#tgifc198 Sketch Challenge ~ Love You To Pieces

Happy Friday stampers!  It has been a cold, snowy week here and it sounds like we have more snow coming...yuck!  That silly groundhog is causing trust issues with me! :-D 

We are under a week away from Valentine's Day and this week's TGIF Challenges sketch is perfect for creating a card for your Valentine.

I love this pattern from All My Love DSP!  I thought it would be fun to pair it up with Love You To Pieces stamp set and coordinating thinlits.  

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Flirt Flamingo, Whisper White, Powder Pink, All My Love DSP
Ink ~ Flirt Flamingo, Powder Pink

Stamp Set ~ Love You To Pieces

Other Supplies ~ Puzzle Pieces Thinlits, Starburst Punch, Silver Mini Sequin Trim, White Bakers Twine, Metallic Sequins

See the cute little puzzle piece banners beneath the puzzle pieces?  Aren't they fun?!? 

I'm crossing my fingers that my youngest remembers to bring his Valentine list home from school today so we can finish his Valentine's! Between missing two days of school this week and having too much fun in the snow, his mind is far away from remembering to check his mail box!  It's a good thing he's cute! :)

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead of you!  

Happy Stamping!

All The Pieces

Happy Wednesday stampers!  We've reached the halfway point of the week and are on the downhill slide to the weekend!  My family is headed to the Oregon Coast tonight after my boys football game and won't be back until Sunday afternoon.  I am hoping this means lots of stamping time for me over the next few days.  I have a big list of things that I am hoping to get done...fingers crossed it all happens!

I did have a bit of time yesterday to finish up a fun card with the Love You to Pieces stamp set.  This set caught my eye right away when I saw it in the Annual Catalog and it was a MUST have!  I was searching through my Stampin' Success catalogs, available to SU Demonstrators,  for some inspiration and found it on page 4 of the Quarter 3 issue!  I loved the layout of the two cards on the right hand side of the page and thought it would be perfect for this set.  I love the velum over the stamped puzzle pieces!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Whisper White

Ink ~ Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody

Stamp Set ~ Love You To Pieces

Other Supplies ~ Puzzle Pieces Thinlits, Silver Metallic Thread, Rhinestones, Pretty Park Framelits

As I was getting ready to post this card, I remembered I never shared some cute little decorations I made for all of the girls at work.  I work in the Special Education department for our school district and kids with special needs are very near and dear to my heart.  These seemed like the perfect little decorations for a desk and a great reminder of why we do what we do!  One piece at a time...

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry

I love this fun bundle so much!  It will be one that I hang on to forever...and it will be well used and loved!

Thanks for dropping by today!  I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Stamping!
