Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

I wanted to wish you all a VERY
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!

You all mean so much to me.

Today’s card is perfect for the day.
It features the Sealed with Love stamp set
and coordinating framelits — Love Notes
Sending Love Pink
I love the soft, feminine look of this card.
The color combo is Blushing Bride and Tip Top Taupe
with accents from the Falling in Love designer paper
(strip on the right hand side).
Don’t you love those fun hearts on the right?
I think they give the finishing touching to the card.

Don’t forget to tell all your loved ones how much
they are truly loved today.
I know many feel this is a Hallmark holiday.
I don’t think you have to go out and spend
a bunch of money to tell someone you love them.
To me it’s a great time to stop for just a minute
and give them that special reminder that
you are glad they are in your life.

Tucson Gathering for Greatness

Every now and then we all have to do
something just for ourselves.
The past 3 days I did just that.
I participated in a wonderful training
experience to help me grow and
enjoy my stamping business even more.

The weather was gorgeous — in the 80’s,
even though the weather in Illinois was
nice while I was away.
Check out the great view here in
Tucson.
Tucson View
This beautiful view was the setting
for Saturday’s Gathering for Greatness
training event put on by Lisa Pretto.

It was a great training with many
top demonstrators.  The setting
was quite intimate and I came
home today feeling renewed and
ready to tackle things for myself
and all of you.

Today’s card seems to be the perfect fit.
It uses the stamp set Lift Me Up!!!
I feel that’s what these past few days did.
Lift Me Up
This card works for many occasions
but it kind of reminds me of this past
weekend.

Perfect Mix

I love when a stamp set has cute words or phrases
to go with the images.  Today’s card is a
quick and simple one — great for a
Valentine’s Day card or to give with
a home baked yummy!!
It features the Perfect Mix stamp set.

Perfect MixCard base:  5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Cut out the top section of the card front by
cutting across the front at 2 3/4″ and then
cut down the 4 1/4″ score line.

I used the Urban Underground designer paper
attached to Basic Black and then to the bottom
of the card front.

The bowl and words are stamped with Stazon ink.
I colored the bowl with Watercolor Pencils and
blended the color with a Blender Pen.
