Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!
Here's the wreath I made for my scrap room using Purple Cows Spring Punch It.


Supplies:
paper punch
6” Styrofoam wreath
Hot Glue Gun
Straight pins
Scissors
Use scraps or your favorite paper
Ribbon
Embellishments

I used My Mind’s Eye, Love Me Do kit. Clay roses I made using Whisper Fairy’s mold. Organza ribbon from my stash.
Instructions
Cut 1 ½” x 1 ½” squares. Punch one corner of each square.  Trim off the border.  Fold the squares to make a cone. Start pinning the cones on the outside of the wreath.  You may also use glue if you prefer.  Once you get to the third layer, you’ll need to trim about ¼” off the bottom of the cone.  To cover the inner raw edge, use ribbon or your choice of embellishments.  I used clay roses.



PCW Birthday Challenge

Paper Crafting World has a Birthday Challenge. Here's the card I created using the BC Cutting files.
I used the border to create the background. Instead of cutting, I used Amy Chomas pen writer. I did however cut the decorative frame.

Love Song Blog Hop

Welcome to the Love Song blog hop! 
Here's the song that inspired me, "You and I" by Stevie Wonder.
I love Stevie Wonder and this song!
We are celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary on Wednesday and this is what I created for my husband, Michael.
I used the heart shaped box from TBBM cartridge and topped it off with Paper Crafting World's Lacey Heart, Border Love set.  I also used the border to create the background on the card.

The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby and the metal heart embellishments were attached using CraftGeek Pin It by Purple Cows.
