Valentine rewind....

Hello, everyone!

I have been doing year in review posts this week over at my other blog (Courtney Lane Designs). Combing through my posts I found a few Valentine cards that I made last year that I wanted to share with you as it is that time of the year. Some of them were posted on this blog some were posted on my other blog.

Valentine cards are always lots of fun to make and Joy and I usually try to make several every year to inspire your own cards to give to your little Sweeties or big Sweethearts! Below I have 4 cards and one little bag for goodies!

This one is made using Give A Hoot.
This one is made using Paper Pups.
Create A Critter
Groovy Times
This sweet little bag is made using the Art Philosophy cartridge.
 Thank you so much for coming to see me today! Make sure you come back tomorrow to see what little goodie Joy has for you!

January promotions:

The January stamp of the month is called Little Reminder and coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge. It also has some great number and sentiment stamps! As usual it is $17.95 if purchased alone or only $5 with any purchase of $50 or more!





Also, the Rock the Block promotion continues until the end of the month for any order over $25 out of the Fall/Winter catalog for just $15 (a $45 value!). You save $30!



This great promotion comes with the blocks, holder, and this massive stamp set!

*NOTE make sure you add promotions when prompted by the ordering system. If you add promotional items for prompting the discount price will not be reflected in the total. Also, orders cannot be altered after the orders are placed. Please contact me before the order is finalized if you have problems.



Have a great day!
