Happy ♥ Day!

Oh, my!!! Sorry it took me so long to get back here, after the aaaawful storm and both kids destroying the house, I needed to catch up on housework, laundry and all the little things we moms do to keep the house nice and neat :)

But I am back! LoL! Valentine's Day is approaching and a lot of people feel "iffy" about it, but I lve it! It is commercial holiday, but so many people don't express their love verbally and this is the perfect day to do so. And who doesn't love pressies (especially the chocolate ones .....).

I like pink & red, so I seized my moment to decorate with these two bright colors. I made a lovely garland spelling "Happy Day". I will update the close-up pictures as soon as my camera charges, that poor thing died while shooting the pics today. I've been using her daily - working on my Project Life by Becky Higgings. What an excellent idea. I've been loving it!!!



ENJOY!!!

No Stamps used. Papers are from last year's (or maybe even older) Valentine's DCWV's collection. Hearts are cut using Spellbinders. Little middle border is by Martha Stewart's Tiny hearts scalloped edge (yep, I just made that name up). Pink crepe paper, pink ribbons and sparkly yarn. Nothing too difficult of too fancy - although, I think it looks pretty fancy ;)
I've got those cute golden angels at Michaels. I might be coming back for more. They are just so darn cute! I cut out the letters with my Cricut and Lyrical Letters cartridge, sparkled them up with Zing Embossing Powder - sparkling red, few Prima roses.

That's it!

Have a fabulous day!

Card no. 88 - Sweet & Simple

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Hope this one will be as good as 2010 or better.

I decided this year, that I will not make any resolutions - I pick a word - a word that should mean something - and live up to that word.
My word for 2011 is "Appreciation".
I even started a "little" diary where I will write (ideally) every day what I appreciate about that day, who & why.

We went to see Cirque du Soleil today and it was FANTASTIC!!! WowZies! Absolutely fantastic. If you've never gone and are thinking about it, it's worth seeing! The acrobats are truly stunning.

Today's card was made yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to upload it, until now. It's very simple and I thank the wonderful Alice from Alice's {Little} Wonderland for the brilliant idea. She is super talented and I juuuust love how beautiful and simple her cards are. Her blog is one of few I visit pretty much daily.

The Front View

I used one of my "never inked" stamps - the beautiful Suzette by Kraftin Kimmie - and colored her with ProMarkers & Copics and sparkled her up with some Punch Stickles & Copic's Spica Glitter Pens. What a fun Stamp!

The Image Detail

These beautiful rose flowers are by Prima and the middle one is from Magnolia-licious received as a gift. Thank you, they are truly beautiful!

The Flower Detail
The paper is plain Kraft paper from Jo-Ann's and I think DCWV (not sure about the collection, though). I sprayed the finished card with Tattered Angels' Glimmer Mist in Gold. Yummy!

The card is for my sister-in-law's 30th Birthday (as you can tell). Happy Birthday Em!

The Inside View
Challenges:
Stamp Something - Glitter (Stickles is glitter, right?)
Passion for ProMarkers - Anything goes


ENJOY!!!

Happy Saturday everyone! I have a sweet Easel card to show you today that I made with the super cute new Whiff of Joy stamps from the October release.

I made this card to donate to a local Mommies Network for their annual holiday auction. All the proceeds will be donated to local mommies.
