Valentine's Day Card for Totally Stamps/Holy Cricut Swap

Hey everyone! :)

I promise I have not been M.I.A! :) I have just been a little busy, but really that is no excuse. I really should try to get on all the time. You deserve that! :)

Well Michelle at Totally Stamps/Holy Cricut has card swaps open to all of you who would like to join us in the fun. We do one card swap a month and you can even join in the challenges if you would like. With the swaps, please NO FLAKING! Just to be fair to everyone. :)

I did the Valentine's Swap (which is closed now). I had a hard time at first, but my friend, Valerie, lent me her CTMH "Amore" Stamp Set. I just started messing around with it and came up with this!

The "Love" image is actually pop-dotted! :) This was a fun and quick card believe it or not. :)
This is what I used: American Crafts (white CS), CTMH (Amore Stamp Set), Ranger (Distress Stamp Pad in Aged Mahogany and Pine Needles for the image and scattered straw and Vintage Photo for the stained look), Flair Designs (Patterned Paper), Studio 18 (bling), Walmart (tulle).
Thanks for stopping! :)

BIA's Summertime Challenge!!!

WOW! I have been out of the blogging scene for quite some time this month, huh? I have been doing a lot of projects and hopefully a couple of them will pan out for me. :) We will see though! :) Now let's get to the fun!!!!!

The Zutter Zisters had another fun challenge on the BIA Blogsite. I have been really loving challenges lately. When I see one..I have to do it! :) Well, the challenge was to make a Summertime project using your Bind-It-All. I himmed and hawed for a while and then realized what would be one of the funnest projects out there and really needed at this time of year. :) My project was a Floen Family Summer Envie Book! I was thinking that it would be nice to keep certain things within reach, so I could just grab it when I needed it. :)

So here it is:
