Yours Truly

I can't get enough of Pebbles' Yours Truly Valentine collection! This is one of those lines where the ideas just keep coming! 

(Buy Now - $2.99)

I've also been drawn to conversation hearts this Valentine season. For smaller hearts like the ones used on this card, a single letter to symbolize hugs and kisses works well.

If you adore Yours Truly like I do, you'll be happy to know I have many more projects to share with you between now and February 14th! :)

My parade of Valentine craft project continues today with this mini mailbox of love notes created with Doodlebug's Lovebirds collection. This project I made last year appears in this months issue of Paper Crafts and Scrapbooking. 

My favorite item in the line were these mini die cut envelopes and notes.

I wish I had more of them to craft with this year. Aren't they darling?

I used Doodlebug's mini 3"x3" Create-A-Cards for the bases.

Lovebirds is full of these adorable little blue birds.

This was a super fun project to make! And now it's a funValentine decor item for us to enjoy each year.

Here's the issue you'll find my little mailbox in along with an amazing assortment of cards and scrapbook projects from your favorite paper artists.

With Love

Brrrrr....it's a cold one outside today and the high winds just make it feel even nippier! At least the sun is shining bright and I have a card to share that should warm your heart! 

Have you seen Pebbles' lovely new Valentine's collection, Yours Truly? It's gorgeous! It's fun! And it's 25% off at Two Peas in a Bucket!

This collection includes chalkboard art which inspired my background...I used black card stock and wiped it with a white ink pad along with the embossed hearts. What do you think? Adorable collection? I'm in love and look forward to making lots of fun things with this line!

Keep warm! Thanks for visiting!

Love is in the Air

Hello! Christopher went back to school today and Dan returned to work. That means it's time for me to get back into my craft room and start whipping up some Valentine projects for you such as this card I created with Doodlebug Design's adorable new Sweetheart collection.

I'm smitten over the Kraft added to this line and the glittery chevron card stock! To create the 'love' sentiment and that sweet dotted heart, I used some Papertrey Ink dies. 

As I mentioned in my last post, I'll be giving Project Life a try this year so I'll be sharing those pages with you, along with all the new CHA lines from Bella Blvd and Pebbles. 

During the holidays I started a cross stitch project and finished a crochet scarf. I hope to mix things up a bit and add some of those projects to my blog posts too. It's going to be a creative year! I hope you will join me! 

Lovebirds

Hello!

Continuing on with yesterday's post about Valentine's cards and lovely new Valentine collections, look what I found when I was out and about yesterday! The Lovebirds line from Doodlebug Design is in stock at Archivers!

I just couldn't resist picking up a sheet of the new This and That stickers! Can you believe me? As a design team member I'll get these cuties in the mails soon, but I just couldn't resist!!!!!! Besides, I plow through stickers and accents so fast and I often want more!!!!

Isn't this line adorable?!?! And you haven't seen the half of it! I created this card with just the sticker sheet and a couple doodads that I already had....the flower brad and adhesive mini pearls.

Okay, tomorrow I promise to be back with a holiday project! :)

Have a great day!

Hi!

I hope you all have been having a wonderful holiday! I sure have! It's been lovely spending time with my boys and it's been lazy and relaxing! I barely came up to my office for two days! It felt so good to have a little break!

Today I'm going to try and ease back into things....slowly. Thought I'd start by leaving you a couple vintage downloads to play with when you get a chance.

Here's an image you can use for a New Year's card.

And since Valentine's Day is on its way, here's a cute image for your sweetheart!

So, will you be working this week? My husband and I are. Christopher has the week off to play with his new toys. I know some of our neighbors are on vacation for the week. Sounds lovely, doesn't it? Enjoy these last days of 2011!

Kathy :)
