love knots stamp for a Valentine's layout in July!

Since I don't scrapbook in chronological order, it's not unusual for me that I'm doing a V day layout. For some of you, I may seem crazy. This is the card that my boyfriend sent with my flowers from Valentine's day this year.

I wanted to use the Love Knots stamp with this layout. I stamped with tin can silver ink from Prima chalk ink onto black cardstock. Isn't it pretty?

Crazy for chevron!

I know that I can't be the only person that loves the look of a chevron pattern on their projects on in home decor.  When I saw this new set by gel-a-tins I fell in love and couldn't wait to get it in my hands.  You may have seen a little sneak peek of this card if you're a fan on our Facebook page, but here's the whole thing!

The set is called Chevron Stripes and it has eight different size and style chevron strips that you can use to make your own chevron pattern in any color and on any background you want.  I used two different sizes on this card (one for the card base and one on the star).  Be sure to check out our sponsored online retailer, Stampn-Scrapn for this set if your local store isn't carrying gel-a-tin stamps yet.

Have a wonderful weekend!
