Valentine's Day card

Hello Stampers!  My youngest daughter was home from college this weekend so I was able to give her the Valentine's Day card I made her.  

She LOVES elephants, so I always try to incorporate an elephant in her cards!  This year I just had to use the A Little Wild stamp set!  The little animal butts in this set are so cute!!

Here is the card that I made her:

 When you open up the card, the backside of the elephant is there!  The elephant is actually attached with a thin strip of window sheet.  If you look closely you can see it under the elephant feet!  

I think she really liked it!  I hope you enjoy it too!  Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you think!  Also let me know if you make Valentine's cards!  When you leave a comment your name will be put in a drawing for a free card every day!  Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine Shadow Box

Hello Stampers!  Every month I take a shadow box at a local craft store.  We all take our Silhouette machines and complete our projects!  It is so much fun!  Here is the project that we made in yesterdays class:

The frame is 9" X 9".

I also have a Cricut machine, and of course my Big Shot, which I love both just as much!  So who else has numerous machines for their crafting?  Let us know in the comments and tell us if you have a favorite!  The card that I will be drawing for tomorrow is this card:

Valentine sampler

Hello Stampers!  My team recently decided that we were going to start swapping 2 X 2's in addition to our monthly cards.  What is a 2 X 2 you ask?  It is simply a 2" X 2" square that you decorate according to set guidelines such as colors and themes.  Our theme for our January swap was Valentine's and the colors needed to be Real Red, Pink Pirouette, and White.  Then we can take our squares that we receive and do whatever we want with them!  Some are making these samplers, some are using them on cards, etc.  Here is the sampler that I created with mine:

I simply mounted them on a 12 X 12 sheet of Whisper White cardstock with an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock on top.  

Here are who made each square starting on the top row:

Top - Sheila, Debbie N., Pat V., Pat B.

2nd - I added the Bloomin' Heart thinlit, Lynn, Deb G.

3rd - Linda, Debbie H.

4th - Diane, Ann, mine

5th - Joan, Julie, Kathy, Sandy

Some of the products that were used are retired, so if you see something old, that is why.

Thanks for stopping by!  If you make your own sampler, I'd love to see it!
