A Valentine Post

I finished the Valentine's Day cards for work ~ Yippee! These are

 the cards the babies will be giving their parents at the NICU I work

 at.  I also made little candy tents to hold Hershey hugs and kisses ~ 

super simple.  I am trying to use up some of my stash of

non-PTI and non-SU papers this year.  The red paper for the 

tents is from this stash of paper.   The die I used for the cards

is "new," so I am entering these at Addicted to CAS.  I did make 

one more card using the same layout and die, but with a

minimum of patterned paper.  I am entering this one at CASology 
 for their cue word of "contrast."  One more "to do" crossed

off my list, now I can start the St. Patrick's Day cards for work ;).

This weekend my son's wrestling team had their home tournament,

so yesterday was a long day.  I volunteered before and after the times 

he wrestled. I am happy to say that he took second.  This is the 

best he has done this year.  They usually wrestle in 5 man brackets,

so fifth place is last.  He has had 2 fifths and one fourth place so 

far this year.

A Christmas Thank You

A Christmas thank you card that just happens to 

work for the CASology "Dot" challenge this week.

(I honestly did not make it for any challenge!)

There are a few dots on one of the ornaments.

I am also entering this at Simon Says Stamp!

Monday Challenge where anything goes.

I know I have been MIA lately in blogland.

Work is really busy and my son is in the middle of 

wrestling season, so not much free time for 

card making or blogging.  I am also trying to 

re-organize my stamping supplies.  I finally found

a system that I am happy with for my dies and clear 

stamps. I will post that after I am done.  I have taken

parts of systems that I have seen posted on other blog

and Pinterest.  I am hoping to get in one more post

 today with the Valentines that I am making for work. 

 

Supplies ~ 

Stamp:  Printworks Watercolor Ornaments (an older one made in 2000)

Paper:  PTI Rustic White

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love You

Oh, it seems like forever since I have made a card.  This

one was quite easy, and I made it for three challenges.

At Addicted to CAS the cue word is "die cuts,"  which

is just perfect for me, as I often make cards with no 

stamping and only die cuts.  At CASology the cue word

is "bubbly," and I chose an embossing folder with tiny bubbles.

The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is another classic,

that I definitely will use again.  We have finally moved out

of the deep freeze that affected the midwest ~ actually most
of the country ~ yippee.  We're having a heat wave today ~
in the 30's!  I think the low in our area of Wisconsin
was about 47 below with the wind chill.
