Today I have been working on a card for blog challenges, and it is going to a friend that just got out of the hospital.   The paper is from a Recollections Valentines paper pack.   It is a standard A2 card with a spellbinders die in the center.   The butterflies are from a SU die, the leafs are a Martha Stewart punch.   The brads were found in my stach box.    I am entering this in these blog challenges: http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/ http://ribboncarouselchallenge.blogspot.com/ http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2012/02/shopping-our-stash-challenge-39-metal.html   http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/2012/02/ptt55-get-well-wishes.html   Hope you like this, hope you have a great day.

Today I have been working on a card for my husband for valentine’s.   I used some g c d studios paper I found in my stash and a cut from my Imagine, the label is a spellbinder die. I cut the sun from the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge and pop doted the layers. Hope you like this, hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Today I made a few boxed for the grandkids to give their teachers for Valentine’s Day.   On my girls box I put one of the flowers I made from the Flower Shop cart.   The other I used two  cuts from Lori’s garden and used my Imagine.   They turned out very nice and they are filled with all kinds of candy.  Hope you like these, have a wonderful day.

Here is a cute little card I made for several blog challenges.  I have had this stamp for years and never used it.  I don't even know where I purchased it from.  The designer paper is from the g c d studios and Recollections.  I used the imagine to make the cuts and a MS punch.    Hope you have a wonderful evening, thanks for stopping by.

Today we finally got totally moved out of the other house.   All cleaned up and ready for the new renters.     After that I worked on the first 2 flowers in the Flower Shoppe cart.   I got it a few weeks back when JA had it on sale.   I have been wanting it for a while and just picked it up.   I have to admit they did not turn out the way I thought.   I love the centers and think I will use them by themselves.   These are both cut at 3 inches an colored with SU inks. The light pink one I added some glossy accents and glitter, the darker one I spritz.     Hope you like these, have a wonderful day.

Here is a nice card I made for a guy birthday.  It is so hard to find something that a guy would like.  I very much like using flowers and frillie stuff, but that does not go on a guys card very well. The challenge today on http://365cards.blogspot.com/ was to use brads. I thing I have had these for a while. I use brads more at Christmas time then any other. This card uses a tag from CM. I found it in a stack of paper that I had forgotten about. Hope you like this, thanks for stopping by.
