Celebrate your Valentine with a scrapbook page

Who's your favorite Valentine?  Celebrate that relationship by creating a scrapbook page all about them.  This layout was created using the Buzz and Bumble Workshop on the Go kit.

Attach the photo to the top of the center flap.  Under the flap there is a space for hidden journaling.  Tell the story of how you met or why you are meant for each other.

Whooo's Your Valentine?

I love the new Treat Tubes that are included in the Whooo's Your Valentine kit.  They can be used to create lots of different themed projects.  I used the Whooo's Your Valentine kit to create gifts and favors for other holidays and occasions.

Valentine's Day Cards


Happy New Year!  I don't like to make New Year's 'resolutions' because I always feel destined to fail. So, this year I'm just going to set a new 'goal' . . .  Make more handmade cards!  Now, even if I only make one or two I can count myself as successful :-)  I'm starting with some lovely Valentine's Day cards.


This card uses the January 2013 Stamp of the Month "Happy Valentine's". The roses were stamped on white paper with black ink, then colored in using a Q-tip as a dauber (Cranberry and Garden Green inks). Then, I cut them out and adhered them to the black card.  The sentiment is stamped using Colonial White ink.

This card uses a similar technique, but the top rose is raised with pop dots and the card is accented with Cranberry ribbon.  
 
Finally, I made a small 3" x 3" gift tag.  The background roses are stamped with second generation Cranberry and then "Happy Valentine's Day" is stamped over them in black.
