Quick Little Thank You Notes

So as you know from this post, I had a surprise shower at work, I finally finished and delivered all my Thank you cards to my friends at work, and I wanted to share them with you. I love watching process videos, especially for cards because at times I really struggle with making cards. I started out with my new Paper Smooches Stamp Lovely Thoughts which I think is one of those stamp sets that works for any occasion. I love the designer Betsey Johnson and so I channelled my inner Betsey when I worked on the following cards, some I like more than others, but all of them were made with love!

The background was created using Geo-Graphic and the large thanks sentiment came from Chit Chat.

I colored in my roses with copic markers. I have more cards coming up later in the week, so stay tuned!

Valentine Tag with a process video

I got a glorious new package from SpiegelMomScraps Etsy shop this week (use discount code Charity10 for 10% off your purchase).  I had a project in mind when I placed my order, then when the package came along with my dt goodies I had to sit down and MAKE something RIGHT THEN! And I filmed it!

So without further ado, here is my project:

I just had to use one of those Large Tags.

Get Happy Card 1

I fell in love with the Gossamer Blue Get Happy Christmas line this year! I couldn't WAIT for it to ship, I even signed up for their newsletter so I could order it asap, which I did! And I even made a video to share with everyone the pieces of the collection that I got.

This is the first card that I have made with this kit and I am SO HAPPY with the way it has turned out!!

I even videoed the creation of this card in case you'd like to see it. I did go extra heavy with the embossing powder bag, sorry about that...

A little TAG for VD!

I've decided to join another swap with my buddies from TN and our theme is Valentine's Day. Here are my tags:

I really felt like I was channeling Heidi Swapp before it was over! I used papers from the January Add-On from Scrapbook Circle and everything else was already in my stash. I LOVE using my stash! I love using all the stuff I have in projects to be enjoyed. I used a Stencil from Heidi Swapp for those mini pink hearts on the black tag, the hearts are moulding paste with glimmer mist mixed in. I used some silver paint and stamp from Technique Tuesday. All those trims were in my ribbon holder and then I misted everything with what turned out to be all the rest of my Gold Lame Color Shine... I need to get some more ASAP ;)

Making anything special for February?

Mini Swap with Deanna at LSH!

WARNING: this post is photo H-E-A-V-Y

So I was in another mini swap at LSH. Here is the mini that I sent to my partner (beware, I got a new tool and it "rocks" and so I talk about it quite a bit).

This is the mini I received:

The construction on this is amazing, I kept trying to figure out what kind of album it was...she made this out of chipboard, envelopes and masking tape...awesome!

Now for some still shots: (This is the full album, but I didn't pull out tags and stuff)

The next two are more detailed of the front cover:
