Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday #308

Hello! Good Tuesday morning! I hope that your week is off to a good start. We have had a couple of springlike days with the highs in the 60's and 70's - unreal for this time of year around here- and I'll take all of these type of days that I can get in February!

We have a new sketch for you today at Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday. This sketch is courtesy of Donna, and our optional theme for this week is "Hugs and Kisses".

For my card I have used Simple Stories "Love and Adore" 6x6 paper pad, and the heart sticker is from the sticker sheet. The white with black dots paper is from Fancy Pants' "Sweet Nothings" paper pad, and the sentiment is from Close To My Heart - D1458 Whoo's Your Valentine. Instead of a bow I have added in a couple of rows of black gems that I picked up at Target's $1 spot a few months ago.

Once I finally decided on what papers to use this card came together very quickly!

Head on over to Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team.You have two weeks to play along, and you can link up on the blog or on our Facebook page here.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope that you have a great day!

Paper Play Sketches #33

Hello, hello! I am back with my third post of the day. If you are looking for my Sketch N Scrap reveal, please scroll down or go here. For my Love To Craft Challenge Blog reveal, go here.

We have a great new sketch posted over at Paper Play Sketches today! Here is a look at the sketch:

I have once again used Simple Stories "Love and Adore" collection for this card. I already had the paper pad out on my desk from my last card and thought I would get some more use out of it! The "XO" strip is from one of the cut apart papers from the pad, and the hearts are from the bits and pieces pack. I hadn't planned on adding anything extra, but once I got my card made I felt like it needed a little something extra, so I pulled out those heart die cuts and I think they are the perfect touch!
