♥ A Krafty Valentine ♥

Happy Friday everyone! Just stopping in with a card for this week's Make it Monday Challenge over at The Kraft Journal. It is to make a Valentine using kraft. Usually when I make a card I like to use one main manufacturer but this card is kind of a Frankenstein card! A little bit of this and a little bit of that! :)

I used papers by Teresa Collins (Floral) and Doodlebug (blue and white polka dots). The chipboard hearts are from Crate Paper's Fourteen line. The Kraft cardstock can be purchased at The Kraft Outlet. I also used the A2 Bracket Borders One Dies by Spellbinders as well as some paper flowers, White Opal Liquid Pearls, lace and burlap trim.

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

♥ Love your life ♥

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far!Just stopping in with a card I made for this week's challenge at The Kraft Journal. It is to make a Tall and Skinny card. I started with a Kraft cardstock base that is 3 1/4" x 7". I then added some papers, crystals and a flower from the Coffee Break line by Prima.

I also added some crocheted lace trim and some May Arts Natural Twine. Easy Peasy! ;)

You still have until tomorrow to join in on the fun! :)

Have a great weekend!

Hello friend.

Stopping in with a shabby chic card for ya! Here is a fun card I made with some beautiful Farmhouse papers by October Afternoon. Love these papers! That beautiful silhouette image is from The Graphics Fairy.

I also used some vintage trim, lace, buttons, mini roses, wooden spool, glitter, thread and a Jenni Bowlin stick pin. All on a kraft cardstock base.

I used the fabulous sketch over at Totally Papercrafts for this card.

And I was also inspire to make this by this week's City Crafter Challenge, Back to Black. It is to use a black silhouette image on your card.

And also this week's challenge at The Kraft Journal is to use your favorite colors. Love kraft, cream, pink and blue together!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I really appreciate all your sweet comments! Don't forgot to check back in on the 18th! It's my 40th Birthday! And I'll be celebrating it all with you with another BIG giveaway!

Bye for now friend!

♥ Love gives us a Fairytale... ♥

I love this Free printable sentiment that Papertrey Ink offered a couple of weeks back. "Once in a while in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a fairytale." So beautiful! Perfect for a wedding card, don't ya think?

I made this card for the new challenge over at The Kraft Journal. It is to use "bling" on your card along with Kraft paper. I love using Kraft paper, I don't know why I don't use it more often! Anywho, my card uses some beautiful paper from The Girls' Paperie, a Prima flower that I inked purple and added glitter to, a Prima crystal swirl, punched Martha Stewart butterflies. I first punched 2 in pink cs to use as my base, then I punched 2 in Kraft cs and added more bling to them. Finally, I finished it off with some pearls and pink satin ribbon.

I was also inspired by the following challenges:

~ Bearly Mine: Ribbon and Pearls
~ Truly Scrumptious: Swirls and Pearls
~ The Creative Cottage: Fabulous Florals
~ Ooh La La Creations: Pink, Pink and more Pink

Don't forget to enter into my giveaway HERE! Good luck!

Have a great weekend!
