I started out with this beautiful bouquet from Doodle Pantry.

I added my ribbon wrap and bow to the bottom of the bouquet.

I framed it up with an embossed circle and

finished off the corner with a few rhinestones.

Love/Valentine Card ~ For You {2nd Post}

Oh my goodness where oh where did January go?

Can it really be the 24th already? Yikes.

Yesterday I noticed I had a few more followers.

WELCOME to all of you my 97 sweet followers.

(And those who follow by email. You know who you are)

I'm honored to have you stop by my little piece of cyberspace.

 

Today's card could be used for either a friendship or a Valentine.

I printed off the image but only used 2 of the sweet Doodle Pantry chicks.

I hand drew the letter and die cut the stitched heart.

I followed the sketch from Tuesday Morning sketches turning it sideways.

(I saw at Doodle Pantry that they are sponsoring their sketch challenge)

I used lots of embossing for added texture

 and finished things off with a simple bow.

 

 

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Triple Chicks image from Doodle Pantry. (It's a freebie. Thanks Laurie!)
*Love letter hand drawn by me.
*Small hearts from the Stitched Button Die set from My Creative Time.
*Background embossed using the Cuttlebug Cross My Heart folder.
*Banners embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.
*Oval cut using the die set from Spellbinders.
*Scalloped oval cut using the Lacey Ovals die set from Spellbinders.
*Copic markers
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad.

Here is the sketch I followed.










May your day always be filled with love.

First I'd like to wish everyone a  Merry Christmas.

Another thank you post...
Oh my goodness where did time go?
When I first received this wonderful image from Laurie at Doodle Pantry I had plans to make this card to send to two of my friends for Christmas but didn't get it done in time. {whoopsy}
Never fear I'll just make them some with a friendship theme and send them late. lol.
Back to the cute image...

How great is that. Thanks Laurie

Well I guess mother nature knows how I have been feeling the last few days...

A little gloomy since my summer break is coming to a close so she is treating us to a cloudy and wet day.

Teaching kiddos reading and math is an extremely rewarding job and I love it but I have enjoyed my summer vacation so much.

Spending time with family...

Our little vacation trip...

Getting to see 6 of my 7 siblings...

Having lots of time to craft...

Making the back to school thank you cards has been fun and I know they will come in handy once school starts.

I have so many things to do to get ready for school and I just can't get motivated to do them today. lol.
