"Be Mine" Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Be Mine" Blog Hop hosted by Ashely from The Blog Hop Princess. Please make sure you start this hop at her blog so you can see all the wonderful projects for this hop and also she has some blog candy to give out.

You should have come from Jamie's  blog.

I made a special card for my daughter.

The Valentine's monster came from (I can't find who he came from so if you know, let me know in the comments please).  I used my Promarkers to color him and my glossy accents where added to the little hearts. I finished up with some light and dark purple glitter glue from Studio g. I'm not for sure who makes the ribbon. Sorry.

Since I am the last one in the line, I get to thank you for hopping with us today and to say, "Happy Valentine's Day."

I had "Love your Pet Day" and this adorable pre-colored digital stamp from Dearie Dolls Digis is perfect for my Valentine's card for my daughter who is our animal lover. The little angel has long blonde just like my daughter too.

 Pink jute from My Life in Arts N Crafts Store.

 Everything else on my card was odds and ends from my stash.

I hope you don't mind if I show you one more card today. I started designing for The Stamping Chef and they had their release yesterday and I didn't get my card done in time. I used one of the adorable stamps from The Stamping Chef, colored, made a lot of colored copies and then designed and made these Valentine's cards.

  Here is a close up of the digital stamp...

Welcome to Challenge #6 - Anything Goes for Tsunami Rose.  Here is a peak at what I created using the beautiful journal papers from the new set entitled Parisian Daydream.

These digital papers are so beautiful that they are art within themselves and as I put this photo layout together I decided the papers were enough and that I only needed to add some glitter glue to the flowers and some rhinestones.

Please visit Tsunami Rose to see the full set of journal papers from Parisian Daydream and all of the other beautiful papers and journals.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Chalk N Stock February Challenge

Welcome back for another Chalk N Stock Challenge. This month's challenge is "Anything Goes" and I have a little inspiration for you.

I used chalk ink on all the panels on this card. I put a few drops on water on my chalk ink pad from Studio G and then ran my white card stock across the pad and this was the end result. I wish you could see it better. It has a fax suede look to it. The stamped words are done in dark brown chalk ink. I love the way chalk adds softness to your projects even with stamped words.

Here is looking straight down at the card so you can see the wording.

And one last view from an angle.

So get out those pastels and chalks and get to work. I look forward to seeing your creations over at the new Chalk N Stock challenge.

Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog

Use Red or Pink

Big news for all my Lorby's World fans... I am now on the the Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog. This is a challenge blog that is awesome and a great place to get your challenge on. I am so happy to be part of the new team!

Now on for our newest challenge: USE RED OR PINK

Use either red or pink or both on your project and we would love to have you enter it in this months challenge. Scrappy Frogs is a challenge blog featuring challenges of all different kinds to get your creative juices hopping and have some fun along the way. Challenges are posted every 3 weeks.Head over to Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog for all the rules and to link up.Wow!

Here is my inspiration for you:

I used my Nestibilities to cut and emboss the three top circles with hearts and then I found a freebie circle with design edge in an SVG so I used my Cricut to cut that out. The top three layers of paper is glossy paper with a design that I got with a photo album when I first started scrapbooking many moons ago so I can't tell you who makes it. Sorry. The under layer is just a white that I used my pink chalk stamp from Studio G to ink the edges. I also did the same on the inside.

 

The key is from my stamp collection from Fiskers and the pink embossing powder is from Recollections.

Head over to Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog and see all the projects that the design team has done. You truly will be inspired.

Thank you for stopping by today. Hugs from Jearise in Lorby's World.

Valentine's Mailbox/Treat Box Blog Hop

Valentine's Day is just two weeks away and we wanted to see what kinds of mailboxes, boxes, and bags you make to give those special people in your lives. Join us for some amazing Valentine's inspiration in plenty of time for that special day and those special treats.

3. Leave an email address where I can contact you if you win.

Also, two other crafty bloggers are offering blog candy so make sure to stop by Lynne from Her Craftiness and Jackie from Jack Rabbit Scrappin

Now on with the inspiration...

I kept changing my mine. First, I was going to use an SVG file I have to make a mailbox since the word mailbox is in the blog title. Then, I was going to Mod Podge a paper mache mailbox I bought this past week only to realize I wouldn't have enough time to get it done. That's when I found the latest release from The Cutting Cafe called Little Red Wagon Box. I fell in love...

The paper is from K & Company.

I used Ditto glimmer spray on the red sides to give it a gold glimmer and texture.

As you can see, the cute little boxes come out of the wagon and 

each little box can hold a special little treat like Hersey Kisses.

The sentiment is also part of the Little Red Wagon Box set as well the sentiments I used on the prizes. The soft pink jute comes from My Life in Arts and Crafts.
