Hi Tweetie!

 

Are you ready for another Valentine's Day card? I'm telling you, it's an addiction! :) I honestly wish I had more Valentine's designer paper but I don't so you will just have to bear with me! 
So for this card I decided to pile on the challenges! I was able to combine so many of them! First of all, the images are from Clear Dollar Stamps in the set called "Love Tweet Love". This is a really fun digital image set with 3 images and 4 sentiments! The best part, it only cost me $3! What a deal! :) Anyway, I decided to use it for the Clearly iStamp challenge called "Love is Sweet". I also pulled the colors from the inspiration challenge over on Crazy 4 Challenges and since I was using these cute birds I decided to enter it in the Our Creative Corner inspiration challenge as well! The sketch is from The Sweet Stop challenge and I also decided to enter this card into the BasicGrey challenge which was to use dots or spots. Finally, I saw that this past week's JUGS challenge was to decorate and line a matching envelope so I went ahead and did that as well! :) PHEW! Talk about a challenge! It wasn't easy trying to include every challenge but I managed to do it! 

The designer paper is from BasicGrey's Bittersweet line and the buttons are some I just happened to have in my stash! I have been in a "distressed mood" lately (hehe) so I sponged and roughed up the edges and added a little bit of sewing as my final touch!

Well, I hope you enjoy today's card! I have been working on organizing and purging my craft room this week. I have a couple of projects that I created to help my organization so I will be sharing those with you throughout the next couple of weeks! Also, stay tuned for some blog candy! Purging means sharing! :)

Can You Stand Some More???


Ok...so if you haven't noticed, I'm kind of on a Verve kick! I have been all about these fantastic stamps lately! I just think that they make the most uplifting cards and I love being able to share my beliefs with my blog readers! Anyway, this card uses two different Verve stamps: "Polka Stars" (which is currently on sale), and a Plain Jane called "1 Thessalonians 5:17-18" To make this card I used last Wednesday's SCS sketch challenge! Can you believe that I am not late with this one??? Haha! Anyway, I also went to Archiver's this weekend and picked up some of this new fabulous "Archaic" paper by BasicGrey. While I was there I also decided to try out some Tim Holtz Distress Ink on my paper edges and I absolutly love the affect that it has. For some reason, it just looks different than when I sponge my SU! inks over the edge of the card stock. Who knows why. I also used more of my Bazzill card stock that I got free from Archiver's! :D I just love that store! To finish up the card I added some SU! vintage brads to the top and bottom corner! Well, that about sums it up for this card! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I hope you all have an enjoyable evening! My Bible Study girls should be here pretty soon so I need to get ready for that!
