Valentines Postcard Pals

Hey Friends!  It's another Stamp Off Friday with

Susan, Buffy and myself.   This week, were are 

doing a Valentines challenge, as that special

day is coming on fast!

Of course I had to go back to Postcard Pals (page 49) for this

challenge.  I'm not really a focal "heart girl", so this set 

really appeals to me.  The Gingham Gala DSP 
(Occasions page 35) made the perfect backdrop for this
Valentines image.  I also added an Organdy Ribbon Combo
pack bow (SAB page 7) to coordinate with the Gingham DSP.

As usual, I used Stampin' Blends alcohol markers
to color these images.  I love those markers!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Now please check

out the Valentines projects offered by Buffy and Susan!

Dear Doily with Butterfly Gala

I mentioned that my mother's 90th birthday was

last Friday.  This is very similar to a card that I posted here,

except that I was able to add more bling since the card

was going into a box, rather than being mailed.

I combined Dear Doily with Butterfly Gala (Occasions p 35)

because what little Mama doesn't deserve 

flowers, doilies and butterflies for her birthday!

Let it Ride on Nature's Poem

I recently purchased Let it Ride (Occasions page 45) because

I have a number of family horse lovers and the

coordinating sentiments are really wonderful.  
I layered the watercolored horse over

a piece of Nature's Poem DSP (page 189), which

features Tranquil Tide.   The Rectangle

Stitched Framelits Dies (Occasions page 28) are the

perfect cutting tool to emphasize the focal image

and sentiment.
