be my valentine



Hello ladies... I'm so excited be back in the blogging land... hip hip horary for my first card challenge of 2011.  I am still lacking a crafting space and while I have unpacked a few more goodies and opened a few new goodies, I'm still in major need of a dedicated craft space and a home for all my stash.  So I feel like I'm limping along and keep thinking of things I need that are conveniently located at the bottom of a box deep in a closet.  But, back to this card.  I was inspired by Karen's lovely card to take part in Mandy's Limelight Papercrafts Sketch challenge with ribbon.  I've got a few more Valentine's Day cards to make, so thanks for the inspiration to get moving on the cards, despite my disorganized craft supplies.

Materials: PTI Kraft card stock, patterned paper from my stash, Tim Holtz Ornamental die, PTI Fillable Frames #11 sentiment, Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 8, pink ribbon from my stash, heart stamp from my collection (sorry, I can't find the original, found stamp in my binder of scraps), Fiskars rotary cutter with deckle blade, Studio G pink ink, black ink

Oh, I spot a bit of die cut action going on in your lovely card! So happy that you've acquired one!

Super cute card Erin! Valentine cards is the way to get back in the game. It is called motivation even when you are so busy! That was one of the things I wanted to make sure I did this year, was make more cards!
