KEY TO MY HEART

Hello Happy Thursday,
I want to share with you my post for today, I want to share with you the Candi from Craftwork Cards I used on my project. I bought a  7 Gypsy tray and decided I would alter it for Valentines.I used Candi Newsprint.
I love how it turned out this is my project.  I think the Candi Newsprint is the perfect touch to this tray.

My son gave us a plate he made at a pottery class for Christmas,the plate says The Olivers and the year we were married. Its soo pretty he did a very good job on painting it. We have been married for 29 years.

    The paper and valentine embellishments are from Authenique and the ribbon is from The Paper Studio, used Tim Holtz embellishment, the key is from michaels from the $1.00 bin, also used a Martha Stewart Punch for the paper border on top of the trey. The glitter heart is from a Valentine decoration  I bought at Michaels. 

You can buy these cute Candi embellishments at The Scrapbooking Queen Royal Shoppe .   So many to choose from. 

Thanks for stopping by and love to hear your comments,

Washi Up Wednesday!

Happy New Year everybody, Its time for another Washi Up Challenge, its my turn to showcase my project for the Challenge. For my Washi Up Theme today is snowflakes washi tape. It has been very cold here in TN we had some snow flurries and wind and that would cut thru you if you stayed outside long enough. I love the colors of the tape. The cute snow bunny is from Meljens Designs, I thought this image was perfect for this digi tape, I used my copics to color him and some glitter on this fur on his coat.

Why dont you join in on the Washi Up challenge the theme is snowflakes and lets see what you can come up with using washi tape into snowflakes. I have put a link for you to link your projects http://www.washiup-challenge.blogspot.com/
