Here is another wonderful card I'm so excited to share with you made by Ellie of Ellie's Stamp Garden! I just love the color combos here (teal and brown are so fun together!) and she used some of the sheer teal w/ brown dots ribbon from my shop! Be sure to visit her blog as she has posted some great step-by-step instructions for this card (plus lots of other goodies!) like how to do the no-tie bowtie and the stamped dots on the card-- she is so talented and clever!

Are you inspired? I am!

I want to share another great card made by Jill of jillybeangreetings using some pink stitched ribbon from my shop! She is so talented and I absolutely love the color combos on this thanks card and all of her creations! Please visit her shop, it's so delightful and I hope you'll get a little inspiration from her wonderfully made card! I know the wheels are turning in my head for a lime green/pink scrapbook page!

PS-- I wish I could 1. sew and 2. tie a bow that nice or even 1/2 that nice!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you have a fun valentine's day! My daughter has her valentine party tomorrow so we made some cute kiddy cards to pass around. I've had these animal papers forever and slowly but surely used them up (as birthday invites, thank you cards...etc) and we're kinda sick of them now so I'm happy to have finally used the last of them!

***we had fun coming up with cute valentine sentiments to go along w/ each animal theme & my daughter got some good name-writing practice in since we made 20 of them! She was a little tired of writing her name by the end of it and said she was glad her name only had 4 letters and not more! (:

Love Letters: Random Cards of Kindness

Shae (my daughter)'s wonderful storyhour group @ our library made cute monkey cards for this great cause: LOVE LETTERS. We made a few at home (I must preface this picture by saying I do not make cards, but I do make an exception for good causes) and here they are.



Please take a minute to visit LOVE LETTERS and make a few cards yourself, they distribute them to children with life-threatening illnesses, and they are a non-profit organization. Read more here. btw...my owl says "whoooo's the best? You Are!" inside. And...umm...that's a calculator that says "You're #1!" in case you can't tell...remember I said I don't do cards!
(:--Janelle

note: please be sure to read through the guidelines @ Love Letters and then send your cards to: Kaitlyn Chana/Love Letters, 865 N State Road 434, Altamonte Springs, FL, 32714

Odd & Ends
Here are some little cards and gift-tags I made using some left-over rub-on sentiments and papers. Shae and I had made some cards for the Scrapping for Soldiers project (click link below to learn more) and I had a few left-overs...now, I'm not a card-maker at all (I made an exception for the Scrapp'n for Soldiers) so I was proud of myself to get a few mini-cards or gift-cards done for myself. Well, back to the books (scrapbooks!) for now.
Click here for more info on Scrapping for Soldiers and their Greeting Card project. Shae & I enjoyed spending a little time together and making a few cards for the soldiers!
