DCBD sketch challenge #163

So here is my entry to the sketch challenge over at the Diva Coffee Break Designs sketch challenge #163. As I said in my earlier post, Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I don't know if its because I'm a 'softie' or if its because my birthday is in the same month, but I l o v e this holiday.

All supplies used for this card are made with Stampin' Up! For my card base I used Kraft card stock. I matted a scrap piece from the Sending Love DSP onto a scrap piece of Real Red card stock. I used a stamp from the Always stamp set. The greeting is in Real Red classic ink. I used a piece of the Very Vanilla 5/8" satin ribbon and a real red button from the Playground designer button set. I thought the button was missing a little something, so I cut a sliver of Pretty in Pink card stock, ran it through the button holes and secured it to the back of the button with some glue dots. I wrapped one end of the ribbon around the card stock (where the card opens) to help give the card a 'finished' look.

Thanks for looking. Have a wonderful day! And check out what some of the other ladies have done!

Well Scripted LOVE

Let me first say, that I love my Mr. Brown. He has taken great care of me in the past. I think he did so yesterday, too. I usually receive my packages by 4p the super latest. I ordered some Stampin' Up! supplies the day we left for vacation last week. (I didn't want a package to be sitting on my front door step while we were gone.) I was expecting my delivery later afternoon yesterday. Well, it started approaching 5p, and I had no new supplies and I needed to leave the house by 6p to attend a card swap. So, without my new stuff, I had to make 6 cards with what I had on hand. Well, here it is. Not too bad. After I posted my card to the group and we swapped cards, it was announced that we were voting. Voting? OMG! Well, I won. Out of the 8 of us who attended, I won! So maybe my Mr. Brown arriving late was destiny. :)

Recipe: close to cocoa, real red, and very vanilla card stock. Real red classic ink pad. Sending Love DSP. Real red grosgrain ribbon. Well Scripted clear stamp set. The trio heart punch.

Tomorrow, I will be working on my entry for the Just Us GirlS (JUGS) challenge. So, if you get a moment, please check back another day. I will also be posting a new photo of our little girl - Sasha.
