Happy Valentines Day

Super quick post today before I head to work.    Here is a page from my very first hand bound book in which I've used retired Stampin'Up! DSP.  It's the first time I've doodled in the book and although the heart started to turn wonky as I worked toward the middle, I think I saved it by doodling a whole bunch of curly little hearts.

I used our old eyelets to thread the ribbon through and attached one of my last keys at the end.  I miss those keys - but this one I'll have forever.  There isn't too much room left to journal in - but sometimes you don't have to use a lot of words!

Happy Valentines Day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Smooch Spritz Mashup!

Even though this post is coming in late I'm pleased that I got the Friday Mashup done on Friday.  I will be using this card in my demonstration tomorrow.  First - the Friday Mashup begins with an inspiration photo

1. Make a project using the "Inspiration Photo".
2. Or Make a project using the colors "Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose & Whisper White".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project "Inspired by the photo using the colors Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose & Whisper White".

I used the Paper Doily Sizzlits die and used it as a mask for spritzing the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz over top.  It got a bit heavy in some section, but was okay once it had dried.

I think I'm ready for our Extravaganza tomorrow - I'll have more to share with you then - and one more spritz idea.  Have a wonderful weeked - thanks for stopping by.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to all...

I've not been feeling all that well lately, and sort of lost my Mojo....but I'm trying to get back into my stamping room and being productive!!!!!

I made this Valentine for my Husband. We sort of already celebrated it at the end of last week while we were at Teacher's Convention. It's an annual event of staying in the city at a hotel and having a fancy dinner one of the nights. It's one thing about convention that I look forward to every year.

I know that not everyone is into this holiday - my daughter doesn't like it and either do a couple of my friends.....and with the passing of this day we will be able to start stamping more springlike images in hopes that the snow soon disappears and all is restored to greens and florals. WoooHoo!!

Well, I hope you are having a marvelous Monday - Valentines or not - Thanks for stopping by!!! Joan

Coming Up Hearts......

Here are two more projects from the Extravaganza I was at this past weekend. I finally got to do a shutter card. I saw this as a SCS challenge quite a few months ago; folded the cardstock, but never got to finish the card. It looks so intricate, but it really is rather simple. And, I am TOTALLY sold on the bird punch now. I've seen people working with it, but now that I got to play with the punch.....it's super.

The main project we worked on in the afternoon was creating 30 different 3x3 Valentine notes from the "Love Sparkles" Simply Scrappin' Kit.
Tamye and Lori got the idea from CraftyPerson
Production. All the directions were easy to follow. I've gone to Debbie's website and she has a lot to offer so check it out.

Funny how we so easily move from Christmas to snowflake to heart motifs in our creations......WooHoo!!!!!

I hope you are having a wonderful day! Thanks for stoppin' on by!!

Valentine's Day is coming up quickly

Don't forget that Valentine's Day is coming up this week....we did these cute little packages in January. You can create these to give to friends, family, students, etc. Don't forget the glitter....it just glitzes it up.
