Stamp A Memory Challenge #3

Hi!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, Claire Daly set Stamp A Memory Challenge #3 as a love theme. I had been wanting to do a layout about my husband for a while, so this seemed the perfect opportunity. The prize, most appropriately, is a heart shaped punch.

Here's my layout:



This layout took a few days to put together for various reasons. I wanted it to be secret until I was finished, so I had limited time to do it. I was also waiting for my SAB order to come in, and the Crystal Effects on the chipboard word 'you' needed to dry. I just scraped into the challenge deadline by 12 hours. Phew!

I coloured the words I, love and you so that at first glance that's what the title seems to be. I wrote the ten reasons I love my husband in each of the curly label punchies. The box at the bottom right took a bit of time as each line of text is from a different stamp. Thank heavens for stamp positioners - I wouldn't have been able to do this layout without mine. The text reads: for everything you do (For Everything ss) i'm ever grateful (2 different stamps in the So Many Sayings ss).

Catch you later,

Card Patterns #49

Hi!

This time I thought I'd try Sketch #49 over at Card Patterns.

Here is the sketch:



And here is my card:



Once again I used the Petal Party Simply Scrappin Kit for most of my card. The colours are Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Pixie Pink. I love the bold colours in this kit. The three leaves in the top left are die cut stickers from the pack, as are the Pumpkin Pie polka dot stripes down the right side. The white flower is from Kaisercraft, layered onto a Stampin Up Scallop Circle punchie that I cut into to make it look more like a flower. The sentiment is from So Many Sayings (retired) stamped in Basic Black ink and punched out using the Word Window punch.

Catch you later,

Tina.
