Ballerina

I love sweet images of children. There is something timeless about them. Of course it may also have something to do with the fact that I love children. From the time I was small, I always wanted a large family. That wish certainly came true! šŸ™‚

This Sandra Kuck Ballerina image is adorable and believe it or not, really easy to color. TheĀ  beautiful shading in the image does most of the work. I decided to see how she would look in purple and blue for this project and I love the sweet look. After all, not every little girl likes pink. As I’m not sure exactly to whom this design is going, I decided to keep it clean and simple.

Now I have to tell you some sad news about the Sandra Kuck line. Cornish Heritage Farms is retiring this line and today and tomorrow are the last two days to purchase any Sandra Kuck Stamps. If you’ve got one on your wish list and have been putting it off…this is the last chance. I’ve included a few clips of other designs at the end of this post just in case you want to see these beautiful images. My absolute favorite is called The Prayer.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and love is in the air. A few snow flurries too! Something I like to do to relax and also use up some scraps is to make easy, scrappy cards. I hate throwing out scraps of what I’ve been designing with and I also love re-purposing product for another event. It just occurred to me that none of the product I used was actually specifically Valentine’s Day product. The heart pin is part of a spring/baby colored theme of pins and the loved chipboard piece, a “family” themedĀ  5th Avenue collection from Making Memories.

Ā luv.

This big pink luscious Prima flower has been sitting around forever! lol I love to hoard beautiful things. Enough is enough though and I finally put it to good use! I thought it would give the card a fun look to spell the sentiment luv, instead of love. It also saved some of my more “precious” vowels for another project.

Supply List: Blush Red DArk Cardstock by Prism, patterned paper, Brad and chipboard letters by Making Memories, flower by Prima, rhinestones by MAMBI

Want a glimpse into some paper I’ve been designing with lately…just check out this card. I couldn’t bring myself to through out these so pretty scraps, even though they are pretty tiny. The easiest way to do this is glue all your strips onto a thin sheet of paper, then cut to size. As you can see, I’m loving these Making Memories’ chipboard letters!

Supply List: cardstock by Prism Papers, patterned paper, chipboard and letters by Making Memories, pin by Fancy Pants Designs, felt by Queen and Co., punch by Fiskars

Quick Tip: Think of fun ways to use products. Just because we might be a little more thrifty right now does not mean we can’t have fun. Stretch your creativity and you’ll be glad you did!

Just to enable you a little…Lindsey is having a storewide 30% off sale at Jacksonbelle Embellishments until midnight Tuesday. Promo code: Feb30

Have a simply wonderful day!
