Yep, more Hello Kitty!!

Since the Stickles haven’t dried on the card I made for Dakota’s brother, Nicholas, I thought I’d post a few of the 17 Valentines that Taylan and I made for her class. That darned handwriting is SO cute, isn’t it?? She chose HK’s “clothes” from my scraps, she knew exactly who would get which Valentine, AND [...]

Hello Kitty for Keira

This is a card for a little girl, whose mom I’ve known since the third grade!! Through the ‘miracle’ that is Facebook, we’ve caught up again, and what a blessing to have her family back in my life!! Karla and I lost touch when we were both married to our less-than-favorable first husbands…funny, the tribulations [...]

Alien Valentine for My Guy

Braeden’s T.A. Valentine

Braeden’s KinderG teacher has a teacher’s aid who thinks that Braeden is the greatest thing since God made kids, so there’s no way he can show up to school this Friday without a Valentine for her! The paper is from a DCWV mat stack, I love the ribbon from Joann’s, and of course that’s TeachaBella [...]

Re-Do of Sophisticated Valentine

Boy, something about the card below just kept bugging me. More specifically, I couldn’t really handle how I colored the teacher’s blouse, and then I couldn’t handle the Primas and heart brad with nothing to “ground” them on the card, and ultimately something really bothered me about how the teacher should have been casting a [...]

Sophisticated Valentine

Here I offer a card that I made for Braeden’s KinderG teacher, Ms. Lafayette, based on a sketch at BearyBox (this sketch is wonderful, and I shall use it again and again!). I stamped Teachabella onto 120lb. GinaK Pure Luxury cardstock, then realized the joys of blending Copics on such luxurious paper, wowy!! As I searched [...]
