3 cards today! #18, #19, and #20

From a fantastic day at stamp club! Sure makes me think of the upcoming Valentine's Day. This first card is done using the stamp set VALENTINE DEFINED from the Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalog ( Jan 4 - April 30 ) So many cute things in this set! The embossing folder and the ribbon come from Stampin Up as well. Cute, elegant and simple!

Card 1.18.11 - Inspired by Stampin Up and an afternoon with friends

This next card features the owl stamp that is available in the SALE-A-BRATION ( January 25th to March 31 ). For every $50 you spend, you get to select something from this cool catalog! The red glitter paper and embossing is of course from Stampin Up. SO MUCH FUN! "Love" in the lower right hand corner is from the stamp set mentioned above.

Card 1.19.11 - Inspired by LOVE and owls and a super group of stamping friends!

And here is another one from that fantastic sunday afternoon. Flamingos from he Valentine's Defined set. It is a fantastic set of 8 stamps. I am going to try to get my hands on this set ASAP. Below you can see a technique that I almost never use. SIMPLE SPONGING! A few colors that coordinate with the paper and a moon masked in the background . PRETTY cool. So nice to be stamping. I am loving it. So I am one card ahead and hoping for a snow day tomorrow so that I can do some more.

Card 1.20.11 - Card inspired by flamingos at sunset! true love!
