So sorry for the long break! As you know Oct-Dec is crazy busy for me as I participate in a couple of boutiques as well as getting ready for the holidays. I will resume posting regularly now that the holiday madness is over. Here is a Valentine-sy banner that I made for over my fireplace mantle (but really perfect for year around if I forget to change for the season don’t you think?  Because HIS love never fails).

145580-Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, 145563-Lots to Love Box Framelits (for the hearts), 141712 Large Letters framelits

I love the cards you can make using this Hearts Come Home bundle-clean and simple cards.

The first one was CASEd from Linda D and uses Smoky Slate, Night of Navy and the Year of Cheer DSP.  

Not sure who made the originals I based mine from but these use the Smitten Mittens bundle…

Fist card uses Pool Party and Vanilla.  2nd card uses Soft Sky, Crumb Cake and Vanilla.

a couple of cards using Santa’s Sleigh stamp set/framelits from the main catalog…

The first card is made using Merry Little Christmas DSP.  2nd card uses Be Merry DSP (CASEd from Mary F I think).

Smitten Mittens bundle (146070); Snowflake Sentiments stamp set; Garden Green inked; Quilted Christmas DSP stack; Pretty Label and Everyday Label punches; 1/2″ Silver natural trim.

Simple and serene…love this new bundle!

This is the first shaker card I’ve offered in a class in over 10 years!  Forgot how easy they are to make, especially with our new Foam Adhesive strips (141825).
