Valentine Goodie Bags

These are some 'Valentine treats' I made to donate to the goodie bags at our Local Salsa Babe classes for new mommies ... and nothing like a nice hot cup of herbal tea and a mini chocolate for a new mommy!

Projects featured Love Expressions DSP, filled with Love Stamp set, Love Epoxy brads, Glitter paper, Scalloped Heart Embosslit and Heart punch and striped grossgrain pretty in pink ribbon!

Close up of the inside of the pouch which is large enough to hold a nice thank you card, tea or hot chocolate package, chocolates and other goodies!

Colour Q 70

Colour Q challenge this week as so pretty - however since I did not have the colours in traditional papers I opted for my trust MDS option!

I was a week behind in getting out my Mojo Monday - however still wanted to play along so the lay out inspired by Challenge 175.
So with the background layer Cameo Coral I layered it with the Poppy Parade and the Love Impressions Folder textured brush stamp in Vanilla with an opacity to help create the illusion of the actual emboss folder.

I than created a 2 1/2 inch circle punch and filled it with Botanical Garden DSP and than applied the Greeting Card Kids with a little heart punch in the Poppy Parada.

The banner in the background was created with the Heart to Heart punch and overlapped hearts filled with a variety of Early Espresso DSP set to a lower opacity so that the Poppy Parade shines through!

Sentiments are from the Filled With Love brush set download!

January Team Challenge

This month's Team Challenge from my upline Mentor Liz Goldhawk is to find a card in the new Occasion's Mini and use it as an inspiration for a card with the stamp sets you have from the Occasion's Mini ... totally lots of fun looking through trying to choose just one card as inspiration - they are all so awesome!

So here is mine as inspired from the card on page 13 - since I do not have the Thanks for Caring set yet I opted for the Take a Spin stamp set and did it up in Valentine colours of Real Red and Pretty in Pink and paired those with the Filled With Love promotion DSP paper "Love Impressions"...and again with some Frost Shimmer paint sponged along the edges of the framed tulip folder ... cause I need me some bling on my cards!

I am totally in love with the Trinkey Keys and Crowns found on page 24 - they are awesome with the Valentines theme of 'key to my heart'.

If you are inspired to play along with the challenge please feel free to share a link to your card in the comments section so we can see!

Mojo Monday 172 Challenge

Well so far sticking to my New Years Resolution to engage in more challenges and get myself thinking outside my comfort zone!

This card is inspired from the Mojo Monday Challenge ... with my Occasions Mini Open house coming this weekend I was also inspired to use my new Heart Pressed Letter Plate plate as well as the Glimmer paper and well I also snuck in a little bit of the Filled With Love promotional items as well ... multitasking where possible is another New Years Resolution :)

I love the treat cups for Valentines as well - this one I filled with some sequence X and O's!

Mojo Monday 171 Challenge

Well it has been a busy week with Christmas travels and so forth so once again I am multi-tasking in the craft room trying to complete a few goals all in one card!

Today's card is inspired by the Mojo Monday challenge - I just love seeing all the vastly different cards participants make with the similar layout!

I opted for creating a 4x4 square card as I am currently out of 6x6 envelopes and well this card will fit in a standard envelope.

In addition this card is for my upcoming 'card swap' with my team. So for this swap the criteria was to create a card that showcases your current favorite set - as I have so many favorites I chose the Greeting Card kids cause I was in the mood to water colour...and well she is just SO cute!

In my multitasking efforts this cute little card also is showcasing the Filled with Love Bundle promotion that we currently going on by showcasing the Love Patterns Designer series paper as well as the Filled With Love stamp set...can't you just see yourself making some homemade Valentines and scrapbook layouts with this cute set!

And finally a little sneak peek from the upcoming Occasions mini with the marvelous Real Red Glitter paper and some Rhinestone gem bling on my sentiment...I am hosting an Open House on Saturday January 8th for anyone who wants to come check out all the goodies the new mini catalog has to offer and make a couple projects!
