Be Mine Valentine’s Card

Today’s post is a pretty quick one – quicker than I had planned actually.  Over the last two weeks we’ve had the flu running through our house and it’s been hitting one child after another.  I guess the only bright side is that it’s been hitting them one at a time rather than all together.

This past weekend my 10 year old son had it. So while my husband was gone a good part of the weekend to a hockey tournament with my oldest son, I was home with the others and trying to help him out - the poor guy just couldn’t keep anything down.   Thankfully today he seemed better, and I think that tomorrow he’ll get to go back to school.  

The card I’m sharing with you today is actually one that I created for Paper Crafter’s Library.  It uses one of my favourite color schemes - I just love the extra punch of color from the So Saffron and Tempting Turquoise on the flower. The flower is actually not a stamp – it’s a rub-on – which is why it shows so beautifully against the Crumb Cake CS background. It’s from Stampin’ Up!’s Play Date rub-on collection. 

As you can see from the symbol on the bottom right corner there is a video for this card in the Paper Crafter’s Library, as well as a video on all the tips and tricks I’ve learned about applying rub-ons.  Although they’re something that I use over an over again now, they took a bit of getting used to and learning the ins and outs of when I was first introduced to them.

Other news – our first Sunny Stampin’ Project ideas newsletter was released this weekend – my sister did a stinkin’ cute Valentine’s treat box.  If you are reading this and you haven’t signed up for our newsletter – you can do so from the sign up box in the top right corner of the blog.  We’re releasing a fantastic project twice a month with a free video and pdf. 

I had a few people email me to remind me that I haven’t announced the winners of the Bring On The Cake Class Planner – I’ll do that in my post tomorrow.  I’m just way too pooped tonight (with my son being sick over the weekend I got almost no sleep).

I also wanted to take a minute to thank you guys for the overwhelmingly positive response I’ve had about our new site Paper Crafter’s Library. There were a few negative nellies – but there always are. Overally we’ve been receiving fantastic feedback and I think the excitement of all our new members matches ours.

Anyways – have a great night and we’ll be back tomorrow with another post.
