Hey Love

Very nice - Hand Stamped Sentiments #306 has a gorgeous purple and green color challenge for us - my fave!
As I browsing for a likely stamp set to play with, my latest order arrived - woo hoo!  Unpacking that, my eyes kept going back to the sweet new Valentine's set I treated myself to, Hey Love.  Yes, the otter and the gorilla will be big hits, but I decided that flirting crocodile would be perfect for these colors!  I aqua-painted my way along, and added a few details - I think the new Dot to Dot embossing folder looks just like crocodile skin, and that Scallop Oval Punch piece missing on the side is meant to look like a croc bite - does it work??

You Warm My Heart

We have some lovely layered elements at this week's Match the Sketch #215!  I'll be combining it with this gorgeous inspiration pic from Just Add Ink #395 - reminds me of cherry blossoms back East!
So cherry blossom reminders means we have to pull out my beloved Sheltering Tree, of course!  I put together my little "loving tree," and then I realized for the FIRST TIME in all the time I've had this set how perfect the "you warm my heart" sentiment is for Valentines.  Sheesh.  I swear, I are a SU! demo.  Really I am, lol.  And just like that, the hearts keep creeping in!  Shhh, don't tell anyone about my girlie streak going on, lol...

My Heart to Yours

This week's stacked sketch from Match the Sketch #214 is just right to pair with Just Add Ink #394's "romance" theme!  And of course, I think TGIF #145 has our colors, too!
I started out with big plans for this card, but ended up keeping it pretty simple.  Definitely brought back my fave "hearty-heart" from PS I Love You, though!  We've had so many wonderful Valentine's sets over the years!  A little texture, a few enamel hearts, and I think we're all set!  Quick and cute!

I have two challenges this week that are focusing on a love theme, so I thought I'd do them up together!  First up is Stamp Ink Paper #135, and I'm combining with Retro Rubber #79, too!And guess what - let's toss in SU Only #193's hearts challenge, too - I bet I have hearts on a love card!
To really play up the Valentine's theme, I decided to go with last year's Sealed with Love - I even still have some of the gorgeous paper, Sending Love.  My fave feature of this set is the Love Notes Framelits that go with - so many options we could play with!  One idea I never played much with was the tiny little envelopes dies - there's a even a note insert for one of them!  So how about a card in a card?  With hearts?  And kisses?  Yeah, we can do that, lol...

I'm so excited that we are up for another fabulous day!  This week we have a lovely color challenge at Fab Friday #130, and I'll be using Try Stampin' on Tuesday #354 to get me going!
You guessed it - all this pink had me thinking of This Little Piggy - we're having pork today, lol!  I dug around and found some old DSP scraps from a previous stack, and I even had my fave sheet - polka dots with text on the back!  I had originally planned to color in my little guy here, but then I realized I could just stamp on Powder Pink and add some highlights, and then make him even cuter with a little fussy cutting!  I did decide to relocate my embellies from the sketch so the color difference would show more, but I think I can get away with that, lol.
So, I can't wait to see what you come up with - see you at the challenge!

Sunday Stamps #171 is back with a gorgeous color challenge for us!  I have this fun sketch from Global Design Project #122 to help me along as well!
So, I'm pretty sure I'm not famous for my use of pink, so this card was a real stretch for me, lol.  When I have color challenges like this, it always turns into the great DSP hunt to try and fill in my gaps!  Today, that turned out to not be such a big deal (especially since I did NOT get the perfect-for-this-challenge Sure Do Love You Suite, shh!)  Let's just say, with a  grumpy 18 year old on my hands these days, I REALLY miss grade school class treats, lol.  I had some fun today trying to stick with current papers, but reviving one of my fave hearts ever from SU! - from the PS I Love You set.  So sweet!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations over at the challenge - time to bask in pink glory!

Paper Craft Crew #276 has a fun color challenge for us this week - let's give it a whirl with Freshly Made Sketch #320!
I'm always so excited when I see those magic word "any shape," lol, but in the end, I went pretty literal with this sketch.  Oops!  I have been fascinated with all the "in-laid" elements I have seen on cards lately, and I was itching to try it myself!  So, I stuck with the hearts here, but laid in some extra colors - fun!  I included some Rose Red tiny hearts in my background, but to my eyes, it doesn't look that different from the Real Red - another oops!  Straight-up Valentine for my honey - yay!

A Great Pear

Super fun theme from Paper Players #375 this week - punny Valentine's!  I think this simple sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #352 (or 3?) can help me out!
I've been looking for a chance to use this punny phrase from the new Fruit Basket set - and I think the pears are my fave fruits in there, too!  I tried out the wire basket today - love being able to just stamp over the fruit to make it look contained.  Of course, I had to go a little punch happy and put pears everywhere, but hey, they're really good for you anyway, lol!

Light Up My Life

OK, sketch junkie that I am, I have found a new-to-me sketch challenge that posts on Saturdays (anyone else missing Retro Sketches, too??) So excited to play for the first time at Sketch Saturday #450!  Woo!  And no more Saturday gap - whew!
I decided to squeeze in one more Valentine's card - this one is for my dear friend Laura, who also turns 94 on Friday!  She's a Valentine's baby, lol.  Knowing her has been such a gift and joy to my life - I'm so grateful for her!  We can't manage grocery shopping anymore, but I still visit - and our chats are still filled with shared laughter!  She truly does "light up my life," and I'm so glad to tell her so!

One of my FAVE sketch styles is featured at Case the Sketch #207 - a scatter of shapes and sizes across an open field - fun!  I think this dapper color challenge from TGIF #93 will fit in just right, too!  And at the last second, I decided to also drop in this week's Paper Players #330 Valentines challenge, just 'cause I could, lol.
I went hunting for shapes while trying to keep the colors in mind - that was tougher than I though it would be.  Then I hit on my new man-fave (so to speak, ahem) Nailed It.  Today all the little tools are happy, because we're in LO-ove, lol.  This is definitely my card this year for hubby!  I've been smiling all morning thinking about our first dates.  Giggle.
