Grandma & Grandpa Valentines

Tonight for Family Home Evening, we had a lesson on Love. We always sing "Love At Home", which drives my children crazy, but until they learn lesson #1...Anyway, after my good husband read scriptures and told stories from Gordon B. Hinckley's book, Standing for Something: Ten Neglected Virtues That Will Heal Our Hearts and Homes, we wrote Valentines for our Grandmas and Grandpas.  Each child wrote a little note, and my favorite was child #3's to Grandpa: "In May we could look at my Legos.  XOXOXOXO's"  Ahh.  So loving.
It's hard to see, but on this red card, I actually punched a heart out of the red paper and stamped on the white card behind it.



These are actually the cards I whipped up (amazing what I can accomplish without interruption) at Jenn's house the other day.  I am loving the new Heart Prints set from PTI--the stamps coordinate with heart punches--Yahoo!  In the pic below, you may be able to see that I popped up the hearts on dimensionals--two layers for the little heart.  Enjoy!

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
