Pin It Now! With the holidays over & all the decorations taken down & put away I have found myself in a sort of shut-down mode; not much creating happening around here lately. I did however manage to come up with some projects for my Stamp Camp I had this past Sunday that I'd like to share with you; we created Valentine's Day projects. The first card I'm sharing uses a brand new set from the new Occasions Mini, "P.S. I Love You"; we actually used it on 2 out of 3 projects. A very versatile set you can use all year round; I know I'll definitely be using it a lot.

I kept the card base white & layered on a strip of Real Red designer paper from the Brights Designer Series pack & tied on a piece of black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I layered some white card stock over a larger layer of Real Red. Next I colored the strawberry from the "P.S. I Love You" set using some markers: Garden Green, Real Red, & Chocolate Chip & stamped it onto some white card stock. (I did this 3 times). I then used the 1 1/4" square punch & punched them out. They were each layered on a black square that had been punched out using the 1 3/8" square punch. Before I popped each square up using dimensionals I stamped the sentiment in black ink. I used Crystal Effects on the bottom portion of each strawberry to make them look edible ;) All the girls loved this card! So simple :)

I hope you've all had an amazing start to the new year & are able to find some time to create :) If you'd like one of the new Occasion Mini catalogs please email me & I will gladly mail you one.

Thanks for not giving up on me & have a fabulous day! :)
