ink: onyx black, broken china, cherry cobbler

embellishments:  glossy accents

butterfly kisses...

another world card making day challenge. the challenge here was to create a card that is shaped.  basically, not your regular square or round card.  so i used my trusty silhouette to help cut out a ticket shaped card.  when it's flat, there's a heart in the middle.  (challenge #1 found here)

butterfly kisses
stamps:  unity
cardstock: crumb cake, cherry cobbler
ink: cherry cobbler
tools:  silhouette

stole my heart...

it's hard to believe i have some {ippity} stamps that have never been ink, but it's true.  i love the set straight from the heart  but i have never used it.  crazy.   i made this for our anniversary last week and finally used it.  it's true...my husband stole my heart.  inside says:  and i love you more today than yesterday.  aww...i'm a hopeless romantic, i know!!

who's playing along with this week's chick challenge?  if you aren't, why not?  a chance to win free stamps?  go grab some {ippity} or unity stamps, get them inky, and join the challenge!! check it out here.

happy valentine's day!!

i'm loving challenges lately. i think it helps me get the creative juices flowing when i try and make a card from a sketch, but i don't want to make it exactly like the sketch.  i made this card for the unity kit of the month sketch challenge (which looks just like the sketch!).  i used the january kotm.  such a fun kit with so many options!!  i'm dying to get that little house inky!!  this card is another valentine-lovey card.  i think i've also made more valentiney cards this year than ever in my life!

stamps: unity

i think i said this monday, but i can't believe it's friday already!   time, it's a flyin'!!!  with friday comes friends with flair.  now those who know me know that i'm not a huge fan of hearts or valentine's day.  but i do love this stamp and i think this would make a cute valentine!! this is a stamp of the week stamp.  i'm loving it.  new rubbery goodness in the mail every single week.  i'm also not a huge fan of leaving edges of ANYthing uninked.  but i thought this was cute with the clean edges and a little doodling.   go check out what the other unity peeps have done for fwf!

sometimes in this crazy world we live in, when life gets so busy and hectic you can't figure out whether you are coming and going, it's nice to just have a little plain and simple.  that's my thought for today's h{ippity} hop!  because sometimes plain and simple is just plain cute. this is a little 3x3 card.  stamp, doodle, done.  be sure to visit the rest of the hop starting here.
