Be Mine

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

WOOHOO!!! Time for a new challenge over at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges. The Challenge this time is a Valentine with color and shimmer. First of all let me say that I am not a glittery and shiny person. I prefer to leave the glitz to others... LOL. But .. I did my best and this is what I came up with and it is shiny ....

I used one of the frames from the "With Love" set from Daisy Doodles. I really like the simplicity of them. I used black cardstock .. a print and a solid paper. I printed the frame on the solid paper and paper pieced the heart with the print paper. The papers are from my K&Company stack. OK for my shimmer I used peel-off borders. They are black with gold edges. My son Reno really liked this one. I think he's going to give it to his girlfriend Katie. It's always nice that someone likes a card well enough that they want to use it for themselves to give. :)

Adored

Today for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Thursday I used one of Lindsay's freebies. You can still get it HERE. It is also in Lindsay's Valentine Party Printables kit at mygrafico. This is an awesome kit for the kid's Valentine Parties or for them to make their own for school.

Another very simple card. I used red card stock and paper from K & Company for my background .... red and pink to mat the image .. a red paper doily (I have had these for a couple of years and forget about them) .. red grosgrain ribbon .. a pink heart button .. and a Studio G clear stamp Sentiment.

My image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.

Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's and the rest of the girl's blogs to see their projects for this week.

LOVE Daisy Doodles

The Challenge this time over at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges is to use a Sentiment as a focal point and Red. I didn't get around to making my card until today and when I went to print I was out of ink. So I decided to do a digital card.

The Sentiment is from a FREE set over at Daisy's Digi Doodles. The papers are Daisy's too. I can't remember where the ribbon and bow came from so if anyone knows leave a comment so I can give credit. I did this card in PSE. When I get my ink I think I will print this for my DH for Valentine's Day.
Be sure to visit the rest of the Design Teams Blogs and see there beautiful cards. You can find them in my left sidebar <<<<<<<.
Then go to Daisy's Digi Doodles and get your FREE Sentiment set and enter the challenge for a chance to win a Gift Certificate.

Challenges:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Valentine
Doodle Pantry - Love
Creatalicious - Ribbon and Love
Aud Sentiments - Love Sentiment

Dinosaur Love

Daisy Doodles has a new stamp set that is the cutest!! A set of adorable Dinosaurs (named after my DT Pal Joannes Sister .. Carol). They are called "Carosaurus". You can find them at Daisy's Digi Doodles Store. There are 3 of them in the set so with Valentine's Day approaching I used this one.

The sentiment is a from a Freebie set at Daisy's Digi Doodles. You can find it HERE.

I used Card Stock from a Valentine Stack I got a couple of years ago for the card base. The heart is cut from the center of a heart doily and the buttons and ribbon rose are from my stash. I colored her with Crayola Crayons and Goo-Gone.

I've been struggling for a couple of months with Cardmaking. My MOJO seems to have left the building. I have been having major computer issues and it has fought me every step. But I am not giving in!!!!

I am entering this card in these challenges:

Whoopsi Daisy - Valentine and Love

Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes

Lexi's Creations - Valentines

Craft Your Days Away - LOVE

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Valentine

The Challenge over at Daisy Doodles is "Anything Goes" so grab your Daisy Doodles image and join us at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges.

LSS Valentine

Gosh it's hard to believe it's Thursday already. Time for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff post. Here is my card for today.

For this card I used an image from the "Love Grows Here" set.

You know how I like clean and simple .. LOL I printed the image and partially colored it with chalk. The sentiment is computer generated and cut with oval nesties. I love black and white and it is so perfect for clean and simple. I added a ribbon and 3 dots and done.

Be sure to check out Lindsay's Stamp Stuff at mygrafico to see this and her many other sets. Don't miss Lindsay's blog and the other Design Team members blogs to see what they have for you. And grab the freebie that Lindsay always has for you on Thursdays.
