Valentine's Day Card Series #5: Love You

Hi everyone!

 

It's really late at night but I have another quick card to share with you today using last month's kit from Simon Says Stamp... I can't take all of the credit for this one - it was totally CASE'd from the inspiration sheet included in the kit!

Included in the kit was this super cute 3x4 scalloped card. I had no idea how to use it but when I saw what the DT did with the card, I had to give it a try. There's also a lollipop included in every kit so I thought it was such a clever idea to incorporate that as well.

And, let's just say Miss M has a great time every month discovering there's a lollipop in every package I get from SSS! haha

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! :)

Valentine's Day Card Series #4: Hello You, Be Mine

Good Morning, everyone!

Today I have a super simple card using more of the kit from Simon Says Stamp! I'm really killing this kit, aren't I? I made this card a few weeks agao but I'm only getting a chance to blog about it now. I checked out what I have left over and it's not very much! Yay me!

Everything you see in the pic above are from the kit, including the stamps and sentiments. I'm telling you - simple is BEST! I also CASE'd the card from one of the inspiration photos included in the kit. I honestly didn't know how to use that vintage-y, people-y patterned paper. *lol*

Anyway, I'm just super happy to share more cards with you now that I've finally gotten my groove back with crafting! Hope you're enjoying this series! :)

Have a great week!

Valentine's Day Card Series #3: Love You Sew Much

Good Morning!

I'm back with my third card in my Valentine's Day Card Series!

 

This card features a lot of goodies from this month's Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card kit. It's actually CASE'd from one of the inspiration photos from the DT. :)

I really LOVE this stamp set and this sentiment is super fabulous. Love how simple it is!

Valentine's Day Card Series #2: Hello You

Good morning, everyone!

I'm back with another card to share with you. :) I recently joined Simon Says Stamp's monthly card kit and I'm really inspired by what comes in my box every month. I've only been a member since December, but I've made more cards with these kits than I have in the past year put together.

There's a fabulous idea sheet included in each box, giving ideas on how to use the kit. Here's a card I CASE'd by one of the members of the DT.

I cut the stitched 3x4 piece and the postage stamp piece out with a few dies from My Creative Time. The stamp is from the SSS kit.

Super fun and simple. Just the way I like it. :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!

 

Valentine's Day Card Series #1: I Heart You

Hi everyone!

Well, you would never believe this, but I have a ton of blog posts planned for the coming weeks - some including videos! I actually had a chance to sit and create recently, so I have a few projects to share with you, including a new Valentine's Day Card Series, starting with this post....

My card features Queen Bean from The Greeting Farm - she's so super CUTE, don't you think? AND, this color features RED and GOLD (GO NINERS!!!). I'm in love with it. :)

The sentiment is from AmyR's Heart-y Sayings stamp set - One of my most favorite sentiment sets ever. I don't know why I don't use it more often. *lol*

Linking up to:

The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday - Love is in the Air!
Frosted Designs - Project with Polka Dots

Stay tuned for more projects in the coming days. I can't wait to share more with you!

Birthday Fishes (#card #papersmooches)

I'm not keeping my end of the bargain with BLOGGING MORE in 2014! Ack! I really want to, but there's just not enough time in the week to get my butt on a computer.

*sigh*

I did want to post this card I made a few months ago using Paper Smooches' stamp set (forgive me, I forgot the name). I saw this card on YT by Darlene Devries and I just had to try it out!

I think I also made this card during my "I'm in LOVE with Paper Smooches" phase. haha

Hoping to create more cards and blog in the coming days! Wish me luck! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

more layouts!

Well, I guess my grand ole plan of blogging everyday Monday through Friday didn't go as planned! And I'm only on the second week of the year! This does NOT look good for the rest of my 2014 resolutions and goals, does it?

*sigh*

But at least I'm here today with a couple of scrapbook layouts I had been meaning to post but forgot to...

Two layouts of baby L... I can't believe how "tiny" he was back then. If you may remember, he was 11lbs at birth. He's not big anymore in comparison to his age (sad face), but he's still the baby of the family. :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Jo:)

Birthday Card featuring Taiko Drum Luka #lalalandcrafts

Hi everyone!!!

So... I'm trying something new - where I have a post a day Monday-Friday... And occasionally on the weekends. I haven't thought of a blog schedule, per se... But I just thought it would be nice to get my blog nice and rolling again with posts. Even if no one is around to read them. :P

Here's a quick card I whipped up for a friend of ours using Taiko Drum Luka from LaLa Land Crafts! I hadn't used this stamp on a card yet (yay for a 2014 goal!) and I thought it was time. Kept it super simple because the it was for one of our guy friends, but he did appreciate it. :)

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

 

Cuttin' and Stampin' DT Call 2014!

Hi everyone!

Whoa... TWO posts already for 2014?! This is madness, people! haha

I thought I'd pop in really quickly - Cuttin' and Stampin' is having a DT call and I thought it would be nice to throw my hat in the ring. It'll inspire me to not only create, but to also use stuff I already have. And I figure, why not?! :)

Here are some of my FAVORITE projects:

"You're a Sun-Sational Friend" card. Featuring Cheeky Beachy from the Greeting Farm.

"You Rock" card featuring Dancin' Kaylee from Some Odd Girl.

"Smooches!" featuring Blowing Hearts Birgitta by CC Designs

So there you have it... My top faves of 2013! It actually felt really good to look back and see some of the work I've done last year - it's a good motivator to do MORE! And it makes me want to take pics with my DSLR for my projects - nothing beats the quality, not even the iPhone. It's just that the iPhone is SOOOO convenient! *lol*

Anyway, it's the beginning of the new year, and part of the DT application is a short little bio so here it is:

My name is JoAnn, a lot of my friends and crafty pals call me "Jo." I'm a wife, a mom to 3 (an almost-7 year old, an almost-5 year old, and a 1 year old), a night shift nurse, and a lover of all things papercrafty! One of my 2014 goals is to blog more and create more so here I am! *lol* I'm also a You-Tuber with about 1,100 subscribers - which is such a surprise and a humongous HONOR because I really don't feel that relevant in the world. If you can't find me here on my blog, you can find me at You Tube where I do a lot of haul videos, chat, and project sharing! Yay for a happy, crafty 2014!

Thanks for stopping by, everyone! Have a fabulous rest of the week! :)
