Hearts a Flutter #145: I want More Amore'

I decided now was a good time to use up all of last year's Valentine's Day supplies. I still am totally in {love} with More Amore'. I really REALLY wish they would have continued it. What beautiful colors! Anyway, I still had a bunch of other retired embellishments that have been begging to be used. I'm a hoarder, so I save these things because I don't want to use them up, then they become retired and I'm stuck with them and can't really use them. Oh well, ya'll should know by now that I don't follow the rules!

Sweet Treats #144: A Gift of Love

I'm not normally a Valentine's Day kinda girl. It's usually all too mushy for me. I'm such a tomboy. Ugh! Anyway, I got a wild hair and decided to make something cute and Valentinesy. Yes, I know that's not a real word. I saw a cute little gift box on Pinterest this morning and just HAD to come up with my own spin on it. Besides, I have a LOT of retired Valentine's supplies that I need to use up! I really like how this turned out. I can't wait to stuff it with goodies and send it on it's way!

Happy Graduation!

I put together a Graduation card tonight. I used the school's colors. That in itself made this a challenge for me. I tend to go after the softer hue'd, vintage colors... not the bright ones. I was STUMPED! If I have more time before this weekend, I'm going to try and re-do this one. It's just not my favorite. The pictures don't really show off the silver embossing. I'll have to work on photographing that better...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Basic Black

Stamp Sets ~ Blue Ribbon, You're Amazing, Affection Collection, misc. background letter stamp

Other Supplies ~ Silver Embossing Powder
