So, the other day I mentioned how many Valentine's Day cards I needed. I mentioned my husband, my kids, the kids teachers, etc... Well, guess what?! Ryan's teacher sends home a note saying that the theme for February for his Pre-K class is "Love" and to bring in a card EACH WEEK for our child and they will read them on fridays. Now, this is not so bad if you are a "normal" person..."normal" people can just go buy 4 cards!! But for a handmade card maker, this means I have to hand make 4 cards for my son!! Because it would be a sin to actually buy him 4 cards!! LOL
Therefore, I am so glad that so many challenge blogs are having a "Love" theme this week!!
First challenge is actually being sponsored by my store: Delightful Sketches - Love
Penny Black challenge - Someone Special
Cute Card Thursday - Spots and Dots
And throw in a sketch challenge - this is SC266
So this is card #1 for my son...
This cute dog and bee are 2 separate stamps, but I thought they would look great together. They are from the Penny Black Every Which Way set. What a cute set for Valentine's Day...and it happens to be on sale right now!!
I used some Basic Grey Origins 12x12 paper (also on sale) and a Basic Grey button.
The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
The sentiment is also from the stamp set.
I carried the papers to the inside...
This inside sentiment is from the set as well.
I think Ryan will like this. The sketch was really great for the simple layout needed for a boy'ish card.
As I mentioned, my store Stamp and Create is sponsoring the Delightful Sketches challenge this week. If you would like the chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create, come play along!!
Make sure to come back tomorrow for the Scrap and Stamp Blog Hop and the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge!
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
