It's a Chick's Friendly Valentine Parade!

I Hope you all are having a FABULOUS Friday. Today's project is a Challenge hosted by Mandy at Limelight. Every month she challenges her design team to a project. This months project was to make a Valentine gift and matching card for a friend. PERFECT!! I love challenges, and was more than happy to create a project for my friends.

You see, I have 2 very good friends that are serious card makers, and they are also my my partners and crime on my shopping trips, so I made each of them a mini tote bag filled with mini snickers, and a matching card. My tote bag was inspired by Beth Matson.

Once again, I have used Lilly & Billy set by Pink Cat Studio, and Bittersweet DP by basic grey. I also used 2 different sized Prima flowers. All can be purchased at Limelight.

While making this card, I ran out of red gems. So I took clear gems and colored them with my copic markers. They worked perfectly. You have got to love the Copics.

If you have not had a chance to visit Limelight Papercrafts, now is the time to head over there. They are having a SALE and have a CLEARANCE section at the store! And let me tell you, NOW is the time to be stocking up on CARDSTOCK of all types! All of our Bazzill, DoubleMates (Worldwin), and Waste Not Paper cardstocks are 30-50% off!!

Best Friends

Good Morning. I hope you're having a SUPER Sunday. It has been kind of a quiet weekend for me, and I must admit I am enjoying every minute of this relaxing weekend. I got a chance to sit down and play with one of my new Whipper Snapper stamps. I just think these little girls are so cute.

I combined my new stamp with some Basic Grey paper (which can be purchased at Limelight Papercrafts, they are having a sale). I think it's a cutesy kind of card. well, I am hoping to get some homework done, and get some more card made. I am wishing you a quite creative day. Smiles!!!!

Materials
STAMPS: Whipper Snapper (girls), Amuse sentiment
INK: Copics, Memento
PAPER: Basic Grey (urban Prairie)
misc: ribbon, whiter Pen, brads

A Sweet Valentine for a Sweet Girl

It's a Winter Wonderland Wednesday here in NH. We got another snow storm, and school (for the kids & I) was cancelled. The kids and I stayed in our PJ's all day. It was so nice. We did a little stamping, a little lunch, and few games. I have to admit, I LOVE a day with no commitments. We had no place to be, and no time restraints. I think there should be more days like today.

I was having a "not so" creative kind of day today, and after starting a few cards, I decided to pull out my new "Lilly and Billy" set from Pink Cat Studio. This set is so cute, and can be used for so many different kinds of cards.

I made today's Valentines Day card for My Goddaughter Maeve. This little Lilly on the card reminds me a little of my Goddaughter. The both are tiny, cute, and they both have pigtails that stick straight up. SO CUTE!

While photographing my card today, I noticed that the picture doesn't pick up the sparkle at all. So, I took a close up picture, hoping you can get a better feel for the sparkle on the card. I used my new Angel Wings Shimmerz on the heart, and my diamond Stickles on Lilly's hair pieces. Have you ever tried Shimmerz? It is a must try product.

Have you visited the Limelights Papercrafts online store? Well, go ahead and take a peek. They carry all the products I used on my card today, including the new Lilly and Billy stamp set. I hope you all had a wonderful day and keep warm!

materials

Stamps: Pink Cat Studio
paper: basic grey
ink: memento, copics
misc: punches, shimmerz, stickles,popdots, ribbon
