Happy Saturday! It's still cold out and a terrific day to stamp! Just wanted to share my latest project with you. I made this calendar cover to give to my next hostess. My goal is to send something that she will want to "show off" to her friends to help get them interested in coming to the party. I picked up some 2 year calendars at the old Big Lots yesterday and decided to alter them. For this one I used with TAC's Uptown Girl paper collection. I've been using that collection a lot lately, probably because it's so girly and has a definite Valentine's Day theme to it. I put a piece of Uptown Girl on the cover of the calendar and then added that black strip of cardstock with all that awesome funky ribbon attached to the back of it so it flares out the side and gives it some depth. Took another piece of the paper and cut out the "N" out of it. Then decided to glitter it up a little and so I used my embossing pen and went around the edges and used Gold embossing powder and embossed it. You can't see that part very well in the picture, but it's there. Gave it a nice "wow" look! I love how it came out. So what are you going to stamp today? Ever try altering anything? It's easy! Go grab a notebook and alter it! Have a great day!

Happy Wednesday

Let's see if we can give you some inspiration today. I got to working around in my craft "closet" the other night and came up with this adorable valentine card. I had so much fun making this. I used my Valentine stamps from The Angel Company and also used their new stitch set. I've fallen in love with that set. To think that I can make people think I have SEWN on my cards is awesome. Especially since I only ever sew when I'm forced to. :0) That ribbon is so fun and funky. I used hot pinks and brown in all different sizes and styles. Got to use my new sanding blocks and sanded that matchmakers cardstock before I put it on the card. I was inspired when I finished. I hope you are also now that you've seen this card! Happy Stamping!
