mSB - Pair up Project!

During the month of March we paired up for projects over at myStampBox.  I was paired up with the lovely and talented Ally.  For our projects, and since it was on St. Patrick's day, we decided to use that as our theme for the post.  I created a glass using the mini alphas set and the Lots of Dots alphabets.

Close up....

Ally created a gorgeous St. Patrick's day themed watering can, be sure to check out our blog post here to see her beautiful creation!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  May the luck of the irish be with you!!

I have created some valentines for my little girls that I teach tap to.  They are very simple but I was able to use 3 of myStampBox sets on them.  For the letters I used the Lots of Dots set, the heart is from the Bits and Pieces set and the lace looking border is from the new Graphic Borders set.

To give the tag some extra sparkle I added some bling to the border and some stickles to the edge of the heart and the edge of one of the blue flowers.  I know blue is not a traditional valentines colour but I thought it was fun to add this colour to help break up the pink.

Thanks for stopping on your journey. Don’t forget to leave a comment below to be eligible for a prize! Now on to the next station…. Your next stop is the very talented Stephanie Ackermann .

Photo Inspiration!

Today is my day to post over at myStampBox and today I am bringing you some photo inspiration.  Here is a valentines day themed photo that I hope will inspire you to make some things for your loved ones

I was inspired by the colours, the heart shape and the swirls in the roses.  For this card I used the Sigh Gush Gasp set for my sentiment and the Bits and Pieces set for my heart.

Be sure to stop by the myStampBox blog and check out my post!  Also don't forget about our Love Train blog hop coming up this weekend, you can get all the details here!  Thanks for stopping by!
