Falling Hearts

When I saw this heart in the product spot light I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I knew exactly what I wanted to do....

Surprised? If you know me at all you are lol!! No layers,,,very clean and simple...so NOT me, right? I just had this vision and wanted to run with it. It's a little hard to tell in the picture, but I stamped the first heart in a dark pink distress ink, the faded it out as they went down by using a lighter pink ink on parts of the stamp together with the darker pink.

I stole Wendy's Monday post....

Wendy and I usually rotate days for our posts and she actually had something set to post Monday and I canceled it so I could post something now to serve as Mondays post...shhh, don't tell her ;)

I've already entered my "drink projects" and a card for the current Anything Goes DeNami challenge, but I have one more little thing I wanted to enter....

 I used the mini solid filigree to make a border and added the stitched border to hang the heart outline and the 2 hearts from the hearts stamp set. I then added the bow from the whimsical Christmas set. I added strawberry freeze glitter to all three hearts and magenta glitter to the bows and stickles to the "hanging ribbon".

I left just a little border of the base card (black) showing between the charcoal & pink panels and pink grosgrain ribbon. Oops, I almost forgot....I added the love sentiment from heartfelt greetings set :)

Cause you gotta have Friends!

It has been a while since I pulled out the good ol daisy stamps. So when I am in a rut I will usually reach for a daisy.....and what could be happier than PINK daisies with a little bling? Makes you smile...right? Then mission accomplished!



See the little bling in the center of the daisies?

Sparkly Kitty

I have had this cute little kitty stamp for quite some time now and I just couldn't think of how I wanted to use it. But it sat there....day after day....just begging to be used. So as I sat in my woman cave trying to figure out what to do this past weekend, I decided it was time to use it. But she couldn't be just a plain little kitty....oh no....she had to SPARKLE!




See the sparkle close up?



How cute is that I ask.....

And how funny that Tina and I were on the same wavelength once again....(see yesterday's post)....too funny

Princess kitty

Since "anything goes" in the latest DeNami challenge, I decided to pull out a handful of stamps that I haven't used in ages and see what I could come up with...

If ya'll have a kitty, then you know that they can be little divas...I know one of mine sure is!! Befitting Miss Rosie's princess position, she usually lays on one of the throw pillows from the couch...and you better not touch it or you will be told about it...she's one cranky princess!! That being said, I decided this little princess needed herself a cloud pillow too. I just love this kitty stamp...she's purr-fectly adorable. Yeah, I said it...couldn't resist ;)

Bottoms up....

 Did you hear about the awesome theme for the latest DeNami challenge?? Anything Goes!!!!!! Wow, I wouldn't want to be the person responsible for choosing the winner on this one! I have a little bit of a different project that I just finished up and thought I'd enter them...

I recently joined a book club....with as much as I read I can't believe I hadn't before now! We alternate houses for the meetings and serve some snacks and wine but I don't own any glass charms...they are a must have for our gatherings as we can never keep up with our glasses. Instead of going out and buying some random charms I decided to make some...what better charms than CHICKIES!

I did a lot of jewelry making / beading before the arthritis in my fingers and the corporal tunnel got to bad and I have trouble holding onto those tiny beads...I still had plenty of supplies on hand. Each one has stickles on the chickie for a little added bling. For the beading I choose pearls, pink beads and crystals. These are as girly as it gets :) Don'tcha just love them? I can't wait for the gals to come over to show them off!

I found "make your own" travel mugs at my local craft store. As part of Wendy's Christmas goodies I made her one using her favorite DeNami stamp...any guesses? It was the daisy of course!! It turned out adorable so I decided to make another one using my favorite stamp...what do you think?

You can't see it real well from the photo, but I added stickles to the mini swirl flourishes for some bling. I just love this cup...perfect for my hot tea since I don't do coffee!

One can never have too many hearts...

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count all the hearts on this card! Whew, I must have been on heart overload when I stamped this lol....

I started out with the teeny heart background on the card and for the panel I stamped the solid heart outline twice in one shade of pink, then stamped the heart swirl & brushed heart over them in another shade of pink. I'm really liking how the hearts overlap and not line up perfectly. I added the ribbon, bow and edged strip and wellahhhhhhh....easy and cute valentines card.
