Scrapbook tag inspired Valentine’s day cards

Hey folks! It’s been a little crazy around here so I’m behind (again) on blogging. A few weeks ago I went to my favourite LSS Scrappin’ Great Deals to get some inspiration for new Valentine’s day cards. I found these great scrapbook tags and designed a new set of cards around them.  I’ll be sharing them with you all week.   Here’s the first one I spotted, I loved the pun (as always) and loved that it wasn’t all pink and red. I found some of my favourite Bo Bunny paper from these baby cards and got to work.     Because the tags were meant for scrapbooking, they’re quite large and I needed something bigger than a standard...

Mini Valentines

I love all things mini. Mini cupcakes,  mini cookies, mini pies,…ok, I like mini desserts.  But I do love mini cards.  My  mini love notes are a testament to that; and I thought I’d offer a different style.

The stamp set is I {heart} Hearts from SU and is one of my favourites.  I turned the 3-heart stamps into balloons!

Happy New Year!

I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone.  I’ve been lucky enough to have taken many trips- the highlight was most definitely my trip to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. I saw two of my high school friends get married, and another welcome her first baby. It was also a successful year for A Paper Buffet, making some great local connections. I want to thank you all for your continued support and I can’t wait to see what 2011 has in store for us! I’m busy working on some Valentine’s items and working on a new line that I hope to introduce to you soon. Cheers to a happy, safe and successful 2011! Ciao for now,...
