Valentine Hedgies

Made another vday card using a cute Penny Black stamp! I have to admit at first the hedgies did not catch my eye, but now, besides Mimi, they are one of my favorite Penny Black characters!! This card is for the challenge at Sketch Saturday. After I finished the card, I realized there are a lot of red hearts everywhere! That's okay...that's what vday is all about right? :)


I had a wonderful weekend with friends!
Hope you all had a great one too!

Randomness:
I've come to realize that life really is TOO short. Gotta go with your gut feelings. If you feel good about something, and some people say don't do it, I think you should still do it because you only live once! Life is worth taking risks! If it wasn't meant to be, gotta get back on your feet and move on. Life keeps going and everything happens for a reason!

Love

Looks like I won't find my Valentine's sentiments for my cards this year...and I don't want to buy another set! Did a challenge at Sparkle Creations! The theme was "Love is in the Air". Used Cupid Emily stamp again. She is so cute!


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

A very quick post to share a card before I go to sleep! I'm not tired but I have to sleep since I have work tomorrow! At least it's the weekend after that! :) Made a card again for the challenge at My Favorite Things!!

Tried to do paperpiecing again...It's fun but tricky figuring out what DP to use!

Princess Anya

I'm glad I've had some time recently to participate in some challenges! I headed over to Club Anya. The challenge was to case the card one of the DT chose. I rotated the card to case and here's what I got...


Hope you are all having a great week so far!

Valentine Mimi

Still sad my v-day sentiment stamps have not come up yet! Oh well, I'm still going to make v-day cards either way! I'm trying my best to organize my stamps so I put them back right away and they do not get misplaced! My first card using the super cute Mimi stamp! And it's my first time participating at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.







Have a great Tuesday everyone!

3 x 3 Card Set

The weekends always zoom by!! And I can't believe next week is February already! :O Found another project to share from this past holiday season. I made my co-workers a 3 x 3 card set, 5 cards each.

I made these up on my own...something simple for a birthday...
The ice cream cone is a Martha Stewart paper punch.



For the rest of the cards, I got the idea from  




I made a mini pizza box to put the cards in.
Here's a sample of one of the boxes.


Thanks for stopping by! Your comments are greatly appreciated and keep me going!

Christmas DP Thank You Cards

Sorry, more stuff to share from Christmas! As part of the gifts I gave to friends and family, I used Christmas DP to make some CAS cards for them to use! I followed the sketches from




Thought it was a good way to use DPs that have been neglected!
Have a great weekend everyone!
