Lots of Love

Happy Friday! You made it through the week! I hope the weekend holds something fun for you - maybe a little crafty time?

Today I'm playing along at Time Out Challenges where you need to choose two of the above words to work into your design. I'm going with Heart and Love!

I wanted a frilly romantic looking Valentine today. I started with the LOVE Shaker die from Pretty Pink Posh and embellished it with images (rose, XOXO, leaves, mini heart banner) from the Valentine Holder Additions die set.

I chose a blue background and added an XO texture with the XO XO Pierced Plate. I cut about an inch off the panel so I could add Doily Border die cuts underneath for a little extra detail.

I wanted to complete the "LOVE" word sentiment so I added a stamped "Lots of" from the Valentine Greetings stamp set. It actually said "Lots of Love" and I cut the "love" off it. A few Caribbean jewels add a bit of sparkle to the design.

Hugs to you and have a great weekend!

Keep Smiling!

It's been a cold winter for most of us! The only one that doesn't seem to mind too much is the dog! She's still expecting her walk every morning. I'm always trying to find the bright side and notice the little things. I'm really enjoying seeing footprints in the snow lately and trying to figure out the different animals that left them!

But I'm still missing my garden and time outside. Whenever that happens I turn to my studio for some crafty time with some pretty florals. If you feel the same way I hope you'll check out the You Are My Sunshine Collection from Pretty Little Studio.

This collection is sun shine and blue skies. And, you'll find lots of realistic florals that are sure to satisfy your longing for warmer days. I love the positive sentiments like the one above.

This collection has all the extras too.. die cut frames and borders, different size clear, vellum and pattern paper, stickers, faux stitches and more so there's no limit to what you'll make.

Sending you sunshine and big hugs!

Howdy!

Well howdy! I hope you're having a great day! Today I'm playing with some new dies I bought for myself over the holidays. Mr. J. tells me to pick what I want and I wanted these from Concord & 9th!

Where to start? That Mystic Moth background is fabulous! I did a monochromatic inlay in shades of peach/orange. I love that I can pop out the moths and use them "as is" too if I like!

I topped that fun background with the Bootcut die. The set includes lots of ways to embellish the basic boot design - you can add a stitched detail, flowers, stars, or this mesa design.

The set also includes some florals so you stuff the boot full of flowers. I added gem centers to the flowers as well as some gold glitter horseshoes and gems for even more bling!

I'm linking up to Time Out Challenges where they want you to make with something you love to do. Well I love to make personalized cards that make the recipient feel extra special. This card is for my daughter in law who loves anything country!
