A Valentine card

Hello and happy Monday to you!
It's Groundhog Day today, but we celebrated yesterday, haha. Yep, we celebrate! We've kind of always watched the Bill Murray movie every year, more like as an indoor date night. One year my daughter heard lots of people talking about the Super Bowl food they were going home to enjoy after church, ha, so we made Super Bowl food to celebrate Groundhog Day that year. And the tradition stuck! 

But most of February, especially in the crafting world, (and the mom world) means Valentines. So today I have a Valentine-y card that I made last year and never shared! Handy! ha! I am pretty sure I designed this for a class and changed my mind. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Perfect Pairs
Ink: Memento Black, Real Red

Paper: Basic White, Real Red, Basic Black card stocks

Accessories: Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots

Cookie Competition

This is a busy week, with no crafting time yet. But here's a sweet page I made in March. This cookie stamp has recently retired, but it was perfect for this page! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Perfect Pairs, Alphabet Appeal Lower (retired- 1998)

Ink: Memento Black, Blackberry Bliss

Stampin' Blends: Bronze, Dark Basic Black
Paper: Basic White and Blackberry Bliss card stocks

Accessories: Blackberry Bliss Stitched Satin Ribbon (retired)

Journaling Font: Garamond

Perfect Pairs!

I went looking for some challenges to play with this morning, and the newest from Freshly Made Sketches just struck me! I could think of a bunch of possibilities!! I really wanted to play with my newest set, Perfect Pairs, which just like yesterday, is from the Online Exclusives section. So for today, we'll just use these ideas for the sketch, ha. 

This first card also uses the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches...almost. I grabbed Peach Pie instead of Pumpkin Pie...but I did add a strip of Pumpkin Pie....
And since I'm using a brand new to me stamp set (its only a month or two old...!) it qualifies for the Just Add Ink challenge to use "something new"! And a lot of fussy cutting! 

I added color to the puzzle pieces with the same ink-on-blocks technique I used yesterday. I like today's result better, haha....

Supplies:

Stamps: Perfect Pairs
Ink: Early Espresso, Peach Pie
