Floral Butterflies

I continued playing with the pattern paper I used for yesterday's card.  For today's card, I used grays instead of browns and butterflies instead of hearts.   I did sponge all the pattern paper edges using Smokey Slate whereas yesterday I used Tip Top Taupe on the edges.  The sentiment is from the Wetlands set.  I put the remainder of the stack of paper away for now as I wait for my Stampin' Up Layering Circles, due to arrive today.  I saw a really cute card using the Baby Bear stamp set and the Layering Circles.  Hoping to make that card later and post it tomorrow.  Have a great day!

Anniversary Hearts

I made a really pretty card using a 6 x 6 stack of paper I had purchased at least two years ago (probably at Michael's) and it sat in one of my trays until the other day.  I decided to create a vintage-looking Valentine but once it was completed it became an anniversary card.  My husband and I will be celebrating 43 years in February and I thought this is a pretty card to give him.  Now what should I write inside?  Have a great day!

Lawn Fawn Valentine

Happy Monday!  I received my new Lawn Fawn Love Letters stamp set and coordinating dies.  I used that stamp set for today's card along with the new Fancy Scallop Rectangle dies.   I stamped the images on pattern paper.  I then fussy cut each of the envelopes (easy to do since it you only have to cut straight lines).  I also stamped the middle envelope a second time on plain white cardstock, added the sentiment and fussy cut the little note so that it would fit right into the checked envelope.  This particular stamp set has pretty font and nice sayings, too, such as "Happy b-day", "thank you", "happy mail" and many more.  You will be seeing more from this stamp set in the future.  Have a great day!

Sydney's Creations

Today I want to share photos of Sydney's gifts to us this Christmas.  Sydney is very creative and she made us all Christmas gifts.  She used air drying clay colored with acrylic paints for my gift and Jenny's.  Sydney filled our little bird candy containers with our favorite candies and even added a little soccer ball to Jen's, too!  For John, she made him a rein"beer"!  She saw it on Pinterest and she even used one of John's favorite beers.  She also made gifts for Matthew and her Dad, but I did not get pictures of those gifts.  Sydney is a very creative 12 year old.  She always surprises me with the little things she creates.   Can you tell that I am just a little proud of my granddaughter?  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!
