Valentine Pocket Album

It seems like everyone love "mini" items. I guess I am no exception because when I saw the die set for this mini album, I new it was a must for my collections. 


To see how I created these cute little pocket albums, click on the video below. 


There are so many uses for these little pocket albums. Of course you can store your photos. But I think they would be cute for love notes, ephemera and even a gift card.



I created two of these little pocket albums. One I decorated with stickers and the other I decorated with some cute ephemera.

But really these little albums can be used for so many occasions, you just need to switch up your paper.

Angela created some beautiful projects with this kit. Fist up is the min composition book. This is so lovely and would make a great little diary.

Masculine Occasion card


Hello everyone! I am here sharing a a new stamp set that I picked up at Pink & Main. Now I know cutesy stamps typically are not my style, but when I saw this little Lumber Jack, I  knew it was the perfect set for my sons birthday.

You can check out my process video below. 


Now you may wonder why I thought this was the perfect set. Well, he is currently in his 4th year at Northern Arizona University and their mascot is the Lumber jack. So of course the theme made sense.

After I finished created this birthday card, I was so loving this little lumber jack fellow that I decided to create a Valentine card as well. 


The background stamp is from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. It was a perfect background for my Lumber Jack.

Passport to Love - Valentine kit release

Hi everyone! With exactly a month before Valentine's Day, I decided to do a special mid month release for a brand new digital kit called Passport to Love. This kit is perfect for Valentine's Day or any occasion for Love and is now available in the shop.



Passport to Love

I created this passport card and added a metal element along with a beautiful pink bow.  This kit has some beautiful ephemera as well.



You can check out my process video below.




This paper was so beautiful, I decided to create not only a passport card, but a passport book. While this kit is a digital download, I decided to print out several pages of my kit and create an embellishment kit to create not both projects below. You can find the digital kit as well as the printed kit over in my shop.



The design team has been busy with this kit as well so let me share with you their creations.

Marcia from the Frolicking Fairy created this cute Pocket envelope and matching card set. This is a perfect set for a Valentine's Day gift. I am sure some jewelry would fit nicely in that beautiful pocket envelope.  Be sure to check out Marcia's details for this project over on her blog. 


Robin from Granninista is sharing this beautiful envelope card with us today. This is a fun unique project. Be sure to check out the details to his project over on her blog. 


Nancy created this gorgeous tag. I just love all the layers. It has such a soft romantic feel. Be sure to check out the details over on her blog The Nickel Nook



Next up we have Wendy sharing this beautiful layout. What a beautiful scrapbook page to spotlight a great picture. You can find more details over on her blog made by Wendy Bellino.



Next is Alina. Alina used my signature design and created a fun passport card. Be sure to check out her blog to see how using the same design comes up with a completely different look to her passport card. 


And finally we have Aly.  Aly created this beautiful tag. I love how she cut out the words to create her sentiment. Be sure to check out the details to her project over on her blog.

Love Potion Formula

He friends! I am here to share with you my Love Potion Valentine's Day card using the Stampers Anonymous Stamp set called Laboratorie.


Now this by no means is a new stamp set, but I love it because there are so many possibilities with it. Of course it is great for Halloween, but the Apothecary them can also translate into a "Love Potion" design as well. And we all know that Love potions are great for Valentines's Day.

For my complete process, be sure to check out my video below.


Not everyone loves the frilly Valentine Cards, so this one is perfect for those "no frill" Valentines, but still gets the message across.


I used 3 dies for this design. One of the new dies in my stash is the Lawn Fawn Lift Tab set. I added the Sizzix pocket die under the lift tab to house all my love potions that I will be creating. 



The pocket is so fun and perfect to hold all of my love potions as well as my ingredients for my spell.

Thanks for stopping by.
