Cutting Cafe - All About Valentine's Day

Hello Scrapping For Tranquility Fans!  It is that time again for the 21st of the month post for The Cutting Cafe Blog Post.  It is all About Valentine's Day on the blog on the 21st so I hope you will join us  over on the blog that day and see what all the wonderful DT did that day.  Until then I want to show you what I did.


 I made the Conversations Heart Window Card.  This is a beautiful card! You can make with the many different sentiments it comes with and in any colors you choose.  I chose to use the most common Valentine colors of Black , Red and White.  

I used all AC Cardstock and then went through my scraps and picked any Black and Red I had for the heart cut outs.  After putting those all together, I used my I Rock Hot Crystal Setter and put the small clear gems and Metal Red Gems all over the card.  I finished it off with the small black gems around the sentiment which you can also use a black fine tip marker for.  I chose to use the gems for it gave it more dimension. 

I hope you enjoyed my card and Stop by the Cutting cafe blog on the 21st.

Let me know what you think by leaving me a comment.  I will answer back!

Blessings,

I made a layout with the characters from the movie Frozen.  My 2 year old granddaughter, Little Miss (Jaelyn), is a HUGE Frozen fan and that is ok,we consider her our Little Princess, hence the title.  


My characters are from the "Let IT Go " File from Cuddly Cute Designs.  I paper pieced them and inked each one individually using AC Cardstock and various different Chalk inks.

  The background paper is also AC Cardstock while the pattern paper is from DCWV Winter Stack last year.  The twine on the photos are Totally White Annies Paper Boutique/Trendy Twine.  The Snowflake buttons are from Buttons Galore And More.

Here is my project:


I made a 2 page layout of my Grandson, Lestat's 9 month photos. I  made all my Paper Piecing from Treasure Box Designs from the What a Zoo file.  All my piecing I used AC cardstock and the background paper is also AC Cardstock.



The pattern paper is Sassafras, Bungle Jungle Stack.

I then used Twine from Trendy Twine to top each picture off with a bow and added a button on each one from Dress it up.
