I Heart You for PPA 284
It doesn’t get much heartier than this! Today’s card was inspired by the Pals Paper Arts challenge. Here is the banner that got me started… I didn’t see a valentine in this sketch at first. Then after I pulled out my Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack, the ideas…
A Beautiful Blessing
This is quite possibly my favorite paper of all the new DSP papers we have in the new catalog. It comes in the pack called Birthday Bouquet. And I got the idea of putting vellum over it from Connie Babbert. It softens it and makes it even more beautiful! This…
A Valentine CASE for Sunday
Happy Sunday to you all! I love looking through Pinterest for card ideas and inspiration. Every once in awhile I find one that says, “me, me, you have to make me!” This was one of those cards 🙂 The combination of Crumb Cake and Real Red really appeal to me. …

This card looks large in the photo, but actually it is only 3″ x 3″ – a small and sweet little valentine to share! You may not recognize the heart doily…yes, it is in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog. I turned it over to use the white back. The opposite…

Love Blossoms
Here’s a very feminine and flirty valentine for you today! It definitely isn’t limited to Valentine’s Day, though. This would make a pretty wedding or anniversary card as well. It’s a 4 1/4″ square card, so it will fit into a regular envelope – no extra postage required! I started…

Happy 2016!
Happy New Year to you! The house is very quiet this morning and I’m having some “me” time – reflecting on this past year and looking forward to the new year and the possibilities ahead… I don’t make resolutions as such. The pressure to keep them is too much. But…
