A Valentine for my Valentine! ♥

2nd post today.. Check out my TGF FFF: Recycled post!

I'm totally head over heels in ♥ with all the Lawn Fawn critters out there.. and these little elephants from the Love You Tons set are no exception! Think I'll save this one for my hubby next week :)



My sentiment is from the Big, Bold and the Happy from Winnie & Walter, love how you can piece together different words to make your own.

I'm joining the Dots & Hearts challenge @Lawnscaping

& the Have a Heart challenge @Simon Says Stamp!

(Hope my little itty bitty heart is enough to count!)

Happy Weekend!

Farm Fresh Friday: Recycled!

Hooray! It's FRIDAY!  and you know what that means.. it's another Farm Fresh Friday at The Greeting Farm!  This week Kristina is our hostess and she chose the theme of RECYCLED!

I inked up Anya from the I Heart Sweaters set... unfortunately she hasn't seen as much ink as she deserves... that's all going to change now! :) For my recycled items, I used a piece of cork from a DIY project I had done a little while ago, I embossed some acetate from stamp packaging, and finally finished it off with a string of baker's twine from a gift!



And what's one of my cards without some buttons, faux stitching and sequins?

Thanks for stopping by- hope to see YOU do some recycling and play along with us this week!

Hello Friend

2nd post of the day (please see my 1st post for Chi Chi Memories here)

I'm back again to share this darling new image from Tiddly Inks- she's SOOO cute & sweet!

This is Ellie! I couldn't wait to color her... I had to give her some 'shiny' black hair and I've been working on practicing coloring pleats- pretty please with how this one came out :)



I just added a strip of washi tape and that sentiment is from a brand new company - Winnie & Walter I absolutely fell in love with the set, I'm a sucker for handwriting fonts, and I love how this one (The Big, the Bold & the Happy) mixes the different font size and style :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Secret Admirer

Happy Hump Day!

It's Wednesday so that means I'm popping in to share my latest Chi Chi Memories creation!  AND it's the beginning of the month which means there is a NEW set of images available! and these images are just getting cuter by the month!

This month there are 4 separate images: Mage, Secret Admirer, Sending you my Love, & Enjoy Your Time

I chose to use Secret Admirer first, I just love that sweet look on her face! This is a great image for those "Thinking of You" cards... and that's exactly what I did! :)



I'm a sucker for a cute girl image and lots of hair! :) Don't forget to play along with the CCM Challenge too!

Birthday Ian

I'm blogging over at The Greeting Farm today to share with you this card I put together for my nephew who will be turning 10 in a few weeks!

I used Birthday Ian, wiped away the ink from the "YOU" on the banner and swapped them out for 'ten'!



Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Blackboard

2nd post today... (although technically my first one was just really late last night!)

I am totally falling for the blackboard/chalkboard trend that is going around right now.. and couldn't wait to get my hands on this Birthday Blackboard stamp from Hero Arts! & I finally got the chance to play with it today... (never mind that "big" game that's today-- what's it called the Super Bowl or something? LOL )

Excited to play along with the birthday challenge over at Hero Arts too!  This is for the "Anything Goes" category.



I do believe this is a first card in a long time that contains NO coloring, I gave my copics the day off :) I also remembered that I had a jar of embossing paste laying around and had just picked up this chevron stencil and wanted to give it a try!

Enjoy the rest of your weekends! Until next time... Happy Stamping :)

Lucky Red Envelopes

Ok.. one last Chinese New Year post before the weekend is over!

Today we had another delicious Chinese New Year feast at my parents'


My mom is amazing... everything was sooo good!

The past couple of years I have been making my own red "lai si" envelopes to give my nieces. I love finding super cute images to put on them- and this year was no exception. I just *HAD* to use these adorable Sister Stamps Yoshimi on them!



ok.. and one last pic of my sweet boy celebrating his Chinese outfit :) ♥

Happy New Year! Gung Hay Fat Choy!
