Here we are, the last day of January, and I'm reflecting on where the month went. There's been so much going on! My husband and I have been celebrating birthdays, enjoying dining out, and yesterday and today were extra special because I got to stamp and spend time with two of my team members. What fun!
Creating and sharing are just the best medicine for getting your mojo on a roll. We made some fun projects, learned some new skills, looked at some of the pre-order products from Stampin' Up! and just had so many laughs. These gals bring me pure joy when they come for a visit. I'm looking forward to sharing some of the projects I made this week.
The first project is a Valentine's Day card based on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #666 designed by Michelle and digitalized by Brandi. Here's the sketch:
Here's My Card:
I was a bit intimidated by this sketch when I first looked at it, because of the boxes. Once I got over that intimidation I was able to envision what I wanted to create. Here's what I made:
I love the paper designs in the Valentines Kisses designer paper pack, and used this sketch as an opportunity to mix several of the designs. Because I'm such a fan of the oval/rectangle died from the Unbounded Love die set, I decided to use three die cuts from this paper as the horizontal bars in the sketch. The rest was easy.
