Valentine's For Grown Ups!

What do you do when you are running out of time for ideas for the monthly stamp club?  You CASE of course (copy and steal everything or copy and share everything-depending on how you look at it).  Once again I went to the world wide web.  Here is the most sophisticated lollipop holder I have ever seen.  This is certainly not the lollipop holder you send your elementary student to school with.  Well, at least not at my house.

I thought that is a Valentine with style.  Oh no, I didn't have heart lollipops.  But wait, as usual I did have some secret chocolate hidden from the kids.  I know, you are completely in shock from that statement aren't you.  Since my club ladies are family, friends and close coworkers I was willing to share with them.  All of them are over 15 so they can appreciate Good Chocolate.

Once again, the Big Shot came in super handy.  One scallop envelope in River Rock, a small piece of Paisley Petals dsp, Cherry Cobbler punched with the Fancy Flower punch, a Bitty Button with hemp twine and retired ribbon.  Of course if I had thought of this project myself with these colors I would have ordered the Old Olive satin ribbon.  Oh well.  Besides, I had chocolate, so the ladies forgave me for not having a current ribbon color.  Thank you Ladies.

Hmmm, I hope my husband doesn't get jealous that he got a basic simple card and the ladies got a "Valentine's For Grown Ups".

Until next time,

True Blue In Love

Here is another card made with the super cute set PS I Love You.  Not the traditional pink or red colors, but my relationship with my husband isn't like anyone's I know-so it works.  Just like us. 

I'm not really sure what to say about this card.  It's pretty basic.  A card base, a little DSP, a little sponging,  two hearts stamped for two people,  a simple little verse. A simple pleasure I guess.   Hhmmmm, I think I have read that someplace before.  Oh I remember now, in the title of my blog LOL.

Until next time,

Strawberries & Chocolates

I don't know about you, but I consider chocolate its own food group.  Put it with fruit and it's twice as healthy.  Well, as soon as I saw this I knew I HAD to make one!  It only took minutes to make-even better. Anything that can be this cute and made in a matter of minutes is great if you are like me and always "winging it". (Organization is not my strong suit).

I am thrilled with the set PS I Love You from the Mini Occasions catalog. Yes, it is a Valentine's Day set, however, I think most of the verses could be used for any card for that special love of your life.  I think it is extremely important to tell people you love them.

I have seen small strawberries with other dies for the Big Shot and have thought "I need to get  that die sometime".  Once I saw this made with the Petals Cone Bigz Die, Flower Folds XL Die, and the Two Tags Die, I thought "I already have all those. Yippeee!"  I think this size is even better than little tiny strawberries that might only hold a small chocolate.  This one holds a ton of chocolates!

Here is a close up to show the texture of the Polka Dot embossing folder.

I hope my hostess liked it, even though she is on a diet (and looking great by the way).  I told her she could give the chocolates to her teenage boys.  Boys will eat anything.

Come back soon to see how many projects I made using PS I Love You.

Until next time,
