This was a quick and easy valentine to make and that's exactly what I like! The red cardstock was embossed for added dimension. The red hearts were just stamped with MSE stamp. The white border at the bottom is a Bazzill trim that has been embellished with red rhinestones and ribbon. How simple is that!
Hope your day is going well! I spent my day working on insurance claims for my hubby's recent hospital visit. What a mess! I am constantly amazed at how many errors I find. There is no end to it. And I think most of them are intentional - to see if they can try to get more money from us. I will fight every last one of those darn claims and they aren't getting an extra penny from me either!
Here is the first of my valentines and I hope I get quite a few more done before long! Time is flying by me way too fast!!! My crafting time is limited so we'll see what happens! This is an old stamp by Penny Black that I use quite often for many occasions. The papers are by Pebbles - that's a new one for me but I just recently found it at my LSS and love it! The sentiment is by Inkadinkado - another old stamp! Hope you have a fun day!!!
It's so great to be back in my craft room! We spent the past few weeks in Colorado house hunting and also helping my daughter out with her hip surgery. No, we have not found our dream house yet but saw lots of beautiful homes and lots of snow! We have a realtor working for us so hopefully between her and my hours spent on the computer...we will come up with something. My daughter is doing very well. She came out of the surgery with no pain in her hips where she had it for the past 4 months - but new pain from the incisions. But, she had no pain meds after her first day and says the pain is gone! Her doctor and the hospital were outstanding. So...I'm back again but my time will be limited with all the work we have to do to clean out the house and get ready for a move. What a job! Today I made 4 cards. Unbelievable! I will post one today and share the others another time.
I was going through my craft cabinets and I found this chipboard house to decorate. I was so excited because it would be so perfect to give to our realtor full of candy. So, I got busy and covered it in papers to match the cards I made her. I absolutely love this pad of paper by Kaisercraft! It has some punch outs in the back too! Anyways, I added a little Tim Holtz door knob to it and put one of his "LIFE" keys on the top of the roof. I had so much fun decorating this! And I filled it up with Reese's miniature peanut butter cups.
Here are a few more cards I made to take to my realtor in Colorado. I thought she might be able to use these for her clients. I made the keys on my Silhouette and then distressed them a bit. The base of the card was embossed. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. Pretty simple!
Happy New Year! I hope this will be a much better year for my family than 2010! It was one year I don't care to repeat! Bill is FINALLY healed from his broken back but is still supposed to take it easy for awhile. He won't go back to work for another month as he goes through physcial therapy and gets his strength back.
