Hey everyone!!  It's Tuesday which means it's time for a brand new challenge over at Papertake Weekly! This week, as Valentine's Day is Saturday, Dawny is asking for hearts and flowers. So please use one or the other, or both is you are so inclined.  We are sponsored this week by the fabulous folks over at The Hobby House!!

Here's what I've got to show you today. I used the absolutely adorable Valentine couple from Art Impressions, Still Got It Set (sku# 4380).  I love this couple! I can't help but giggle when I look at them.




Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out all the gorgeous creations by the design team! And then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along for a chance to win! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon, Hugs!

Papertake Weekly Anything Goes


Hi everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful start to your week! It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and since this is the 1st Tuesday of the month, the challenge is anything goes! Dawny gave you an option of using newsprint or pages from an old book, and we are sponsored by the amazing folks over at Lili of the Valley!

I didn't use the option for this card. In fact, this card is a complete and utter CASE (copy and steal everything) from the extremely talented Sandy Allnock. You can see her original HERE. When I saw her make this card, I had to immediately jump on line and order this exclusive stamp Monster Hugs from Simon Says Stamp to make at least one for my Grandkids!!   That pile of mail is built out of three small envelope stamps. Cute, huh??!!

OH! And I made an envelope to match with my We R Memory Keepers envelope punchboard.


Here's just a little view of the inside (full view below)


And a full view of the inside...


And finally a full view of the envelope.


Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to see all the fabulous creations by my teamies, and then we'd love it if you'd play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!!
