5 Reasons Why...

......I Love You!

Sweet little love notes leading up to Valentine's Day. I made 2 sets, one I'll tuck in places for Ryan to find and another set for my Etsy shop!

Also created for the CR84FN Color Challenge.

Cardstock/Paper: PTI Kraft, Sweet Melody

Stamps: PTI Polka Dot Basics, Heart Prints, Tin Types, Fancy Flourishes, Sheet Music

Old Fashioned Valentine

Using the Tea Dye Duo to stamp my images created the subtle effect I was looking for.  I used Chai to stamp the butterflies and BB Sheet Music.  At first they appeared too dark, but as the ink dried it faded to the perfect subtle shade.

Have a great day!

Vintage Birthday

This is such a different style for me, but it was really fun to create.  I started out gathering things and creating embellishments with a vintage quality to them for my Etsy shop.  Then I liked them so much  I wanted to use them too! 

I replaced the pieces I "stole" from the kit and it will be in my shop soon:)

Have a great day!

Just A Note

I love the way Maile colored her little birds, leaving white bellies!  I couldn't resist adding a little sparkle to their wings, especially since I didn't plan to use any ribbon.
Have a great weekend!!
