what's red and pink and glittery all over?

why, it's a Valentine's card, silly.

i know, i know, you were thinking i'd have some Twig layouts to share this morning----and i do---it's just they aren't photographed yet. so we'll push those to tomorrow.


this card here is my latest creation using the fabulous SRM Valentine stickers, paired with some Little Yellow Bicycle Cupcake Love. gosh, i can't get enough of that collection. i have some more Valentines with it to share the first part of next week---with a new video tutorial. yipppee!

as usual, i decorated the inside too. there's something funny to me about making a handmade card and stopping at the front. it just feels so unfinished. don'tcha think?

as you've heard me say before.....i just use bits and pieces of the same from the front and pull them to the inside. the SRM Valentine's stickers makes card making SO simple! since they are clear stickers they just melt right into the cardstock making it look more like a rub-on than a sticker. *swooooon*
