My Pink Stamper Blog Hop Challenge Feb 2012

Robyn over at My Pink Stamper has issued a challenge as part of her blog hop.  The challenge is to make a project with the following criteria:



Use the color red, a circle, a pink ribbon and MORE THAN ONE  My Pink Stamper stamp. (If you don't own any of my stamp sets yet, that is okay!  Use what you have).  Also, use a die cut with this challenge!  Anything will work!
so... I don't own any of Robyn's wonderful stamps yet.  I sure would love to win some!  So here's my chance with this challenge. She's giving away 6 of her stamps sets, winners choice! *Squeal* My card is for my littlest girl for Valentine's day. 

The stamps I used are from My Creative time. "You're so sweet" is from the "This & That" set.

"I love you with all my heart..." is from the "My Favorite Sayings" set.

I have my pink ribbon,  the color red, the circle and a die cut.  I cut my ladybug from the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge. 

I drew the white hearts in with a gel pen and added the grass (using my fiskars punch) to pull a little of the green out of the patterned paper. 

Thanks for looking.  Hope you'll play along and submit an entry. 

DCWV Valentine Card

DCWV is having a contest on their Facebook page. You can check them out HERE. You just have to post a picture of a Valentine card made using DCWV papers by February 14th.  They'll have a random drawing and the winner will get 3 of Erin's favorite new stacks from the CHA show!!!!  Count me in!

Here's the card I made using the Love Letters stack for the most part.  The red paper embossed using my Sizzix Hearts #4 embossing folder is from the Holiday Shimmer stack.  The "Cherished", "Bird", "For my Love" and the "Heart" are all cut out from the journaling tags page of the Love Letter stack.  Sure makes it easy to embellish. : )

Thanks for looking. Have a wonderful day.  Each comment is a blessing. Don't forget to leave one. : )

School Valentine's

I wanted to make Valentine Cards for my son to give to his classmates. I had him look at the Create-a-Critter cartridge book and he picked out a different image for each of his classmates.  I got the idea for making the 3x3 card from Jeri at Bug 'n Me Creations and she also gave a list of really cute sentiments to use along with the Critters.  I made up a few of my own too.  It was a fun project.
Anyway, here's a look at the cards:

 A little closer look.... I'm wishing I hadn't written their names on the front but what's done is done.

 The Peanut Guy is my son's favorite. He thinks it "hilarious!"

So the Sheriff's badge sentiment I came up with is: You're definitely one of the good guys.

The Peanut Guy's sentiment I came up with is: I'd have to be nutty not to wish you a happy Valentine's Day.

The Rainbow sentiment I came up with is: May your Valentine's Day be as wonderful as all the colors of the rainbow. 

To make these cards a little EXTRA FUN.... I made each of the characters a magnet!  So the kids can take them off the card and put them on their fridge or something. : ) 

Since I it was an after thought I didn't "hide" the metal washer. If I had planned it out, I would have put the washer underneath the green layer. : )

I added a magnet to to the back of the Critter

and ta-da!!!  It's attached and super fun for the kids.

The card for his teacher has 3 magnets.  She collects monkeys.  So we made her this:

 As you can see from the above picture, I had lined them up all the same.  But since they are magnets on the washer, you can move them around and put them however you would like.  My sweet son wanted them to look like they were doing a cartwheel and this is how he lined them up!  Love that boy!

Well, that's my very long post for today.  I hope it gave you some ideas you'd like to try. 

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful and blessed day.
