Happy Birthday

Hello Bloggers,

I hope you enjoyed the nice weather this weekend!  It was so nice and relaxing, the sun was so bright and shiny.  Now today the sun was shining, but boy was it cold out there.  I guess the cold weather is back until next week.  In fact, we are suppose to get a little snow this week.  I don't know about you, but I am so ready for Spring to get here! 

Well, I am sharing a card I made for Lil' Inker Designs.  The have created an Instagram page and if you create a card using their products, your card will be entered into a drawing.  I just discovered Lil' Inker Designs in the last four months and I love their dies.  They cut so nice and crisp and they are a good quality of metal.  I am sold!  I can't wait to put another order in to add to my hoard!!!!  Speaking of "hoard", have you stopped by the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog?  This weeks challenge is a color challenge with a twist.

Happy Valentines Day - Mojo 331

Hi Bloggers,

I'm stopping in to play along with Mojo Monday.  This is about my second or third card that I have used the Fancy Pants Be.Loved. paper.  I have fallen in "love" with this collection.  I enjoy making Christmas and Valentine cards, red is my favorite color so I am thinking this is why I enjoy making them so much. 

It's the first Monday of the month, which means it's contest week at the Mojo Monday blog!  For every 50 entries there will be a random winner drawn to win a Verve set of their choice.  So hop on over to the Mojo Monday and create something using Verve's sketch.  It's a really fun one this week.

Also, I wanted to remind you there is still time to hop over to  Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog and create something that represents your style!   You can link your project up using the Link tool on the blog.  The challenge rules are HERE. 

 Thanks for stopping by, please come back soon.
