Be Our Valentine

Valentine's Day was the perfect opportunity to try out my new punch and "I {heart} Hearts" stamp set when making a Card for Sam from both Ella and I. Fortunately the punch and stamp set arrived a few days before Valentines Day.

I used a white pen to write on the inside of the card.... I always like to let Ella write (have a little scribble) on the inside of cards we send particularly when she has helped me to make them in the first place.

Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate*, Very Vanilla, Kraft
Ink: Purely Pomegranate*

Stamps: I {Heart} Hearts, Wonderful Words (retired)
Accessories: Purely Pomegranate Double Stitch Ribbon*, Crimper, Hear to Heart Punch

*Purely Pomegranate is a retired "in colour" from 2008/2009 Catalogue...still one of my favourite colours.

Turning Two

I can hardly believe it, but it is true, Ella is about to turn two.

In keeping with trying to be more organized and not leaving our personal card needs to the last minute, I made Ella's Birthday card a couple of weeks ago, I also made a card for her little friend who turns two a month to the day after Ella.
