A Valentine's Card

I got this new paper from my LSS the other day and couldn't wait to make it into a card. It is from one of my favorite companies, Daisy Bucket Designs. I am having fun making Valentine's Cards right now, so I will probably be posting several of those in the next few days. This card is a design that I created a while back, but I really like it... It is so versatile, you will probably see it again!

My Word for 2008

Does anyone else read Ali Edward's blog? She really inspires me. She has this challenge to choose a word for this year and live by it. Something you want to aspire to maybe... Well, I chose THRIVE, which according to Webster's Dictionary means:{to grow vigorously : flourish : prosper : to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances}.

This means a lot to me in so many ways. So, to remind me of my resolution to THRIVE, I made this:



My best friend gave me this picture frame over the weekend to do something with, and I thought it would be perfect for this. I wanted to keep this project simple, yet kind of elegant to match the frame.

DP: Basic Grey: Stella Ruby: Tea with Jane.
Chipboard Letters: Rusty Pickle
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink: Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain

It has been awhile since I made a Bella card. This one is my entry for my Bellaholics Anonymous Yahoo Group's monthly contest. The challenge this month was to use red, grey, and white. The DP is by Around the Block, the ribbon is some I found in my stash, the bling is some I got in the $1 dollar bin at Michael's, and the sentiment is from the Holiday Treats stamp set by Papertrey Ink. The main image is Clickabella by Stamping Bella.
