LOVE and a ***giveaway***!!!

What?!? No stamps and no crinkled ribbon? I must be sick! haha. No, I was just having some fun challenging myself! 

Getting ready for Valentine's day, I think that we should definitely have a giveaway!!!! Why? Because I would like to shower love on YOU! (get it? That's why there is an umbrella on the card. But I couldn't fit the whole "showering love on you" on the outside so that will go on the inside of the card.)

Good Wednesday morning to all of you!!! This is SUPER early in the morning for most of you and by the time some of you read this, I will have a second post up today!!! 

It's about time that I made up for my lack of posting! :) 

This is my post for Shop Pumpkin Spice for this week! Check back into her store and the blog because there will be a BIG reveal for next month's kit! I am super excited about it! 

Make sure to get the Echo Park Paper: Yours Truly (linked below) before it is gone gone gone! I am having a blast with this line and you will see I have more projects made with it coming up! :) Make sure to get the solids along with your collection pack because I think they are super helpful to go with the patterns. I used the black, pink, AND red on this card! I think it really helps it come together (I ordered two of each solid just to make sure I had enough!)

Valentine's Tag

Good Wednesday Morning!

I got EVERYTHING shown here from Shop Pumpkin Spice!!! Check out the "new items" and you might see a sneak of the "A Boy's Life" by Echo Park up for pre-order and I happen to know that Crate Paper's Paper Heart will be making an appearance shortly so if you were thinking of buying it, hold off for Denine's great prices! 

I'm here for a quick tag to go on your Valentine's gifts!

My husband and I got the wonderful opportunity to go to Paris a few years ago and absolutely LOVED it so this will probably be for him. We don't do a lot on Valentine's Day. So we'll probably order a pizza and have a picnic on the floor and he might even let me pick a chick flick movie! haha. 

Last year I did a 5 course dinner for my friends with wine pairings. Hmm... maybe I should do that again!  

Anywho, here it is!

I've been seeing these stitched hearts everywhere, but I don't have a sewing machine. So I scored them all in the middle, punched holes in the top one, and strung twine through it to still give it a "stitched" feel. :)

I attached each of the centers of the hearts together using one extreme adhesive square in between each later. 

Recipe:

• Cricut Cartridges:
• Sentimentals™ (tag)
• Wild Card™ (hearts)
• Patterned Paper:
• Echo Park: Yours Truly "Hugs & Kisses"™ (polka dots)
• My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Two: Blush "Sweet" Eiffel Paper™ (script)
• Bazzill Basics Beetle Black™
• Stickers: Echo Park: Yours Truly™
• Twine: 
• The Twinery in Maraschino™
• The Twinery in Stone™
• White Gel Pen
• Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares™

I also entered this into City Crafter's Challenge Blog #91 where my SUPER sweet friend June is guest designing this week! The challenge is "Back to Black" with a silhouette. Love it! :)
