Happy Anniversary / Hapy Valentines Day

Hi Everyone!!!
YEA!!!! Got my PC fixed.....
I needed to update my browser to Google Chrome and had some other things tidied up too... I have the BEST PC guy.   VERY TRUST worthy....
So this is the post I've been wanting to do:

It's been WAY to long since I've posed anything... so today I though I better get back on the stick.
I saw a really cute Valentines Day card for a man a few days ago (now weeks) and wanted to try one with the things I already had.  Here's the card I saw...... isn't it just too cute??
Since I haven't made many shaker cards this was even more FUN to try....
Here we go.......

This is the front view of my try at of Amy Sheffer card.... This is my first shaker card in ages and rather pleased with it's out come. 

Here's a close up of the pole and line I used. The pole was longer so I just cut one section off and added the line and the little fishy too... it has some bling on it but you really can't see it too good.

This is the inside, I cut another heart and added my saying which I love.... Can't see it very will here so this is what it says;

It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but  it's the little differences that make them interesting. 

Will what do you think?????
This is going to be my Anniversary card for my honey, we got married on a FRIDAY, Feb. 13. So we've always celebrated Valentines Day on the 13th a day early.....

I LOVE to read ALL Comments, so please leave one!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!

Hi Everyone...

Will I finally ordered from Mo's Digital Pencils, I have received a Gift Certificate from Dawn from My Stamping Thyme, she had was asking for blog ideas and she picked 2 of us that left comments... I was just thrilled becasue I stop by her blog for a visit with every new post and several times for just fresh ideas... she is VERY talented.....

Anyway she is always using images from Mo's Digital Pencile, and I had never used any digital images so this was the perfect time to try some out... Today I am post a few I got and used on this cut "V" day card!!

Tell me what you think...???

This image is called Kisses, she is just so full of it, isn't she??

and this gal on the inside is called Little Smooch, she to is full of it too!!

It's kind of a Before and After card....te! he!!

Happy Valentine #1

Happy Sunday!!!

Here's that card I was talkin about yesterday!! Yea!! My FIRST card for the New Year... Oh it feels so good to be at my craft table again.  And I went wild with all the goodies I put on this card.  I just wanted to use everything at once..and I may have....

This is a close up of the front. I just love all the parts and pieces on it... I wound 2 ribbons together and then used this gold fussy stuff I got from a discount Christmas bin somewhere, and just wound  that around too. I used stickers on the tag and then attached it with black string and a button.....

 Here's the whole front.....the corners I used a Martha Stewart corner punch, and a new shiny red doily I found this week, and two old Creative Memory's Heart punches. CTMH stamp set Heartthrob (D1309) old also....

This is the inside,  I had to use another doily (new) on the inside but this time it's white but the same size and shape, the more of the old CM hart punches and one new sticker.... Boy I used a lot of OLD things I had, that must mean I got a lot of STUFF!

I did this shot of all the things I used... and pulled together to make my card this time. Kind of Pinky, even the tape gun... Love that tape gun, I waited years before I got this because I though it was just to BIG to use.  But it's very light weight and balanced and the refills are at a very good price... So I got it about 6-months ago and LOVE it. So sorry I waited so long to get it, but so glad I did!!

If you have any questions about how I did something just drop me a line from the Contact me tab at the top of my blog.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!
