Happy New Years...Everyone!

First of all, I want to wish allllllllllllll of you a very wonderful Happy New Years and many, many blessings to come, for you and your families! As I reflect back on 2008, I stand in awe. In awe at what the Lord has done in my life, my marriage, my home, and in the hearts of our children. It's been a great, great year for our household. And yes, even with trials but...with trials (and God's grace), comes growth, strength, & endurance. To God be the glory!

Now...I am so excited and couldn't wait to share with you but...I have been invited as January's Guest Designer for "Storage Units, Ink & More". OMGosh, I was so honored (and nervous too, hee-hee), first time EVER! Woohoooooo...

I couldn't wait to play with this new cute set..."Will You Be My Valentine", which is only one of two sets that are scheduled to be released today. Pop on over at SUInk & More and take a "Sneak Peak" at all the fabulous cards created by our awesome team of ladies.

Let's see...on this card I used a CB Embossing folder on the white strip. I then stamped the images with black Versa Craft and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Next I paper pieced the lil' girls skirt and lil' boy's shirt. I also used my Cricut machine to assist in cutting out the scalloped squares, I attached Prima Flowers and added stickles to the little hearts.Dimensionals were used behind the boy and girl and as you can see, gem stones were placed in the center of the flowers.Stamps: (SUInk&More) Will You Be My Valentine
