Sketch 667

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I have a super cute Image for you today. I did use all the items from my stash. and the stamp set was also retired. The sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge lets you find inspiration to use up your stash!

I was given some very old rub ons by CTMH and i thought they worked so I used them for the sentiment. What do you think?

And here is the sketch for reference: 

I hope you get a chance to play along and post so we call all see what you have created. 

Until we craft again.

Valentines 2026

 Hello Crafty Friends,

I am trying so hard to use up retired pattern paper, so that I can allow myself to buy more. 

I have made so many Valentines day cards, I will never use them all up! 

As an adult- who do you send valentines to other than your husband, or grand children? 

I used some challenges to help me make these: 

The Alphabet challenge blog: S is for Square

Love those pretty papers:

Wednesdays Creative Inspirations Challenge: January anything goes.

Thanks for visiting my blog, 

I hope I was able to provide some inspiration.

Until we craft again.
