Dinosaur Valentines

Today over at SSINKspiration we are showcasing our favorite animal stamp sets.  Here is mine...

No Bones About It

This is such a fun stamp set.  When searching the internet for Valentine's Day Ideas, I found a cute card with a small plastic dinosaur attached to it!  I LOVED this idea and so did my son.  So this is what we made...

Now we just have to duplicate this little card 14 times before Monday for his preschool class!  We can do it!

Please be sure to stop by the SSINKspiration main blog to see what the other Design Team Members created for you.  You won't want to miss these cute cards!!

Today my card was inspired by the FUN Sending Love DSP Stack!  I love all of the prints in this stack...and I think you will too.

One of my favorite things about my card today is that I used the Sweetheart Punch to create a fun white-on-white background to my card base.  Have you ever done this before?

Valentine's Day Tag

Today at SSINKspiration we are showing off a few tags.  With a holiday coming up, I actually had to make a few.  I had purchased these cute little boxes of chocolate for Noah's teachers and I wanted to jazz them up a little bit.

So here is what I came up with using my February 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit...

I just added a Smokey Slate button and some Basic Black Baker's Twine.  Then I glued this heart right on top of the box of chocolates!  Simple and very easy!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please be sure to stop by the SSINKspiration main blog today to see what the other Design Team Members created for you!  You won't want to miss these tags!

Today I am sharing my latest Scrapbook Club layout with you!  This month the hostess wanted to have a love/romance themed page.  So that's what I set out to create!

I love these pictures of my son!  He was such a little cutie 4 years ago (and he still is)!  My favorite part of this layout is the fun DSP from the It's My Party DSP Stack!  I really think I might need to get another package of this paper!  The patterns are just AWESOME!

Today I want to show you a few new products!  But first I will show you my card that could be used as a Valentine for your special someone...

I just love these NEW products from the Occasions Catalog.  I ordered a few items that I just and I think I used them all on this card!

New Products Used:

*Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper

*Essentials Wooden Elements

*Perfect Pennants Stamp Set (heart)

*Starburst Sayings Stamp Set

I also made a little 3D item for you while I was getting ready for my CROP this weekend!

All of the ladies that are attending my CROP will get one of these little goodies bags!  Aren't they just SO CUTE?!  

You won't find these in any catalog.  You can only find them in Stampin' Up!'s online store!  You can see them here.  I love these bags mostly because you get 12 bags, 12 tags and 12 strings...all for $4.95!!!  What a deal!

Here is an up close view...

I chose to add a little Red Glimmer Heart to all of my bags.  Those don't come with the kit but can easily be recreated using the Red Glimmer Paper and the Small Heart Punch!

Thanks for hopping along with us today!  Next up is Darcy and you won't want to miss what she has planned for you!
