An anniversary card for the Hubby

Just a quick post here.  I have an Anniversary coming up and this week's Viva la Verve sketch was a perfect starting point!  The sentiment is from Stronger Love by Verve, and the dies are Arrow, Jotted Heart and From the Heart are all from Verve!

 

Viva la Verve baby!

Let's be honest, I could care less about ruling the world, just fork-over the caffeine!!!  This card is for this months Viva la Verve week #3 sketch.  A couple of months ago I won a Mojo challenge and this is the set I bought with my gift cert... LOVE!!

Just Us Girls #175: Get masking!

Hey yall!  Today is Saturday and I have a two fabulous challenges for ya.  First up is my Just Us Girls Challenge, MASKING!  The sketch for my card is also this week's Viva la Verve.

I stamped my sentiment, from All About You, and then stamped the heart from Heart to Heart over it with  Beach Glass ink (Vivid).  I have to admit, I don't often mask... I've forgotten how fun it is and how great it looks :)  Be sure to visit my fellow JUGHeads to check out more Masking goodness!  I'll be back shortly with my Kraftin Kimmie challenge card :)

Ribbon Carousel Challenge & Viva la Verve!

Hey yall!  This month's challenge on Ribbon Carousel is LOVE IS IN THE AIR!  The sketch for my card is this week's Viva la Verve, an awesome sketch by Miss Amber (LOVE her!).  I broke out some of my Valentine-y Verve sets and got busy!  See those arrows?  Well if you remember when the Ribbon Carousel Crew hopped with the Verve Diva's you'll remember that Julee sent us that die to play with (along with some other goodies)... OMG!!!!  I LOVE that die!!!  I am telling you, I have to work hard at NOT using it on EVERYthing!  The funny thing is, is that if I were shopping I'd have thought "nah, I'll probably never use it" lol!  Well that's all I have for ya for now, I'll be back tomorrow with my Just Inklined card!

Sending warm wishes...

 Happy Sunday!  Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  This is going to be a quick post because I am WAY behind in my projects ;).  This sketch is the Viva la Verve VLVDec01 sketch on SCS, and the image is Piper, by Kraftin' Kimmie.  I absolutely LOVE the Prism papers, but I have a hard time photgraphing them so that the texture shows up (clearly time for another photography lesson!).  The cream block is the Prism Metallic Champagne (need a lesson on making that show better too, lol).
