Oh, I'm sure you want to hear the nitty gritty details about my card while you're here, too, don't you? I hope so, because I'm going to tell you about it! LOL!

I went with a thank you/love card, this time. My card Uses the image, Flowery Bride Mon Amour,from The East Wind, colored with Promarkers. This card would be great to say thank you to that special love in your life, or could be used, also, as a wedding card to your new husband. For my card layout, I've used the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy. I wanted to add some color, so I went with shades of pink red with black and a touch of purple.  (After all, everything is better with a little - or a lot - of purple!) I trimmed the image at a funky angle to add a fun twist to the card layout.  Plus, it made a great place for me to stagger my sentiment.  I love how it turned out.

I have another valentine card to show you. I wanted to do a masculine card, but still use valentine colors, so I went with the color combo of pink, white and red, with a touch of blue. My card uses the image Deacon Cupid, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used red valentine ribbon across the top and bottom. I used two red felt hearts near the top left and bottom right of the image. The finishing touch are four pink heart shaped gemstones.

This card is for my friend Dan.

An ABC Love

Are you feeling the love? Well, you will, today, with this ABC I have to show you! Because, today is ABC Monday at Bugaboo Stamps!  This is where we show you Anything But A Card!  Today, I am featuring this cute water globe I made!  Want to see more ABC inspiration? Check out Catch The Bug and see what else there is to look at!

To make this water globe, I used the image Valentine Jar, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The image was printed twice, cut into dome shapes and placed inside the water globe.  Then fill with glitter and water. Super easy! (Yes I realize I got a little water on the image because I didn't have a small enough funnel to put the water in with so I tried to do it by letting a  tiny stream drip into the hole!)  That's okay, the recipient will still love it!
This water globe is inspired by the Movie, P.S. I Love You.

You're A-Maze-Ing!

Wow, we had so many wonderful entries in our "anything goes" challenge last week at Catch The Bug! You all are so talented and we love, love, love seeing all of your awesome creations!

Now, it's time for a new challenge, this week, at Catch The Bug. This week, we have a photo inspiration challenge for you, as well as a wonderful sponsor! Oh and just wait till you hear who the sponsor is - You are going to love it! Our sponsor, this week, is none other than KennyK! Whoo Hoo! Of course, on top of that, Bugaboo Stamps is offering thier usual prize, too! Whooo Hoooo! Talk about fun, prizes, and a chance to win, win, win! This is one challenge you are definitely not going to want to miss! Head over to Catch The Bug to play along, and check out the amazing projects the DT are showcasing for you! Valentine's Day is fast approaching, too, so leave the DT some love while you're in the neighborhood!

My project today is a valentine card for my husband, and features Sexy Cupid, by KennyK. She's colored with Promarkers. I used the black, white and pinks from the photo for my inspiration. I used a 2 1/2" circle punch, to punch a hole in the front of the card. On the inside of the card, I attached one of the new plastic mazes from Stampin' Up, so that it can be seen from the front of the card. I figure he won't be able to resist trying to get the little balls into the center of the maze! LOL! The heart buttons are from my stash. I added glitter and sparkle to sexy cupid, and attached her with foam mounting tape, for dimension. The papers are all scraps from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I think it's perfect for this A-Maze-Ing card!


I am entering this card in the following hallenges:
