A Huge Thanks

Last week our beloved cat got lost, and despite looking everywhere we could not find her.  She is an indoor cat and at first I thought she was hiding in the house but I soon realized she was not in the house.  She must have gotten out somehow, because a neighbour who saw one of my lost cat posters found her hiding under her deck.  She was missing for a few days and must have spent the entire time there because she was quite scarred of their dog and had to be coaxed out.  I made this card for the Red & White Challenge at Crop Chocolate and FWF at Unity Stamps.  This is a thank you card for the wonderful neighbours who found her and helped get her home.

Supplies used:  Trinity Paper Arts Sincerely Yours paper, Unity Blossom Stackers, Spellbinders Floral Doiley motifs, Spellbinders Samantha Walker Blossom tags and accents, distress ink, and bling

Valetines Tags

Wow where did the month go?  It seems like last week that I was rushing to get my valentines out and now its the 25th.  These are tags I made one was for my daughter and the other was for a secret swap partner.  My swap partner has a very different style than I do so I decided to make one for my daughter and use it as a prototype for the second.  I love how both turned out and I love the script background stamp, it adds just a nice detail.

Note Cards for My Daughter

One of my goals this year has been to use more paper in my huge stash and one of the ways I have been doing that is by making cards for my daughter.  These are simple 3x4 note cards and the inside has a plain enough pattern so that I can write her a note.  She loves getting them and rarely do they come back so I am not sure what she does but she tells me she shows them to her friends.

Supplies used:

• MME So Sophie Savvy
• CTMH Stamps
• Spellbinders Lacey Circles

Valentine's Easel Card-FWF

I recently published an iGram for a "pizza style box" and one of the questions I get asked most often is what are they used for.  I like to use them for Easel Cards, they are the perfect holder, I made one to hold this Valentine card for my husband.  I got to use my unity stamps I got at Christmas from the EP Be Mine Collection.  They are so nice and I loved using my new stamps.

Subway Art Challenge

Our current challenge for the Crop Chocolate focus group was to create a subway art inspired project.  It has to be with 50% crop chocolate products so that ruled out Vinyl for me.  I have some but not the colors they sold and besides my vinyl is spoken for with projects.  I decided to create a stamped background instead, this isn't my usual style but that's the great thing about challenges they get you out of your comfort zone.
