Delightful Valentine!

This fabulous sketch came from the Sketch Saturday Challenge.  The "mood" or style of the card was inspired by Sugarcreekhollow and their "go girly" challenge.  The Paper Loving Gals, also inspired me with their beautiful yellow flowers, reminding me so much of a long awaited spring... with even longer yet to wait.

Recipe:

Almost a card swap

 

                                                                                      This is the card/s that I made for my very first card  swap, which I unfortunately missed, I was so sad.  I used Aged and Confused by Basic Grey for my patterned paper, and I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folder for the bricks on the bottom.  The swap was supposed to be either a seasonal card, or a just because card, so for my sentiment I just used my "Family" stamp, because it is my favorite, and who doesn't love family :)

My little Buttercup

Amara and her best good friend Buttercup.  The paper is Basic Grey, from the periphery collection, the words come from the Old West cartridge, they are embossed with Tim Holtz distressed wood folder.

You are loved

Sometimes you just get the feeling that someone needs to be reminded how much they mean to you, I ran across just such a situation today and thought I ought to follow that little voice and just say "hey, you... yeah, you over there..YOU ARE LOVED!  And so I made this card to give to my friend, whom I do not tell often enough just how important she is.  My card was made using basic grey's hang 10 paper, and I embossed the yellow part with a tim holtz brickish pattern (I never know what my embossing patterns are called, the names seem to hide from me)  I inked, twined and added a lovely stamp I found in the bargain bin at Michaels last week. Ta-Da :)
