My First Shaker Card!

Good morning!  Yes, you read it correctly!  I’m pretty sure this is my first shaker card.  I wasn’t going to start making them, but I found this fun heart confetti at Michaels in the packaging aisle and couldn’t resist!  PLUS, shaker cards are a great way to use up all that sequins we’ve been collecting since they became “in.”  The tricky thing about shaker cards is static electricity!  It was hard to “shake” and “tame” these hearts to sit nicely around the stamped sentiment!  Sequins training is in order!  LOL  Have a lovely day!  It’s almost Friday!  Woohoo!

stamps: Lil Inkers
dies: spellbinders hearts

Good morning!  I have a few tags that I had submitted for publication two years ago and finally got around to using them on some cards.  This first one was actually published in CARDS February 2012, when they still had a hard copy magazine (still sobbing about them going digital!).  Here’s the page…

All I did was slap a doily onto some pretty pink paper and voila, instant sweet Valentine card!  I did the same for the tag that wasn’t picked up…

I figure I should come up with a few “sort of masculine” CAS cards before taking my cards into work next week :)  Have a great day!  Hugs!

I Have Always Known it was You

Good morning!  Just sharing a little card today with that Top Dog Dies Madison Doily I made last month!  (see it HERE on this post ) I’ve been waiting for the perfect card to use it on and here it is!  I’m using one of my go to layouts that I just love to use with doilies :)  I was a busy girl in the studio this past weekend after class on Saturday :)  Have a great start to your week!  Thanks for stopping by!

I {heart} U ~ PTI Blog Hop, Card #2

Hi again!  I just had to make two cards for the Papertrey Ink’s Blog Hop this month! This is card #2 :)  I ordered the hearts cover plate and just had to use it before Valentine’s Day.  AND I just couldn’t resist tying a big beautiful bow on this one…it’s been awhile!   Thanks for stopping by AGAIN!  Have a great Saturday!

I Fell in Love ~ PTI Blog Hop, Card #1

Good morning!  I’m participating in the Papertrey Ink’s January Blog Hop today!  It’s all about “Pretty in Pink!”  How could I resist?  I broke out my heart Confetti Banner Border die and matching stamps.  I just love the versatility of these dies and stamps!  Perfect for any occasion!  Enjoy the hop!  I can’t wait to see all the pink!

Valentines 2013 Rewind and New Pin It Button!

Hi friends!  Thought I’d share a couple of Valentine’s cards from last year!  One has a traditional Valentine palette and the other does not!



I was procrastinating last night and determined to add a "Pin It" button to my images after several Follower requests.  I added a "Pin It" widget to my sidebar AND figured out how to put a "Pin It" button on each post image :)  I hope it comes in handy!  That’s it!  Just wanted to say hi!  Come back tomorrow for the new Viva La Verve Sketch!  Thanks for stopping by!
