Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!

The days are going by fast now. I leave on Friday for the Seattle area and then fly out to CHA on Saturday! WoOhOo!!!!!!!!! So much to do and so little time....

The Monday peeps decided to embrace the LOVE today and post Valentine's Day cards. My card is almost 100% BasicGrey, outside of the PTI ribbon & paper and Martha Stewart punch.

Be sure to check out the other FABULOUS creations:

Clean & Simple Monday

The Monday peeps decided to go with SUPER EASY for this Monday. :) This card uses the new Lizzie Anne Design single: Box of Chocolates.
I made a quick set of 3x3 cards with just the A Little Love set, black ink, Marth Stewart string, a red copic & my paper piercer. I think I might be able to make 25 more of these! :)

A Lovely Sunday

:) I had some time to play around with the new Lizzie Anne Designs releases today. The following all use Vintage Valentine.

I hope that you are having a LOVELY Sunday too. :)

***a few of you asked what paper I used on yesterday's cards...sorry I have been lazy and not posting all the info...I promise to do better after I get caught & back from CHA... :) The polka dot paper was from We R Memory Keepers (Merry & Bright collection) & the fungus card used BoBunny pattern paper****

More Clean & Simple Love

My list is getting shorter but there is still SO much to do before CHA. Yikes!

So here are a few QUICK cards for today. :) Not a lot to explain with them...just a bit of paper. The first card is stamped, slightly colored and then framed with a bling sticker.

Have a LOVELY Wednesday. :)

LUV Mondays

Don't you? HA!
The Monday Peeps are posting Valentine's cards today. I went with a quick & easy one....imagine that! I stamped the background with WORN GRID and added American Crafts Thickers to a Pink Paislee Cupid Postcard. The brown strip along the bottom is a scrap that I used to make hearts for another card. Some BasicGrey buttons & I am DONE! So easy.

Be sure to check out the other Monday peeps. :)
