Blushing Valentine

This is the valentine card I made for my husband in December.  I know that 's planning ahead.  A reporter from The Villages Sun came over to do a story about making valentine cards in mid December.  This is the over the top one I made for them to photograph.  I then demonstrated some super easy ones.  If you live in The Villages check out the February issue of The Villsges magazine.  I just created this post on the mini tablet my husband purchased for me six months ago.  Isn't he sweet?  Turns out it is really easy to create a post from it.  Maybe you will see more regular posts from me.☺

Pop-Up Birthday

I had some time now that the Holiday Rush is over for me.  The parties in The Villages are over and many people have left for Christmas or are busy with company.  I finally have time to play with my new stuff.  I love this new birthday suite of products.  Both the cake on the front of the card and the Hip Hip Hooray on the inside can be popped out on the inside.  The Party with Cake stamp set has lots of fun sayings for the inside.  Just what we have been asking for!

Botanical Gardens Post It Note Holder

Here is the first post it note holder I made for a gift for someone special.  I used the new Botanical Gardens DSP, Botanical Blooms stamp set, and Botanical Builder Framelits Dies.  All these products are in the Occasions catalog starting January 5, 2016.  Come check out all the new products at an Open House on January 5 at Nancy Thompson's house.  More information on my blog in the next 2 weeks.   I sponged a little ink on the edges of the flowers to make them pop.  I used 3" x 3" post it notes.  The cover dimensions are 6 3/4" x 3 1/4".  I scored at 3 1/4" from each end.  I used tear and tape to adhere the post it note paper inside.  The DSP is cut at 3" x 3".  Here are 2 more.  Which is your favorite?  If you would like a Occasions catalog, contact me today or attend our open house on January 6, 2016.
