Valentine's created with my Stash

This coming Friday, I will be joining a bunch of talented designers for a "Scrapping our Stash" blog hop.  Lots of inspiration and prizes to be won!  So as I was creating my layout for the hop, I realized how much Valentine paper I have and decided to use some up and make a few cards.  So until Friday, I will be sharing some Valentine Cards with you using my Stash!

Created with Basic Grey's True Love collection from a couple years ago and a little help from my Silhouette.  Love the sentiment using the Silhouette Sketch pens. 

And the fabulous gold metallic doily is from SRM!  My favorite!

You can find them here.

So stop back all week and then make sure to join us for the

Today I am sharing a couple of projects created for 

The Scrapbooking Studio with Simple Stories Hello Baby collection!  My first layout is based on the January Sketch from Laura Whitaker at Stuck Sketches.  An awesome sketch and it features sweet baby Lu when she was just a couple days old! 

I love the Hello Baby Collection, so many awesome embellishments, as always from Simple Stories. 

And I created a card using the same sketch!

I created two fun little projects to share with you today with Lori's new EOS  Lip Balm cards.

I used the EOS Lip Balm Piggy Face card and

EOS Lip Balm Flower card.  Lori also has an owl, a heart tag, heart, cupcake, butterfly and a teddy bear.  They are so cute and perfect for Valentine's!

I used Core'dinations card stock for both of my cards and I did some faux stitching with my Silhouette Pens.  I added a bit of ink for shading and two giant googley eyes for fun to the little pig.

And stitching and shading for the flower card.  I will be making the other EOS Balm cards soon as my teen daughter has a serious addiction to EOS Balms, actually, I think she just collects them.
