New Challenge with Paper A La Mode

Hi there.  It's Saturday and that means another new challenge over at Paper a La Mode.  We had some great entries this past week.  It's going to be very hard to pick a winner.  

This week's challenge is "Hugs and Kisses".  With Valentine's Day right around the corner we need to make these cards so that we have them and aren't rushing around at the last minute.

This little cutie is from a card kit that I bought last year at Michael's after Valentine's Day.  I love the vintage feel with all the stitching.  I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't.  I don't even own a sewing machine...yet. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great Saturday.  I'm not going to be doing much but laying around and trying to recoup.  God bless y'all.

Mojo Monday #277

I have come to the conclusion that I just love the Mojo Monday site.  They have some very talented ladies over there who come up with these wonderful sketches.  If you haven't already checked them out, I suggest that you do.  You won't regret it!

Today's card is a very CAS card that follows Sketch 277 on the Mojo blog.  I wasn't sure what I was doing to do when I saw the sketch.  CAS isn't one of my strong suits, but I have been trying to get them right.  I think I did OK with this one.

I used a piece of paper from Studio G's Valentine's line that they had out last year.  Yep, still trying to use up all my old stuff.  I cut it down to 2"x2.5"  I made sure to get the butterfly on the piece.  The stamp set is a little Valentine's/Love stamp from Studio G that I got at AC Moore last year.  I stamped in Classic Red by TCP.  I matted the image on a piece of dark red card stock from Recollections.  The mat is 2.25"x2.75".  I adhered them to the middle of the white card base which is from SU.  For embellishments, I added two red buttons and a pink one with glue dots.  I found this flower in the bottom of my stash pile of flowers and loved the way it looked.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Stay tuned for some new challenge blogs and new cards.  Thank you and God bless you.
