thinkin' valentine's day?

My first valentine's day card of the year; this one's for my DH and fav enabler, PB! Another of Karen Stolper's little ladies, this one's called Paper Hearts. I LOVE her stuff, and was blessed w a bunch of her stamps for Christmas (tho' I have another 60 on my wish list)! I also love Stella Ruby DP and matched the stripe in her capris with the striped background paper. This card design is based on the SC157 sketch challenge on SplitcoastStampers.

stamps: Karen Stolper's Paper Hearts; paper: Basic Grey's Stella Ruby DP, SU's Pomegrante cardstock, Bazzill's cardstock to match Stella Ruby (dunno color name tho'); ink: StazOn's Jet Black, asst'd watercolor markers; tools: QuicKutz love die cut; Cuttlebug w Hearts embossing folder

happy b'day, Mom!

My Mom's birthday is today and my sibs and I'd planned to get together to treat her to dinner but I'm still home w the flu ... so I made her a card instead, based on this CPS#45 challenge! I know ... I'd made her a card already - the b&w from a few postings back ... but that was for all of us to sign for a group gift we gave her on Sunday at a family celebration at my sister's house.

Anywho, I love Karen Stolper's little ladies. You can find at least a hundred others at American Art Stamp (see link at right) but be forewarned - bring tissues with you as you WILL be drooling!
