Love Struck - Top Dog Dies


Check out those gorgeous Top Dog Dies die cuts on my card!  I adore Valentine's Day...and it may have something to do with my LOVE of doilies!  These heart-shaped doilies have me swooning!

After die-cutting the Tag Card (A2) from dark gray cardstock, the Heart Border die and Heart Doily dies from some coordinating My Mind's Eye papers...all was layered up, wrapped with twine and embellished with some sequins!


Head on over and check out the beautiful dies that I was able to use on my love struck card! 

Tag Card (A2)
Heart Doily
Heart Border


While you're at Top Dog Dies, make sure you enter to win $50 gift card for some dies of your own!  You have until tomorrow to enter the giveaway!


I was able to grab this darling stamp set, Love Struck, from Paper Smooches after winning the Sparks Challenge a couple of weeks ago.  The sentiment is so fun with such a great font and that Cupid is irresistible...pointing his love arrow at the target!  I'm linking up to the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge: Anything Goes!  


Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

You're 1 of a Kind - Fresh Squeezed Stamps


Good morning, friends!  It is CHILLY here in the midwest! Yikes!  
I love to ink up this little guy from the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Arctic Friends stamp set!  He really brightens my spirits when I get blue about the cold weather!  The sentiment is from Take a Number and I thought it fitting to place in my daughter's lunchbox as she returns back to school after winter break next week! 

The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge ##200 was a great layout to feature Mr. Chill!


Did you notice that amazing doily and the branch die cuts?!  LOVE these new dies from Top Dog Dies!  If you haven't stopped by to see the selection of dies they have, you are missing out!
