Work, work, work

Apologies to all for the lapse in my post!  I have had a ridiculous week filled with work, workshops, and illness! I just couldn't keep up.  I did manage to get some crafting in this week.  For Valentine's Day, I made a bunch of 3x3 valentines for my co-workers and added a piece of chocolate for each of them (the really important part!). I tried not to put a ton of thought into it and just create.  I like how they turned out, don't you? (I just LOVE Kraft paper!)

The next 2 cards are from a workshop I did this week for a friend.  They showcase items from the Occasions Mini (my favorite so far!) and Sale-a-bration.  I loved how they turned out.  The first card was inspired by a card by Sandy Mathis at stampwithsandy.com.  

Supplies:  Very Vanilla CS, Twitterpated DSP, Daffodil Delight CS
Stamps: Elementary Elegance (SAB)  Ink: Pear Pizzazz
Extras:  5-petal flower punch, Scallop trim border punch, Pear Pizzazz seam binding, brad

 This next card was my own design, but after looking at tons of pictures of other beautiful cards made with this set, I have to say I was inspired by everyone!  I am so in love with the Framelits! I love how you can position them anywhere on the cardstock you want, or how they coordinate with stamp sets.  I can't wait to see what other styles Stampin' Up! comes up with!
