V-Day cards

here are the remaining cards....

used the ali edwards "heart" story kit & stamp set on these and embossing were the main attractions on them too.

i'll have to post my layout a bit later.  forgot to upload/edit the photos.  ooopsies.

i have been on a roll peeps!

...oh yes i have... i guess you could say i got my scrapbook groove back...i guess that year break was needed huh?

well here's more...layouts and sneak peeks of cards...

"heart" layout...

used the aliedwards story kit & story stamp for this plus scraps i had around...

...and another one..."5.23.2010"

used old cocoa daisy kits & scraps i've had stashed...  i think my fave on this one is the white embossed pentagon stamps...so fun.

 and finally the peek-a-booz on cards i just did....

i have been in the mood to emboss with those american crafts zing powders...oh my goodness! and oh i so love ali edwards' story/stamp kits!!!!  i'll be sticking with them for awhile.  so not overwhelming and definitely something i can travel with on the go.  now i just gotta figure where i'm gonna store them....hmmm...time to come up with or buy a nice storage box for them....hmmm...

gotta go...breakfast and get ready and teach my zumba class this morning...it's on!

now for...then + now...me & you...

well here's what i was talking about in my previous post....

a quick layout i managed to squeeze in yesterday using some of the ali edwards story kit & stamp set "old & new"....

i think my fave detail of this layout is the use of the stamps as a frame around my photos...used "the same" and "different" stamps in the ali edwards set...

to start off my journaling, i used those little cute stamps "the things that are..." "the same" & "different."  it really did help me figure out what to write.  i probably could have written more, but did not want to overwhelm the bottom too much. i still love the way it turned out.

i can hardly wait to get the new one of ali edwards' story kit & stamp "heart."  i really love the fact that the kit is small and i can totally see myself using it up right away. simple but so cute. love....

gotta run out of the house, pay selene's gymnastics for next month, then pick her up from preschool....then prep the drunken chicken marsala for tonight's dinner...then gotta teach my Zumba class tonight at the Alaska Club East.
