A Trendy Tree Valentine

A CAS Valentine for two challenges at Addicted to CAS and

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  At Addicted to CAS the 

cue word is "Love."  At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the 

challenge is to use a heart.  I have at least a thousand ; ).  The pink panel

under the tree has very small hearts.  This is the second week I used the 

sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and missed the deadline.  The first week

was my fault, I didn't give myself enough time.  This week however blogger 

was not cooperating, as it would not post the picture of my card after several 

attempts.  Finally I deleted the whole post, and turned off the computer, and 

then started over completely.

 

 

Have A Heart  

just have a heart somewhere on your creation

 

Supplies ~ 

Stamp:  SU Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:  PTI White, SU Primrose Petals, Basic Grey Kneehighs Paper Pack

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.

We're heading into another severe bout of sub zero temperatures in Wisconsin.

Hope you are staying warm wherever you are and thanks 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.

Supplies ~
Paper:  PTI White & Pure Poppy
Dies:  Die-Versions "Love You" Sweet Spots
Additional Supplies:  Cuttlebug Tiny bubbles embossing folder

I've made 24 of these to use at work.  

I work in a neonatal intensive care unit, 

and the babies will be giving them to their parents.  

I used sketch # 3 from CAS(E) this Sketch.

The card qualifies for two current challenges ~ 

Simon Says Stamp for their black and white with a splash of colour

and the code word "embossing" at Addicted to CAS.

Although perhaps it is white and red with a touch of black ;).

I'm giving away blog candy here.  Please stop by.

You Bowl Me Over

Some Valentines for the "New" challenges at both
Simon Says Stamp and CASology and
the black and white with a touch of color at 

Less is More.  I made twenty four for his class at school.

The "new" are the stamps ~ two of my sets for Christmas.

It may seem like I am ahead, but my son is a wrestler.

We have tournaments every weekend now for 

the next several weekends.  He had his first wrestling tournament 

today and came in fourth. Next weekend we have tournaments

on both days.  It's a long day since he actually wrestled for

only 12 minutes total.  Three one minute rounds and then 

30 to 45 minutes in between matches. I'm sure 

there are lots of tough sports for parents to watch,

but wrestling seems especially tough.  Either your kid is

getting "beat up" or he is "beating up" someone else's kid.

If anyone any great advice, I would welcome it.

 

 

At Less is More ~ 

BLACK and WHITE 

with a touch or a splash, a hint or suggestion, a dab or a  patch of 

a colour of your choice!

Supplies ~

Stamps:  The Ally Way adoraBowl,  Gourmet Rubber Stamps Kingpin

Paper:  SU Whisper White & Real Red

Ink:  SU Real Red & Memento Tuxedo Black

Additional Supplies:  Rhinestone - LCS
