I Heart You!!!

Did you know that February is Heart Month?  Makes perfect sense to me!!  Everywhere I look this month I see hearts!!  In honor of Heart Month our challenge over at Guylou's Inimitability will be "hearts". There has to be at least 1 heart on your project for this challenge.  Guylou recently added a new free digi image over at CDAC when she hit 500 members to her group.  There is a free image at her store when you become a follower.  She has added several new Heart themed images that would be perfect for this challenge, including the featured image that we are playing with today!  This image is so versatile!  I used a stamp from All That Scraps to sit on this awesome Love Seat image.  That is where my hearts are.  On that  Love seat!   And that sentiment from AmyR has some hearts.

Don't you just love this paper?  It is from My Minds Eye.  It is actually a Valentine line.  I have to say I love this lamp next to the Love Seat, it was fun adding some "light" shining out.

I hope you will hop on over and enter our challenge.

The winner will be awarded a digi image of your choice as well as be invited to be a guest designer on a future challenge and receive the feature image free for that challenge.  You will have until February 17th at  10:00 PM Est.  There is also some fabulous inspiration over there from Guylou's Design Team.  And Guylou has added some information for you over there for Heart month.
As always, thanks for stopping by today.  I have some fun stuff to share with you in the next few days so I hope you will stop back on by again!!

January Monday Guest Designer #5

How fun is it that January has 5 Mondays?  To me it means that I get to be guest designer for another Monday over at the All That Scraps Blog.  This has been so fun for me.  And I get another 4 Mondays in February, how fun is that?!!!  Just give me March and April too!! LOL, I love these stamps, what can I say, I have said for a long time that I love all of CC Designs stamps.  These ladies over there are so talented!!!
Anyways, on to the cards that were featured today.  I used the Love Lolita Butterfly and the Love Lolita Honeybee today.  The first sentiment came from the set by AmyR called Sassy Sentiments, there are so many fun sentiments on this set. You will be seeing a lot of cards with this set in the future!!

It is hard to see on camera, but there is a lot of texture on this card.  I used glossy accents and stickles on her wings.  The dots in the background came from a tutorial over at my friend Dana's Inspirations Blog.

Hers is so much prettier than mine, but with practice and different colors everything gets better!!

The next card is one of my fave little Valentines I have done.  I used a shaped Nestie to get the shape of the card and the image, then I used this fun cloud paper and cut out clouds.  The sentiment for this card is from the Funny Valentines set.  Can't wait to show you next month what else I have done with this fun set!!

 Isn't she cute!!!  I stamped her a second time and cut out her honey pot and wing.  Then I glittered up her wing with some Martha Stewart glitter and used Glossy Accents on her dripping honey.  Isn't that little bee charm the best?  Found that at Michaels on clearance.

Do you see that fun new Watermark?  That was done by my friend Dana as well, it just took me a while to figure out how to add it to my creations!!  

As Always, thanks so much for stopping by my blog.  Head on over to the All That Scraps Store and check out their gorgeous stamps they released for January.  And you know what, tomorrow is the first of February so I am sure they will be having a new release tomorrow. How fun is that!!!

All That Scraps Guest Design Team Spot #2

Hi everyone. I have been so excited to share with you my cards for the Guest Design spot over at All That Scraps,  Any of you that have been following my blog for a while will know that the CC Designs Stamps are some of my favorite stamps ever! In fact I have a huge collection of them, so you can just imagine how excited I was to ink up these darling Swiss Pixie Stamps that I received in the mail to play along this month for my Monday spots.  I may have a new favorite stamp.  Check out how darling this Swiss Pixie Violet with Key is.

I found this perfect paper in my stash.  For the life of me I can't find the maker.  If I find it I will post it.

Did you see the perfect sentiment?  That sentiment is from The Swiss Pixie Key and Lock set as is that darling heart in the right hand corner of the card and the key on the inside.  They also have an awesome new die cut set that I can't seem to get a hold of as it is out of stock!!!!  But I will, when it comes back in!!

My next card that was showcased today is another Swiss Pixie.  This time it is Swiss Pixie Sweetheart Birgitta.  She is perfect to put on one of CC Designs Sugar Plums Stump stamps.  

Can you see how I popped the mushrooms and Birgitta up to give dimension?

And of course an inside shot, check out the amazing Valentine paper by BoBunny.  So fun!!!

This was so fun sharing with you today. Hope you can make it back again tomorrow for a new challenge,  as well as next Monday for my next spot on the All That Scraps blog.  Thanks for stopping by!

Just Magnolia Anything Goes with Buttons!

Good morning!  There are so many fun Anything Goes challenges out there this month.  I found one over at http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/.  It is Anything goes with buttons.  I pulled out one of my favorite Magnolia stamps of all time.  I just love this Tilda with her striped socks and envelope.  I think I used this image 2 years ago for my valentines.  I should say, some of them. I never buy just 1 stamp!!  Why pay shipping on 1, ya know!!!  OK, so my project is not a card for a change, I made this darling little valentine with a tutorial from splitcoaststampers.  It is a Tea Bag Holder, but it has 2 ghiradelli squares in it.

The sentiment set is from AmyR Designs at All that Scraps. I just love these, and I am looking forward to spending some time with my 4 year old granddaughter making Valentines.  This set is perfect for little stampers.

The outer paper is from American Crafts, the inner is from one of last years lines from my scraps.  I only got 1 button on my card. But it is a darling red heart.  Did I overload you with pics?  I hope not.  Thanks for stopping by my blog, I will have several posts next week, so make sure you come on back!!!  I will have a Monday Guest Design post for All That Scraps!!!  I know, I know, but you have to know how excited I am to be showcasing for them!!!!  And then a post for a new team on Tuesday that I am really excited to share!!
Have a great Saturday, I am going to my grandson's 2nd birthday!!!  It is Elmo/Cookie Monster themed!  How fun is that!!!
