Welcome to the January edition of the Control Freaks Tour de Freaks Blog Tour! This month, we're featuring all things Valenetine's/ Love. Ah, l'amour...lol. You've probably just arrived from the totally awesome Julie Buhler's blog, Paper Pleasing Ideas. She rocks, right? I'm sure you enjoyed all of her projects. I know I did!
Let's keep the party rolling, shall we?
I don't know what's going on with me lately but cardmaking has been really hard for me! I have an idea in my head and it seems wicked awesome. Putting it on paper? Not so much. I *like* this card, I just don't *love* it. The Small Heart punch with the new I [heart] Hearts stamp set, however, I lurve. I was lucky enough to receive the stamps at the Québec City regionals.
Next, I made this love note matchbook album for my super hot husband for Valentine's day. I used the luscious Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Rectangle Glassine Envelopes and the Hugs Sending Love Notes from the new mini catalogue to make a a cute way to tell my hubs how much he means to me. I only wrote the top 5 things but there's a million reasons why I love him. Ok, everyone stop gagging...moving on....
This is a layout that I frequently go back to as it really showcases the photo. And this photo, in particular, makes me laugh. I can't tell you how many shots I have of this guy making this face. He sometimes even adds, in a thick French accent, "Can you smell what the Phil is COOKIN'?" How could I *not* love this man? LOL!
That's it for me, folks! From here you'll head on over to the talented Dawn Olchefske's blog, DOstamping with Dawn. Her projects are great so, GO! Go enjoy!! Ske-doosh.
