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!
