Happy Valentine's Day - a 3fer

Hi There! This will probably be my only post for today. It's lunch time and then this evening I am watching the SuperBowl. GEAUX SAINTS! FINISH STRONG!!!

Above you will see my card for today. This one covers 3 challenges. The first challenge is over at Stampin' Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge and it's #16! Real Red, Very Vanilla, Kraft

The second challenge is Crazy 4 Challenges to make a Valentine card.

The third challenge is from Sweet `N Sassy's The Sweet Stop challenge to make a round card.

The tiny heart border all around my card is NOT a border punch. Those are all INDIVIDUALLY punched hearts and painstaking glued on, one by one.

No horsing around... Prairie Fairy Friday Sketches#5

While browsing around the Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps site, I found this link to their blog and the Prairie Fairy Friday Sketch challenge #5. This is of course another of their adorable images. I added googly eyes and a little metalic heart to his chest. Another of my made up sentiments.
Valentine, No horsing around... I love You! Happy Valentine's Day!

Now, I've been sitting here all darn day. So now I need to get up and go fix me some brunlupper (breakfast, lunch, & supper). :O)

Monstrous love... Friday Sketches #88

Hi There! Glad you could stop by. I was visiting Friday Sketches and saw this week's challenge is being sponsored by Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps. They've got some really cute images and I bought this little monter and just wanted to play right away! I used this week's sketch challenge for my design. I used a variety of pattern papers and matted them on some red Bazzill. My monstrous lover was colored with my Copics. Sentiments are computer generated and made up by ME! Rhinestones are by Kaiser. Red and green ribbon is by May Arts. Inside of my card.

Cards for St.Jude

Well, Winter's card drive has ended and although I didn't win a PRIZE, I feel like a winner!
Winter collected some 1519 cards for the children of St. Jude's Children's Hospital!!!
What a wonderful bunch of people cardmakers are!
I'd like to add a personal Thank You to all who participated. I am blessed that both my girls and my little grandson, Zack, were born healthy and continue to be so. But for all those who aren't or who contract life threatening/altering illnesses this was a wonderful thing to do and I am so happy I participated and did my part.

You can see the prizes and the winners HERE on Winter's blog. You can see the 3 cards I created and sent to Winter, HERE.
Thanks Again!

I carry Your heart next to Mine - CCCCA14 & LLWWC23

This sweet Valentine card was pretty easy to put together. I used cardstock from DCWV Pocket Full of Posies stack. How apropos as it is a pocket/gift card holder. :O)

Inside my card... sentiment is "I carry Your heart next to Mine. Happy Valentine's Day!"

I used Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge#14 & La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge#23 to create my card. Stacey's colors this week are Bashful Blue, Orchid Opulence, Almost Amethyst, and Whisper White. La-La's challenge is to make a gift card holder. I think my little pocket supplies that "holder" space.

Thanks for looking.

You Bring Out the ANIMAL in Me! - SASPT Wiper Card

Ok, when I read about how to do this card and then watched Beate's video tutorial, I thought easy peezy, lemon squeezy. Well, I started this card at noon and I just finished it up at 2:45 p.m. Needless to say, I won't be making very many of these. :O)
But that said, I am very pleased with what I turned out. The stamps are from Clear Dollar Stamps. The sentiment, well, I made it up myself and it is computer generated. This card was created for Stamps and Smiles Project Tuesday challenge. Here's the sentiment added after I printed it out.

St. Jude's Children's Valentines

St. Jude's Children's Valentines
Here are some of the guidelines from St. Jude hospital and a few of Winter's.

* Cards need to be a Valentine theme.
* Cards can't have anything about 'Get Well Soon', 'Feel Better', or anything reminding them of being sick. (Only Valentine Cards)
* Please make cards that can be used for any gender or age.
* Cards must be able to fit into a 4 1/2 X 5 3/4 envelope. (Winter will provide clear envelopes for each card, so there is no need to send one with your card.)
* Please send all cards to Winter at:
Winter Sims
Cards for St. Jude
P.O. Box 754
Warren, TX 77664
* You can include a message in the inside, but please remember, nothing reminding them of being sick. (Maybe just a Valentine sentiment.) You can also sign your name and where you are from.
* Winter will be accepting cards for the whole month of January. At the end of the month, she will pick random winners for prizes. She will be adding more prizes, often. The more cards you send, the more times your name goes into the drawing. Let your kids get involved too! :)
* Please send a piece of paper with your name, address, email address, and the amount of cards you sent. (It will help with the drawing.)
* If anyone wants to donate a prize for the drawings, please email Winter with the details at marcussim@aol.com .

Below are the three cards I am sending to Winter for St. Jude's Kids.
