My Funny Valentine

I have been saving up my V-Day projects to display on the blog. This is the first layout I have made in a while. My favorite part is the little puppy stamp- it is from Prima. I didn't even know Prima made stamps! I sprinkled a liberal dose of vintage findings, and I used a sheet of vintage-themed Valentine paper I have been hoarding for a couple of years. When I showed it to my son, he said, "eh." It's a good thing a mother's love is unconditional!

Valentine's Day - Card Creating Tuesday

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

For today's My Cricut Craft Room Design Team project,
I chose to create a Valentine card for my Dear hubby, John.
I used the Sweethearts cartridge to create this card.

If I had it to do over, I probably would not have
used the patterned paper.... and just stuck with the solids...
red, white, and black instead... since its a 'guy' card.

I'm making a lasagna for dinner tonight...
first time ever making a lasagna.
Wish me luck that it turns out well!!
I am possibly the world's WORST cook!
I hate cooking! But we eat out so much that I
wanted to do something special for Valentine's
dinner for hubby. I'm just hoping it doesn't flop!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving some Valentine's Day love! ;)

Be sure to check out the wonderful cards that my
DT Sisters created over at My Cricut Craft Room.

Puppy Love Valentine Cards

Here are some mini valentine cards that I made last week.

These printable tops are from Card Buddy's
over at Aimee Asher's website.

I added the printouts to a mauve cardstock card base...
then inked the edges with light brown ink, added brads
in each corner and finally cut out and pop dotted
the decoupage pcs. They turned out so cute!

I LOVE Card Buddy's... they are all so cute
and it's a quick and simple way to make cards!

Super Bowl Party Decorations

Here are some deocorations that I made for a friends
Super Bowl Party. My dear hubby created the svg files
of the football helmets and logos for me. The goal post
came from Life's A Party cartridge. I embossed the footballs...
they were the exact size of the embossing folder so they fit perfectly.
