even love the look of the purple. 
This is my DT project for Addicted to Stamps.  The theme for this challenge is "Have A Heart"
There are lots of ways to use hearts on your projects that aren't for Valentines day or for anniversaries. I can't wait to see what you create.

Stamp: Magnolia Stamps
Card shape: Spellbinders dies

Valentine Treats


Happy Valentine's Day!  Nothing says I Love You on Valentine's Day like a box of chocolates. When I told my husband I wanted to decorate the candy box but didn't have one, he went out and bought one just for me.  Of course, we ate the candy.  We are a perfect pair because we each like different candies so between the two of us, the box was emptied.


This is my DT project for Digi Choosday.  The theme is always Anything Goes and I can't wait to see what you create.


Project Details:
 All papers and digi image are from the Love And Kisses  from the Work and Play 9 bundle
Love: Base Camp cricut cartridge
Hearts: George Cricut cartridge

Bee My Honey


I made this Valentine for my husband.  I saw this bee and sentiment at Mo's Digital Pencil and knew it would make the perfect valentine.
I kept the card design simple.  I used Tim Holtz dies for the honeycomb corners and spellbinders scalloped heart dies for some accents.  After coloring with copics, I painted the fairy wings with extreme glitter paint for a little sparkle

Masculine Card


Masculine cards seem to be such a challenge for me.  They used to be easy because my card style was clean and simple.  Over time my card making has evolved and I rarely do just a clean and simple card anymore. That being said, I am really pleased with how this card turned out.  

This is my DT project for Crafty Hazelnut's Pattern Paper challenge.  The theme is always anything goes as long as you use pattern paper.  

Card Details:
Bike: Beyond The Fringe digi stamp
Spellbinders die
Magnolia Doohickey star die
