Thank you all for your kind words about the new look. Sara has been keeping an eye on the comments and she is doing some little tweaks here and there as we polish up my site. You may see a few minor changes already, and there are a few more to come. Thanks for your patience and for bearing with us as I get used to this, too. Also, thank you for your suggestions.
Well, it’s Friday which means I get to show off an ABC project. Being that tonight is the Verve Stamps release party {in the SCS Verve Forum at 8 EST}, I thought that it would be fitting to show something from the upcoming release. This project uses mainly the Hundred Hearts set, but I also threw in a stamp {Happy Valentine’s Day} from Hearts on Fire. This book was so fun to make and I think that adding more personalized pages with pictures, memories, coupons, etc., would be super fun to do for a Valentine’s gift.
I suppose a good place to start would be with the cover. I used some SU! patterned paper along with a felt flower (Creative Cafe} and clear embossed the pink heart to give the cover some added dimension. The entire book is put together with a binder ring that I attached several pieces of ribbon to. Do you love the flourish or bracketed {not even sure if that’s a good word to describe it} ends? I found THIS Martha Stewart punch at Impress Rubber Stamps. Yes, it’s a must have!

Here are the following pages. As you can see, I tried to keep the same look going throughout the book. Clean lines, simple features. Who woulda thunk I would go for that? ![]()

The numbers are cut from the Basics 3 cartridge with the Slice…

This is my most favoritest lovey dovey sentiment EVER! Could it be any sweeter?…

Finally, a page for me to write in my own sentiment…













This adorable!! What a great idea to give one of these instead of a traditional Valentine card! Very cool and totally case-able! TFS.

Awesome change to the website, Jen! The new look keeps it warm and “girly” - much like the old one - but this time it looks cleaner! I love it.
