{Heart} Pattern

Hi there! Quick post today to share a cute little card I made using several of DeNami Design's ADORABLE heart images!!!

I created the background using DeNami Design's Heart Stamp Set and my handy dandy Stamp-A-Ma-Jig tool! The set contains four different heart designs and is PERFECT for creating backgrounds, borders, focal points, etc!!! It's one of my FAVORITES!

Lots of my blog friends have been stamping on vellum lately, so I thought I'd give it a whirl!!! I LOVE how it allows the background to show through and I think it adds a certain softness to the design.

How was your weekend? Did you do something fun and/or crafty? Are you one of the lucky ducks hanging out at CHA??? I'm determined to make it there one of these days!!!

We went skiing on Saturday! It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day and the snow was GOOOOOOD!!! Fun times!! Here's a peek:

Hey there! Winter Simms is hosting a HUGE Valentine's Day card drive for St. Jude, Texas Children's Hospital, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, and St. Louis Children's Hospital (Click HERE for all of the details)!!! This is such a wonderful event, and I always enjoy participating in it each year!!! Here's a cute little number I created using Jen Del Muro's January 2012 "Sketch For You To Try"!

Here's the sketch:

And here's my take:

Winter still needs LOTS of cards!! So, if you have some time to get inky, please consider making some sweet little Valentines for these brave little kiddos!!!! Just imagine the BIG SMILES on their faces when they receive all of this SUPER FUN snail mail!!! All cards must be received by Winter no later than January 31, 2012, so we need to act quickly!!!

Enjoy your weekend!

For You With Love

Happy Friday, blog friends! Popping in to share another card I whipped up while HAPPILY making a zillion little patterned paper hearts using the Small Heart Outline stamp from DeNami Design and the YUMMY Valentine's Day papers from the Love Me Collection by My Mind's Eye!!! I get a little carried away sometimes! HA!

For the focal point, I punched a Giga Scalloped Heart (Uchida), adhered a bunch of patterned paper hearts along the edge (popping up the polka dotty one), and stamped a sentiment in the center. Pretty cute, huh?!?!

I hope you like my creation for today!

QUICK REMINDER: DeNami Design has an "Anything Goes" Challenge going on right now! So...if you have some crafty time this weekend, break out your DeNami Design stamps!!!
