HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day. I wanted to show you some cards that I made.
(I apologize for the blurry picture.) How cute are these? I used the 'light up my life' pattern set from Designs on Cloud 9.
I also included these adorable light bulb jars that I found. I filled each one with 'butter flavored popcorn' jelly beans. OMG, they are so tasty too.
Here is a shot of one of the cards when fully opened.
Here is a close up of the card front. I am so happy with how these came out. I hope all my Valentine's enjoyed them too.

LOVE IN THE AIR

I just finished up this adorable one page layout and had to share. (I dont even think the glue is dry yet.)
       This is the 'hot air balloon' pattern from Designs on Cloud 9.
I created these cute roses with the 'curly flower' pattern. I 'dressed' them up a bit by sticking two different shades of pink pearls in the middles.
The two mats were made from the 'photo mat fun' pattern. Perfect for pictures or jouraling. Both mats were machine sewn with hot pick thread.
Thanks so much for looking. I hope love is in the air for you.

YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME

Hello again. I have a great easel card to share with you. I just love all the rich colors.
This is a shot of the card fully open.
I created this by using yet another fabulous pattern from Designs on Cloud 9. This is from the 'live green' set. Isn't the Earth so cool? I actually used this as a birthday card for my good friend Lois, but it would also make a really cute Valentine's Day card too. Thanks for looking.

OWL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

How awesome is this? This is my very first attempt at a suprise pop up slider card and I absolutely LOVE how it came out.
This is what it looks like flat. The paper piecing is from Designs on Cloud 9. I used regular red cardstock as the base and just randomly drew heart with a black marker.
This is what the front looks like once you pull the ribbon tab. I embellished it with roses made from the curly flower pattern (also from DC9). Thanks so much for looking.

Here is my project. This is a two page scrapbook layout. It features the 'gnomes' pattern set from Designs on Cloud 9.
                           How cute huh?
Page 1
Page 2 has two 4x6 mats for photos or journal. There are two small tags behind these. All mats have been machine stitched with decorative stitching.
This is a picture of page 2 with the tags removed ~ it shows the title a little better.
Isn't this little clay pot house the cutest thing? I love the steam pipe sticking out.
In front of the house is a little crop of love growing.
Here is a close up shot of the Papa Gnome.

SUGAR COOKIE LOVE

    Hi again. I wanted to show you these cute sugar cookies that I made.
 Don't they look yummy? I created them by rolling out regular sugar cookie dough and then pressing svg cut shapes into the dough. These hearts are from the Designs on Cloud 9 'heart doilies' pattern set.
                  Here is a closer look at them after I baked them.
I am not going to lie, I ate them as soon as they came out!!! Thanks for looking.

GOT SNOW?

         I want to share a wreath that I made for my Godparents.
This curly paper wreath was made from various snowflake papers. I then embellished it with rosettes with a different snowflake svg from Designs on Cloud 9's snowflake galorie pattern.
The 'snow' title was made from the 'first snow' pattern as well as the 'banner' pattern.
I am not a fan of snow but I love how this wreath came out. I love all the blues. It really looks great on my green door too.
Thanks so much for looking.
