CCP #52 - Valentine's Day Cards

The challenge for this week is to us your Valentine's  Day Cards!
I created this one with my Cricut using the Creative Holiday Cards Cartridge!

I hope you can play along with us this week!

It's Bokeh Time!

It's Sharon and it's my turn to pick the challenge this week. I say it's bokeh time! I have always loved that soft unfocused look of layered circles. Sort of how the world usually looks to my eyes anyway LOL! 

I watched this great video at WPlus9 and then played around with distress ink water colouring. I even made my own circle stencil like she does in the video. I was really happy with how it turned out, but I know it is a bit hard to see in my photo. In real life it looks very cool!

Be sure to check out what the other Party-Ers did this week with bokeh! 

Wedding themed!

Hi there.. it's Kathryn here and this week it's my turn to set the challenge at our Party!  As our youngest son is getting married in May, I've chosen a wedding and love theme for this week's creation.

Here is my card...

I used white embossing powder with the Off the Grid stamp from Stampin Up!  I love the look and will be doing this technique again!

Link up your wedding items below and see you over at my Fancy blog!

Something New!

Hi all!

It's Rosanne with this week's challenge and it's an easy one, just use something new!

New paper, new embellishments, new stamps, new dies, anything new.

I recently purchased a new Papertrey Ink stamp set with a gorgeous fern image that I just love and used to create this card:
