My Sweet Valentine

 Good morning and happy Saturday! 

I had some coloring fun the other evening, and saw a cute sketch yesterday. Combine the two and you get a sweet Valentine and a surprise post on a Saturday. 

Hope you like it! 

Don't these goodies look tempting? We woke up to a light snow this morning - unlike some of you who experienced the BIG storm. Still, it has me just wanting hot chocolate, you know? 

I colored the treats with Copics, adding some white gel pen highlights.  They are from Penny Black (My Sweet). The papers are from Honeybee stamps, can you tell I'm on a roll with using my DSP? 

Here's the lovely sketch by Jen M at Freshly Made Sketches. 

Sharing this also with dear Darnell over at NBUS since the stamps and paper are both brand new. Joining a new challenge too, Global Design Project has a Valentine theme. 

  I will be back tomorrow! I appreciate your visit so very much. Stay warm, and treat yourself with some kindness today.

LOVE Paper Play!

 Hello crafty ones, I hope you are finding yourself in the mood for some paper play today. I got some fun papers free with my latest purchase at Honey Bee  Stamps and really did enjoy trying out different combinations. 

I had no idea they would turn into the card for Jaydee's fabulous sketch this week at The Paper Players! 

I thought the polar bear from Laurie's card last week was adorable (you can see it HERE) so you can imagine that I was inspired to use this one featured on the designer paper. Keeping it simple and easy! 

The DP also came in handy for the sentiment on the inside. I love the paper hugs theme. 

I've been much more into ink blending techniques, but playing with papers has long been a delight since my scrapbooking days so I got quite a kick out of the diversion.

Only stamping needed is an embossed and die cut sentiment and I'm calling it done.  ( Pinkfresh Designs - Just a Hello Floral by Emily Midgett.) 

 

I appreciate your visit today, and want to encourage you to check out the work of the talented Paper Players team! Til next time...
