Have I Told You Lately....

Hello!  Today I am sharing a card using the hope4us (heart image) and the quote2love (sentiment) sets from The Stamps Of Life.  I really love the bold images in the hope4us set.  I stamped the heart in black on a scrap of DP leftover from my Authentique Wonder paper pad.  I also used some old text from a book.  I tore, inked and layered the paper behind the heart.
Always remember when you are using text from old books to scan what it says before adhering it to your card.  This is a card about love, but I noticed one of my torn papers, had a quote about death on it...not really appropriate!  Glad I caught it before gluing it down on the card!  :)
Hope you all had a fab weekend.  We were busy with basketball games, game night with neighbors, and a birthday party at Pump It Up.  We hadn't been there in a couple of years, so it was fun to jump around with the boys.  My parents even joined in the fun.  I can sure feel it in my legs and behind today with all of that jumping and climbing!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love You So Very Much!

Hello! Today's card features a new release from The Stamps Of Life called quote2love.  I stamped the scripture onto the white panel with Antique Linen distress ink.  The sentiment is stamped with Stephanie Barnard's Licorice ink.  I inked the edges of all of the paper with distress ink.  The large heart is DP by My Mind's Eye-Lost & Found collection.

It has been super cold around here. We had a mere dusting of snow, but not enough to have fun with! Bummer.  I say, if it isn't going to REALLY snow this year, then bring on spring.  I don't mind the cold if it looks pretty outside and there is snow (real snow) to talk about.  Of course, everyone in the Cincy area FREAKS OUT at the mere mention of the S word.  It is ridiculous, to say the least.  There were actually school closings the other day. For what, you ask?  Not even 1/2 inch of snow!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Stamps Of Life: List2write new release!

Hello!  Long time no blog.  I am trying to get caught up after the holidays and back into a routine.  My mojo has hit a brick wall, too.  I haven't been in my craft room in a while.  Luckily, I have some cards that I made for this release last month.  The new set from The Stamps Of Life is fabulous!  List2write can be used for cards, scrapbooking, mini albums and more.  I decided to make a card for my hubby for our upcoming anniversary.  I paired it with an older set, love2hug.  This would be cute for Valentine's day, too.

Remember...you do not have to be a club member to get this set.  As a club member you will enjoy great perks such as 15% discount on all stamps, freebies from Stephanie like mini stamp sets and storage sheets for your stamps.  Stamps sets are always shipped for $1 in the US, and $1.50 in Canada. You can not beat that shipping rate!

Thanks for stopping by,
