blog candy galore

Hi everyone,
I've entered the cuttlebug challenge and have been blog hopping off and on all day long. Whew...I'm exhasuted. I had great fun and saw some wonderful blogs. These ladies are really talented.
Anyways, I came across 2 that are giving away blog candy.
The first is at BettyBee'sBuzz and the 2nd is at Amber's. So head on over and join in the fun!
hugs, Valerie

Hi everyone,
Here are a few cards that I made a last weekend and now that I'm blogging, thought I'd give loading pictures and blogging at the same time a try. It hasn't been easy and it's taken me a very long time to do! Whew, but it's done....for now. I was going to add some of the Valentine cards but I think I'll wait for a bit, need to have a cup of tea before I tackle this again, LOL
hugs, Valerie

I mentioned in an earlier post that I really enjoyed watching Dawn's tutorials. I saw this and just had to try it. I'm a girly girl and love pretty dresses, shoes, purses.... and it seems I'm into blues right now.

This is a double flap card, again from Dawn's tutorial. I like how this turned out, but I think next time I'd use smaller brads, it's a bit stiff to open.

This is called a secret panel card that I made for my grandson, Sebastian.

I got the idea from Dawn's tutorial. It's not made exactly like I watched on the video. By using her measurements I just could not get mine to work, (sorry Dawn!) so I made it bigger and I'm happy how it turned out. And I'm sure my grandson will love it.

this is as you open the card...

this is the 'secret panel' middle of the card

this is the inside back

here's a card I made from a tutorial at Dawn's

a new style

Hi everyone
I've changed the face of my blog. One of my favorite colors is pink and the dots are just cute. I want to thank Meda for guiding me through these changes. So tell me what you think?
Thanks and have a great day.

A great blog to visit

Hi everyone,
While I'm going on about all of these new blogs I've visited, I have to mention one that I really enjoy and that's Dawn Griffith's site. I've watched her on You Tube also and her tutorials are all really great.
You can visit Dawn at: http://www.dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/
Okay, time for a quick nap and then I've got to finish some cards I started earlier today.
Have a great day!
hugs, Valerie

Kim's Valentine Blog!

Hi everyone,
I'm on a roll with blogs and blog candy, LOL!!
I've just found Crafts by Kim and she is giving away Valentine blog candy. To be eligable, just tell her what type of trimmer you prefer. I use the Provo Cricut trimmer. I like the slider arm, it locks in and holds your paper.
