Top O' the morning to ya!

TGIF everyone! Unfortunately if you live in So Cal. it will not be so pleasant this weekend, depending on whether or not you like the rain or not. As for me I think I'd prefer my rain on the weekdays and the Sun on the weekends..... C'est la vie!
Anyhoo, todays creation is inspired by this months Holiday... St. Patricks Day! While browsing splitcoast I saw alot of clever ways people made clovers from heart shapes. So I went with it and used my SU! Priceless set along with some gold ink to give it a more celtic look.

To start I used a Very vanilla cardstock base. For my centerpiece I used a piece of Old olive for the beginning of the clover base and frayed the edges for texture. And then I followed up with Kraft cardstock.
So you can see that my focal point was based on the design of the ribbon. The ribbon I must add was a bargin! I found that in a dollar bin a couple of years ago and I've been kicking myself for not purchasing more. Word to the wise, if there's  ribbon or paper you really love, buy lots of it! I hope you like. Tooddles!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello everyone. So Valentine's day is 4 days away and I've been on a roll making cards for my friends. I have a full schedule this weekend keeping myself distracted from whats supposed to be a fabulous holiday. Friday night, I hope to see a certain special someone I just started dating. Because its still new, I dont want it to be an awkward moment for us on Sunday. Saturday night will be a fun date with all my girlfriends at the night club dancing the night away. Followed by brunch with my family on sunday morning.

Well enough about me, lets get on with the latest creation. I liked the last card so much I wanted to do something similar and simple.

Again, I started with a plain white base cardstock, and added the rest of the elements. I'm thoroughly enjoying the new 3 corner punch from Friskar I purchased at the local craft store, that I wanted to illustrate the other designs from it.

Also I added the silver brads to the punched corners to enhance the cuts. Then I used the SU! Priceless set, specifically the filagre piece on both side of the heart, which also came from the same set. And of course, to give it dimension, I rose all the pieces. As for the foe ribbon cut piece, I used a polka dot dsp paper and layered it with plain chocolate chip cardstock. I hope you like. Thanks again for stopping by.
