Another Valentine Treat

Here is a peek at the treats I am making for the croppers that are attending my all day crop this weekend.  I just love this little frog so I decided to use him again for a bag topper.

The filigree hearts were cut using the Artiste Cartridge.  They are found on page 72 of the booklet.  The solid hearts are from Art Philosophy and found on page26 of the booklet.

The frog is found in the stamp set C1638 Spring Critters in the new Seasonal Expressions.  I cut him out with the coordinating "Thin Cuts" Spring Critters die Z3207.  I used 3174 Blending Pen and coordinating inks to color him and added those wiggly eyes.  The XOXO is from the set S1504 - it is an old Stamp of the Month set called Typed Note.

I hope you enjoy your Valentine's day!

Joyful Stars February Blog Hop

  Welcome to the Joyful Stars February Blog Hop.  If you have come from  Nancy's Blog, then you are on the right track.  It is a circular hop, so you can just hop from blog to blog until you are back at the blog you saw first.  If you get lost along the way, please check out the list of participants on Joyce's Blog.
In honor of Valentine's Day this week, I have a little treat holder to share with you.  I bought these cute little mini coffee cups at the York Stamp Expo from one on the other vendors called Endless Creations.  They usually have the space right next to our booth so I have the opportunity to admire their make and takes and samples.  I purchased a large package of the cups and shared them with my friends but never actually got around to decorating one.  So, I finally decided that I would like to make them for a Valentine Treat. 

 Isn't that frog so darn cute!  He is from the stamp set C1638 Spring Critters in the new Seasonal Expressions.  I cut him out with the coordinating "Thin Cuts" Spring Critters die Z3207.  I used 3174 Blending Pen and coordinating inks to color him and added those wiggly eyes.  The XOXO is from the set S1504 - it is an old Stamp of the Month set called Typed Note.  The papers are from the new  pack called Regatta, Kaleidoscope and one of the Fundamental paper packs.  The cup is the perfect size for some valentine candy.

 This cup is one I made for my friends that attended a crop last weekend.  It uses an old paper pack called Lucy and a very old stamp set.  Sorry for using so many discontinued products, but that was what inspired me to finally decorate some of these cute little cups.

I hope you are enjoying our hop.  As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need help with anything.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Now it is time to hop over to Marie's Blog to check out her creation.

Charlotte Card

I have been enjoying playing with the all new Charlotte Workshops Your Way Scrapbook Kit.  It is in our new Seasonal Expressions Book.  Just look at all the beautiful components in the kit.  There are 12 pieces of Background and Texture paper, 3 sheets of Cardstock, Charlotte Complements, a roll of Black and Gold Ribbon, and a pack of Treasured Puffies.  When you use the online instruction sheet, the kit will yield three traditional layouts, one Picture My Life layout and 9 greeting cards!  WOW - what a great value at just $26.95. 

Today, I created a card using the card pattern in the instructions.  I used a leftover Picture My Life card and a different flower and the Thinking of You is from the January Stamp of the Month.  The flower, leaf and sprig is from C1641 Springtime Wishes. They were first cut using the coordinating Thin Cut Die Z3201 and then stamped using the Black Memento Ink Pad Z899, so the image did not bleed when using the watercolors.

I just love the delicate colors.  The kit is very versatile and can be used for many different occasions.
