Valentine Treats

I have a few Valentine treats to show you. I made these for my husband and my daughter. My daughter loves these Saranac Shirley Temples and my DH loves Orange Crush. I got the original idea from my friend Leigh and to see Leigh's work go here. Leigh is my inspiration for all things crafting and card making. When I grow up I want to be able to make cards like Leigh. To see more of her work go to http://sunflowerstudio.typepad.com/.

I stamped these images using Stampin' Up images for the letters. I also used Justrite Stampers for the #9 and the I've got a on you parts. I stamped using Chalk inks then glittered with Martha Stewart glitters. I popped everything up and I used American Crafts designer paper and K and Company papers. I used Stampin Up cardstock. I though seriously of breaking out my soldering iron but instead decided to make a frame using the glass frames from Inkssentials and them red line tape to put it together and added some bling from Michaels. I used American Crafts ribbons and ribbon from and unknown source.

Dad's Birthday

Yesterday was my Dad's 75th birthday. My dad is out of town on a trip to California. I am actually so proud of my parents. They really haven't travelled very much and almost never by plane, but this time they went on an organized trip to the West Coast to visit the sites. The trip turned out the coincide with his 75th birthday so we didn't get to organize a big party but I think that he liked going on a trip instedad of having a party. So this card's for you Dad.
