Scrapbook and Cards Today Valentine's Feature

This card is for the Fantabulous Cricut to include the word "love" somewhere on your card and is being featured today on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog. I created the card with October Afternoon Thrift Shop papers I cut the large heart from George and the smaller heart is a Basic Grey stamp.

Happy Spring Card

I'm loving this October Afternoon Thrift Shop pad I just got. It has great colors for spring and I'm trying to think ahead and get some Valentine/Easter cards done. I made this card with the CPS sketch. CPS is being sponsored by Flowersoft this week and I just got my first jar in a grab bag this weekend. I really need to make a point to try it out, I've seen such pretty cards made with it. Also since I made it a goal to participate in more Cricut challenges, I made this card for two Cricut challenges. Bitten by the Bug 2 asked for hummingbirds but other birds were ok if you didn't have hummingbirds. I'm still only working with two cartridges (though lucky me more are waiting at my Grams house) so I didn't have a hummingbird. I used this cute little chick from Stretch Your Imagination. The Jitterbuggin' challenge was to use birds as well so it worked out quite easily.

Tuesday Trigger Bright Spot

Loved the Tuesday Trigger this week and knew instantly what I wanted to create. I wanted to create a banner card with circles like in the photo, but add a valentine twist so I replaced a circle with a heart. Then I added some stitching and a simple stamp. The papers used are from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop. I was so lucky to receive the 8x8 paper pack from the Secret Santa exchange this weekend and I also got the We R Memory Keepers Crop A Dile Corner Chompers. I have already broken two of the cheap corner rounders and avoid using them because I didn't want to invest in another. However if the Corner Chomper is anything like the original Crop A Dile it will be heavy duty enough for me. I encourage you to check out the Trigger and play along.
