Sweet Little One

Good Morning!

Today I am honored to be DT & Guest DT at the same time. This weeks challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is to Pop It Up! I love popping up things on my cards. This week I choose all they layers. Each layer is popped up which gives it great dimension.

A couple of weeks ago I won over at Use It Tuesday and won a guest DT spot! The theme is All About Baby. I love that you have to use your hoarded supplies to play! I have a hard time cutting my favorite ribbon or sending out cards with my favorite charms etc but it was fun to use these and see how beautiful they are on cards. Lili of the Valley makes the prettiest new baby stamp which I have used on this card. I have not made a baby card in years so this was a challenge for me but I like the way it came out.

Pull out those baby stamps, pop them up and use your hoarded supplies and play in both challenges!! I had alot of fun making this card and I am sure you will too!

The other wonderful challenges this card meets are:
Cooking it up with Katie - 3 Favorite Things (Flowers, Dies, Charms)

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Tuesday! How are you? I am having a busy week at work but luckily I had a nice relaxing weekend. I was really lazy except for making some cards which was fun!! It is hard to believe it is February here. We have had almost no snow and the temperatures are warmer than usual. I hope this isn't the calm before the storm and we get all our winter snow in a week.

Today's challenge at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is Valentines Day! It is right around the corner and time to think about making a card for anyone in your life that you want to say I love you. I chose this image from Mo Manning to make my card. It is fun, cute and reminds me of when we were young and had our first crush.

So get out those Valentines images and join the fun!!
