Roses are red . . .

I confess it has been a looooong time since I last used Rose Red cardstock and ink! It seemed like a nice bold way to match up with this strip of designer series paper (DSP) from the All Abloom stack in the main catalog. I love the way the new Happy Hearts folder looks on the Rose Red cardstock. I lightly brushed my ink pad over the paper until I got the definition I wanted on the embossed hearts. The Mossy Meadow ribbon picks up color from the DSP and makes a nice balance with the "you + me" medallion.

Are you planning your Valentines Day projects??? I am! And I should have my Valentines Day Class projects ready for you to preview soon!

You know it's true, when I say, "I love you"

I wanted to use this little "I {heart} you" banner on the tag outline that comes in the set One Tag Fits All. It didn't quite reach across, but I used the Basic Black marker to extend one side, and I don't think it's too noticeable. There is a punch to match the tag shape, but it cuts off a bit of the decorative edge, so I hand cut it.  This card will go in the stack to give my honey during February. He's much more of a romantic than I am, and I try to make him feel special at Valentines Day.

It's a new year!

Happy New Year! I've enjoyed spending time with my family--all 7 kids were together!--this holiday season, and now I'm looking forward to new Stampin' Up! catalogs and promotions!

This card is from a birthday gift set I made for my sister-in-law. It was December, and I was looking for something I could put together quickly that would give a nod to her favorite colors--black and red. Cherry Cobbler accents with the yummy Back to Black DSP made it easy!

Lots of new things coming next week in the Stampin' Up! world:

*Monday, January 5 is the LAST DAY to order from the Holiday Catalog. Lots of things will not be available after that date, so make sure you're set! Don't forget to check the Year End Close-Out section before you finish your order.

*Tuesday, January 6 is the beginning of Sale-a-bration and the fabulous new Occasions Catalog! I will post links here as soon as they are available to me. Be planning for your Sale-a-Bration party!
