Tic Tac Toe Challenge #101

 Hi there! It's time for a new board over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge and we hope you'll play along!

My card is following the First Row on the diagonal: Cute Critter, Dots, and Hugs/Miss You.

I layered an embossed piece of SU Crumb Cake cardstock onto a piece of SU Real Red.  The embossing was from an older folder from We R Memory Keepers with big dots.  It was one of the first "3D" embossing folders.  The dots are big and bold but didn't photograph too well here so I added little dots to my cute critter's cheeks :) The bear is from the stamp set that came with the December Paper Pumpkin kit and I colored him with SU Blends.  He's holding a little die cut stitched heart from Memory Box.  The sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp that I just had to have (given the name of my blog :), cut out of Real Red cardstock.  

Thanks so much for stopping by...come play with us!

Hugs,

Annie

CASology #383: Envelope

 Hi Friends! A CAS card today to play along over at CASology where the inspiration is "Envelope."  

I've sent a lot of "paper hugs" to my family and friends over the past year so that was the starting point for my card:

I kept it very simple in black and white with a touch of red using a stamp from Simon Says Stamp called Paper Hug.  I popped up the stitched rectangle for a little interest and added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the heart.  

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentine's Day!
