LOVE your cards. I so get the 'mojo' thing. That is why I am trying--though not totally successfully to do things ahead this year. I just need to remember to mail them in time.

OMgosh, I totally can relate. Every year I say I will make & send out Christmas cards-every year I just say it!

So pretty! How do you keep the flower from getting squashed? :)

For a flower like that I put in a box of pages-instead of an album.

two cards one garland.

.[two cards].

I made these two cards last week with new TCD's Far & Away and Memories lines. They were for a project and I went with a couple others cards instead.

Happy Birthday card-TCD Memories line: flowers, paper die cut, button
Remember card-TCD Far & Away line: dot paper, script paper, pearl sticker (this one used), paper strips

.[heart garland].

This is something that I made two weeks ago. Very simple and sweet heart garland. I have one or two more in the works-if I can finish them! I had/have so many ideas in my head and even some that are just unfinished on my table, argh. There is just never enough time for everything!

a Valentine-layout?

.[new LAYOUT].

It has been a long-long time since I have done a layout. For my TCD dt blog post today I thought I would do a layout-to ease myself back into that side of my creativity, lol. I knew I wanted to have a few hearts popping off my page-so I stitched them vertically down on my page. I went from 8.5x11 to 12x12 by adding the white pattern paper-I had intended for this to be a 8.5x11! But it didn't feel right so I went bigger. I used TCD's Stationary Noted line for this page-a perfect line for Valentine projects.

.[products]. garland, paper, white notebook pp, chipboard

love boxes.

A few plain boxes dressed with strung punched hearts, mother of buttons and a wood beaded heart. What fun & sweet gift boxes, I hope the gifts inside are just as good!

love specimen 2.

.[love specimens part 2].

Last Valentine I made a project I called love specimen-because I was thinking about how bug specimens are pinned down...I know, it's funny where inspiration can come from! Over the weekend I made another one. Everything is stamped with many of my favorite stamps.

Valentine's Day Inspiration: day 4

[heart garland]

Today I am sharing a simple white heart garland, I meant for it to have a bit more pink-the dangling love letters started out pink. Then I changed the letter stamps and went with black ink-I kinda wish I kept the pink letters. Oh well!
