Hugs and Kisses

Here's a card I made for a friend who just had a baby girl. I used scraps from some of my old (retired) CTMH paper and paper pieced the main image. I love this stamp set, Love You Forever. The sentiment, "hugs and kisses" is from, A Little Buzz. If I make this card again, I would ink the edges of the main green rectangle the same way I did with the green rectangle which has "hug and kisses" on it but I didn't feel like taking the card apart and possibly ruining it! I will probably be including this in a package instead of sending it in an envelope, so I had a bit of fun and made it all poofy with the pearl on top of the crocheted flower on top of the paper flower on top of crocheted ribbon.

Caboodle with Love You Forever

I love all of the owl and other bird stamps that are so popular now so I was eager to get the Love You Forever stamp from CTMH. My daughter used each and every stamp in the set on the day it arrived! Well, that was about a month ago and am only now getting to play with it myself.

I based this card on one by Sherrie Siemens in CardMaker magazine's March 2010 issue. I really love her card layout and I think I will try it again with more details as I made this one somewhat quickly. The flower was originally White Daisy and I colored it with a Crystal Blue marker.
