VALENTINE GARLAND

Valentine Garland

made with love

 

  

  

  

I used the Sweethearts cartridge for this one.

I also used the CDS since the G gives me a headache :)

The scalloped hearts are cut at 5 inches, the pink ones are 4 inches, the white ones are done using the hide contour feature and using the same cut I used for the pink ones at 2.75 inches. The cupids are 3 inches and the pink hearts they are holding are 1 inch. I used pop dots to rise some of the hearts. 

The ribbon I used is a gross grain, but I do not remember the source.

The square stamp that is in the center was cut at 6.5 inches with a shadow.

The garland extends, NOT COUNTING the length of the ribbon, approximately 30 inches.

I hope you like it as much as I do. 

:X

NOTE: remember you can click on the pic for a bigger size and I am so sorry for some of them, Lulu was driving me nutty, I guess she felt neglected while I was busy making the garland. I will try tomorrow to add one more pic of the whole garland when light is better too ;)

EMOTICONS

=D> =D> =D>
I finally got my "emoticons" working thanks to Pam from The Bug Bytes blog
 and member of the Cricut MB and of course, my Dear Son who helped finding where to insert the code.

THIS IS HOW I LOOK TODAY

Actually it was yesterday and I was playing with the camera settings 

and I said why not take a few pics of me and show how I really look today.

This is the result, please do not run away, certain days I do look better, LMBO

ETA: I deleted two of the 4 photos I had because my DH says they were too many :(

 

WILD CARD WITH LISA/JOY

Hello again!

I have been pre-occupied with some personal matters that needed priority and that is the reason I am a bit late with everything, including posting today's card. I apologize for it.

This is the Joy Card #10 and on page 41 of the cartridge booklet.

What a beautiful card this one is,

I hope you enjoy it.

LULU - STAR OF THE SHOW LAYOUT

I have been thinking that Lulu has been with us since around my birthday last November

and I never got around on making a page for her.

Lulu is the funniest pug, she follows me everywhere and

she steals the show everytime.

Now,

It is my pleasure to present:

 "Star of the Show"

 

 

As you can see I got to use my MS Crown paper punch ( the go around the page one)

and

why not crown Lulu at the same time.

After all,  

Lulu is my Little Princess.

The stickles used for the name is the Fruit Punch one.

I chose it because it is pink but it came out a golden color :(

BTW, I am loving the fonts from Don Juan.

On another note:

Thanks to you guys I realized I won a "Sweet Treats" cart at

Melani'es Blog/ COURTNEY LANE DESIGNS.

I already emailed her with my info.

I am very happy  and I Thank You again for letting me know.

It made my day, and I tell you my days have not been too good lately. A lot going on,  not so many pleasant things right now, and just the excitement of me winning a cart made a difference.

BUT, I have to do something with that cart, please have that in mind.

Thanks for coming over!

Hugs!

WILD CARD WITH LISA/BIRTHDAY

Happy Tuesday!

I am amazed at all the New Goodies this year 2010 is bringing into the Scrapbook World.

Have you had a chance to look at some of the photos posted on blogs about the CHA in California?

Provo Craft alone is releasing around 100 new cartridges and

I believe a few (maybe 5) new Cricut machines.

 We better start saving every single penny to buy those

I know I can't wait to see all these new goodies from all these manufacturers.

As I was saying today is Tuesday

and Lisa and I will be showing the latest card

we made from the Wild Card cartridge from Provo Craft.

My Birthday Card

5-1/2 inches

Lisa's Birthday Card

I love the cake Lisa used to embellish the card.

WTG Lisa...I am truly enjoying this series with you.

AND

I hope our followers are enjoying them too.

Do not forget to tune-in on Thursday for another

Wild card With Lisa

Oh! I almost forgot, this is card # 9 and

NOTEPAD AND PEN HOLDER

Happy Friday!

This project is not my original idea but something I saw on my

"Blog Hopping" time and decided to give it a try.

You can found all the instructions and

know more about the artist

HERE

Now, Enjoy my version of it.

I think it came out pretty cool.

Notepad and pen Holder 

The paper is from Prima Marketing Inc., Presents (The First Blush Collection). The Kraft paper is from MS and the punch (Checker Board) I used is also MS. The scallop, circle and bird were punched with Fiskars punches. The cardstock I used for the bird is American Crafts. The word "Journey" was stamped using a clear stamp I believe from the G Studio series and the ink used is from Color Box (Chianti). The button and fiber are from my stash. The ink I used for the paper edges is from Quick Quotes. The pencil is actually a color pencil from Crayola :) I found in my stash and the color matched perfect with the project.

If you have any questions I can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

and... if you like, go and visit the blog I found this project.

They have beautiful-beautiful projects you might want to try.

WILD CARD WITH LISA/OVAL

Today is Thursday, January 21st, 2010

It is time to show the Oval Card, # 8 in the series, page 39 from the Wild Card Cartridge.

I know is kind of plain, not much at all but I was mojo-less that day

and I couldn't think of nothing else until...

I saw Lisa's.

I love her idea and what she did with her card.

SOOO...I WON A BLOG CANDY AND I AM VERY HAPPY

THE DETAILS

Donna was having a Blog candy and I was the winner, YAY!

Donna is a member of the BBTB2 which previously was Bitten by the Bug with Regina Easter; we all know Regina from the Cricut MB and her amazing work.

The following has been Copy and Pasted from Donna's Blog:

"...And now for the WINNER of The Cutting Cafe 2010 Calendar set and Journaling Lines Background Stamps is (chosen by random by DH who never knows why I'm always asking him to "pick a number").....

 LUCKY # 7 FLOWERDISCO!

Congrats flowerdisco! 

Please email me at ------ 

and I'll send those sets right out to you".

 *** 

 They are downloadable files, but here is the link to Donna's Calendar  where she made a project with them.

I did ask if I could share them with my followers but since these are Regina's files it was a no-no and rules are rules. This is the copy of the reply email I received from Donna:
 

"Oh Agnes, I'm sorry but since Regina has a business to sell the files they really aren't available to share.  She just occasionally allows the Design Team to offer them as blog candy as a promotion.  xxD"

 

I will try to make a Calendar with the files as soon as I can and I will post from all of you to see.

And... Please, pay a visit to Donna's Blog  and to Regina because they have gorgeous projects on their blogs.

Now, I will leave this post with the most recent photo of  

Lulu

Enjoy!
