Valentine

Today's card is a Valentine's card - hearts are a pretty safe bet when it comes to Valentine's Day and you can't go wrong with the colour red either - here is my card


I have used Very Vanilla as the base of my card with a layer of Cherry Cobbler, I then added smaller pieces of Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler. My stamped image is from the Simply Said SU set (now retired) and I added flat backed gems to the centres of the flowers.
I have a small heart punch which I used to create my border.

I would like to enter this card into the Pals Paper Arts challenge

Untitled

And also the sketch challenge over on Freshly Made Sketches


Now I know that this sketch is 'long' but I like to make square cards. I sell my cards and if they are square they are easier to package, store and price - so I followed the sketch and then mounted it on to a 5" x 5" card base. Ladies of the Freshly Made Sketches - please feel free to disqualify me if I have broken your rules.
Thanks for looking folks - hope everyone is managing to keep warm at the moment, I have just added a log to the fire and it's crackling away merrily - just need some tea and crumpets now!!!

    I just LOVE this--the rhinestones in the centers of the flowers are a great accent--I have this set and LOVE it and haven't used it in a while. I need to get it out!!! :)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!!

I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
