Valentine's Day cards

I created these two cards for my niece and nephew for Valentine's Day.  I used the current colors of the week Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla.  I also used the current Mojo Monday sketch.   I was inspired to use the Fox and Friends set because I saw it on Stasia's post yesterday.  She used Fox and Friends and I remembered I have not used this set in a long time.

Supplies:

Stampset: Fox and Friend, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Family Reunion

Ink: Early Espresso,

Paper: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Timeless, Portrait

Tool: 1 3/8 and 1 3/4 circle punch, large oval Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Early Espresso Satin Ribbon, Pearl Stickers

Spring Pencils

I know it is still January, but my head is in the Spring.  So I created these fun Pencil toppers.  I saw this cute punch art on Mary Fish's blog last year, but never was able to create something with them.  So this year I decided to make some early.  These and many other things will be at my table on March 23 at the annual Mary Theres Rose Fund Vendor Day.  The information is below I hope you can join me.  Donate to a very great cause and the best part it is during Sale-a-bration and you can get a little something.

Supplies

Paper: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede

Tool: Blossom Petals Punch, 1 inch, 1 3/8 inch, and 1 3/4 Scallop circle Punch, Owl Punch, 3/4" x 15/16" Oval Punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Rhinestone Stickers
