Valentine's Day card...finally!

Well,  it has certainly been awhile since I have posted.  Man, I have missed all of you...even know I haven't been posting myself I have been following all of you now and then.  Fortunately, my phone allows me access to do that or I would not of had time for that either.  

Thank you to all of you for the congratulations on my promotion.  Even know it has kept me incredibly busy I am loving it!!

Anyways, after next week I am hoping to be a bit more consistent with my postings so stay tuned.  I just had to be sure I got a Valentine's day card done.  For those of you who don't know that is also my wedding anniversary!!

I really liked the way this card came out.

I used an embossing folder from Sizzix.  I then brayered over it with silver ink to give it a bit of an aged/distressed look.  Then I used the "Love Struck" Cricut cartridge to cut out the heart and heart background-I cut these at 3 1/2".  I outlined the white heart in silver using my CriKits glitter set, it is somewhat hard to see.  If any of you have used these and have a suggestion on how to make then darker PLEASE let me know.  I did run it through twice but it still came out light.  The red heart corners are just a cut out from a corner punch I used.  

Let me know what you think and please let me know any of you CriKits suggestions.

A Quick Note...

First, Happy New Year to all my wonderful followers and blogging friends. I know I have not been posting much lately but my new promotion at work has kept me very busy lately. This should all calm down in the next couple of weeks and I can get back to posting. Please just stay with me through this. I have lots of new ideas in store and I can not wait. Until then let me tell you about a huge end of the year give away that my long time blogging friend Melissa has going on. I really want these goodies. For those who know me I love embossing folders and I really want to win these. Thanks to all of you for being my followers... Hugs~Sharon

A quick birthday card

I just thought I would share a quick birthday card I made recently.  As I had said in one of my earlier posts, my theme lately has been quick and simple.  I have just been so busy and on top of that lately I am putting in about 12 hours a day at work so the easier the better...but I am going to work on this.  Maybe I will need to break a card down into a 2 evening task but I am going to try to do better.

For this I used the CB "Tiny Bubbles" for the scalloped oval I used Cricut "Storybook" cartridge and for the scallop oval I used the Fiskers shape cutter.  The stamp is from Penny Black.
Let me know what you think and have a great day.
Hugs~Sharon
