LOVE the font of the sentiments in this new set!!!

CardMaker ~ Basic Grey Blog Hop

Welcome to another CardMaker Blog Hop!  Today we are teaming up with Basic Grey to share some projects featuring the Basic Grey True Love Collection.  I couldn't stop at just one card and before I knew it made three in a very short amount of time!  Love the 6x6 paper pad and for my first card, I combined it with the coordinating Title Stickers and Chipboard.

For this second card, I used both the letters and shapes...the chipboard is actually sticky on the pack so peel and stick... Awesome!

 And finally I wanted to make something for Valentine's Day with my hubby in mind.  In May 1994, we carved our initials in a tree in Virginia so I had to use the Alphabet Stickers with the wood grained patterned paper, Chipboard and Mini Bottle Cap Epoxy Stickers...uber cool little things!
 

Don't you just love the variety of  Basic Grey?  Be sure to hop over to the Basic Grey blog as they are having a giveaway of a True Love 6x6 Paper Pad as well as winner's choice of three embellishments!  That would be a hard decision...which three??? 

 

Next stop on the hop is my uber creative friend Melanie...can't wait to see what she created!

Loving Thoughts of You

Hello friends!  Today the The Craft's Meow DT is having a blog hop to share projects created with the theme of Valentine/Love (pinch, pinch...thrilled to be on the design team and hopping with these creative ladies!!) I used two stamp sets for my card and was inspired by the Tuesday Trigger: Cross My Heart over on Moxie Fab for my design:

I took a panel of Ocean Mist card stock and embossed it with an embossing folder and gently smoothed on some Blank Canvas Studio Semi-Gloss Acrylic Paint from Claudine Hellmuth (which I heat set to speed drying).  I then layered it onto a pink cardstock and adhered to a card front. I die cut a heart and stamped XOXO from Sew Happy multiple times and added a sentiment from Sent with Love.  Very easy!!

Here are the sets I used:

Happy As a Lark and some exciting news!!!

I mentioned on Saturday that I had an exciting announcement this week and I am thrilled to announce that I am joining The Craft's Meow Design Team. I have been a huge fan of their stamps and was so excited to receive the email from sweet Lisa!  This card features the stamp set Happy as a Lark and the February sketch challenge which I thought was perfect for this occasion! I truly am 'happy as a lark' with this fabulous opportunity to work with this talented design team!

I sponged the edges of coordinating My Mind's Eye patterned paper with Memento Angel Pink and added a swirl of Want2Scrap bling.  The bird was stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink and embossed with clear embossing powder on pink cardstock.  I added some Swirls Finesse Brown Rhinestone to fancy it up a bit :)

Be sure to check out the announcement on The Craft's Meow blog, as I am joining the team with the uber talented Clare Buswell.  Quite exciting as I work with her on the NinaB Designs team as well and love her designs!!

I am entering this into the February 2013 Time2Create Challenge over on the Want2Scrap blog.

XOXO

 Today I wanted to share a card I made for January Sketch Challenge for The Craft's Meow. I used the stamp set Sew Happy and coordinating Spellbinders Sewing Elements.  I also combined it with the Moxie Fab Create Your Own Background Challenge by using a polka dot stencil from The Crafter's Workshop to create my own background.  

Have you seen the pictures from CHA?  One of my favorite trends continuing that I am thrilled about is wood veneers....so I included a few hearts on mine.  Can't wait to get a hold of some of the other fun shapes!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
