Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day Crafters & Friends!  :)  I made the following card for my dad.  Something simple but I thought worked perfectly for a man's V-Day card.  The image is from the Smiley Cards cartridge.  The only thing I changed on it was I didn't use the heart pupils.  I punched out circles for the pupils instead.  I just thought the heart pupils were more on the romantic side instead of father/daughter.  lol  :)

The heart is also on an Action Wobble which makes it interactive, perfect for a man.  ;)

My Pink Stamper Color Challenge & Submission

I thought I would try out for the My Pink Stamper team again.  I hope to make it because I loved being on the team w/ such wonderful crafters.  It was a great experience.  The card I made is a birthday card.  I used the Smiley Cards Cartridge for the first time.  I hid the smiley face on it.  I wanted it to be simple.  I used my FAVORITE birthday stamp from Robyn aka My Pink Stamper.  I use it ALL the time for almost every birthday project.  The request from Robyn was to make a card using the colors pink, green and brown.  Hope you like it:
