Valentine Tree

This is a pretty quick card to make!  My favorite part, of course, are the glitter hearts that are punched and put over the branches!.  I can't remember the name of the set that has this tree-but it also has a bird, snowflakes and leaves--very versatile!  I hope you are making your Valentine cards this year!

Back to stamping!

I'm back to the wonderful life of stamping!  And I want to thank all of my friends for their concern and wonderful cards after my surgery-I don't know what I would do without you!  The healing will be a long process, but at least I can see and the cancer is gone-whew!
This cute card is one we will make this Sat. with the 5th grade girls.  The back is embossed and I markered the tree to get the 2 colors.  Then I used the Blender pen to fill in the trunk.  Of course, I had to add glitter on the tree top!
Thanks for stopping by!

Already thinking of Valentine's Day!!

First-thanks for stopping by after such a long time since I've posted! The days seem to be flying by....
Did you have a good holiday? We have--my daughter, Rori, has been home since the 23rd and we've enjoyed having her around. She lives in Chicago and loves it! So the snow that we've had here is nothing to her!
Last night she took me to Par Excellance for a pedicure (one of my Xmas gifts) and it was sooooo nice to sit and be pampered! Then we walked across the parking lot in our little flip flops they give you (COLD!) to Riccos for a glass of wine and pizza and of course-the garlic bread that is to die for! She left this morning for Las Vegas to ring in the New Year! Ah, to be young again!

I've been playing with my new stuff from Stampin' Up the past few days--this is a card I made for a swap with sidelines. It uses the NEW ACRYLIC STAMPS--yes! I did say acrylic! The stamp is actually rubber and it adheres to a clear block. LOVE THEM!! Also, notice the new punch, new embossing folder, new stain ribbon and new brads! These are from the new mini and will be available to order on Jan. 5.

I made another card for a swap for our downline meeting that I will post next. Check back soon!
