You're Out of this World!

Hello! The card I have to share with you today, actually looked better in my head. My mom is an elementary science teacher, and I wanted to make her a Valentine's Day card that incorporated Outer Space.  I entered this card in the Peachy Keen Challenge.  I found the spaceship in the Silhouette Store. I used my spellbinders circle dies to make the circles in the background, and I used the My Creative Time scalloped and circle die for my sentiment.  Here's what I came up with:

Items Used:

Silhouette Online Store: Alien in Ship

Peachy Keen Stamps: Monster Mash Face Assortment

My Creative Time: Scallop & Stitched Circle Die; 

My Creative Time: All Around Valentine's Day; 

My Creative Time: Stitched Heart Layer Dies

Glossy Accents

White Gelly Roll Pen

Heart Brads

Black Memento Ink

Bears, Bears, Bears!

I was super excited when Peachy Keen announced the Teddy Bear Face Assortment. I hardly wasted any time trying to justify the purchase. I couldn't wait to get it in my hot little hands and play with it. This week's Peachy Keen Challenge was a 3D Object with bears. I got married in 2011, and ever since then, I have wanted to something with the candy jars we purchased for our reception. I decided to decorate one for Valentine's Day. Too bad it has leftover Christmas candy in it...  Here it is:

Items Used:

Cupid with Bow & Arrow - MyScrapChick Valentine Bears

Face - Peachy Keen Teddy Bear Face Assortment

White & Pink Gelly Roll Pens

Diamond Stickles for Cupid's Wing

Now, I feel inspired to start making my Valentine Day cards.  Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have an excellent week.

Well, it's 2013, and this is my first post.  I've been crazy busy, and work is keeping me away for another month.  I had to make a couple of quick cards before I leave.  I'm always excited for the Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month release, and this month didn't disappoint.  For the January Release, I created a birthday card for a good friend.  The theme of this challenge was use something new.  I used new spellbinder dies.  I have recently discovered how wonderful these are for making quick cards.  I can't wait to buy more.  Here's my submission for the January challenge:
