Straight to my Heart ~ Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop

Thank you so much for joining us for our January Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!  Love is in the air and our talented group of design team members have a Whole Lotta Love Goin' On as we are excited to be sharing some NEW Occasions Catalog goodies and some Valentine's Day projects with you this month!
 
As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog!  We are always excited to hear from our followers!
 
You should have just left stop number 11 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad  blog hop – Darcy of DJ's Stamping Space. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find  the full blog hop lineup below.
 
If you haven't had the chance to get your hands on any of the fun new items from the Occasions Catalog, you surly will want to after our hop!  I haven't purchased any valentine sets from the new catalog yet, but I have some of the new DSP and the fun new Scallop Tag Topper Punch, which makes for a really cute treat holder.  If I get really wild and crazy hair, I may make these for one of my boys' Valentine's treats this year....maybe ;-)
This little guy was CASE'd from the latest Stampin' Success (demonstrators receive this every other month).  You simply cut your paper to the length you desire, punch both ends using the Tag Topper, fold around your treat(s) and embellish!  Super easy and super ca-YOOOT!!!

A Little Birdie Told Me...

Happy New Year's Eve to all of my stamping friends!  Any fun and fabulous plans in store for all of you tonight?  I have big plans of hanging in my pj's with my hubby and boys, eating yummy snacks, playing games and watching movies...and ringing in the New Year with all of my east coast friends so I can be in bed an asleep by 10:00 :-)
 
Not only is today NYE, but it's also time for a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge.  This time around we have an inspiration challenge for you...
As soon as I saw these pretty little love birds, I was immediately inspired to play with the cute Valentine's Day set Love You More.  The little bird is just too ca-YOOT!
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP Stack
Ink ~ Coastal Cabana, Real Red
Stamp Set ~ Love you More
Other Supplies ~ Owl Punch (little hearts), Retro Fresh This and That Washi Tape
 
I'm lovin' these bright and cheery colors for Valentine's Day!!! 
 
Be sure to check out with the rest of the fabulous design team was inspired to create and don't forget to play along!
 
As we wrap up 2013 and look towards 2014, there are so many things I would like to do.  While I'm not big on making resolutions I do like to set goals.  While my biggest goal for 2014 is to set a new 1/2 marathon PR, I have crafting goals as well...the biggest one being making over my craft room/office.  In the past 2-1/2 years of being a SU! demo, I have accumulated quite a LOT of stuff and have filled my current crafting area to the max.  So, my "goal" is to kick my hubby out of my office and take over his office space :D  (Don't worry, we are working on his hunting room too, so he'll have his own space too!)  Another goal I have is to submit projects for the Artisan Design Team again...you'll never win if you don't keep trying, right?  Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and success in making your own resolutions or goals a success!
 
Happy New Year and Happy Stamping!!!
