For Always Paper Pack


 Love the For Always paper pack.  This two versions of the card using different accent paper.  I have included the directions as best as i could  I didn't have anything to go by except a card I had received in a swap a long time ago. 


I have been working on Valentine cards all week and today I decided to make one for my hubby.  I think I went overboard on the hearts but that's how I feel.  Hope he doesn't accidentally stumble upon my blog and find out!  This is a tri-fold card, there are many versions and directions. 
I used a piece of card stock 8.5x10.5.  I did this to get exact measurements. Have you ever tried to get it exact leaving the paper at 11"?  
Anyway I measured up 2.5" from bottom to the very top of the page and made an angle cut.  The rest you can probably figure out.   
 I used the For Always Paper Pack from CTMH and you can order it from me, just follow the link.  I also used last months Whooo's Your Valentine stamp set and some others I had lying around. 
 This little Valentine is from I think it was a Stampin Up stamp I got at a garage sale some time ago.  Love it and it's straight out of the dictionary.

Start of my Valentine cards.
These are the layouts we did at last months club.  I think they turned out great.  Yes, they are with retired product but no on seemed to mind.  It's all in the concept.  Inspired by another consultant but I can't remember who.

A little winter wonderland scrap booking!

Look what I have done this morning and all while I'm still in my pj's.  It's a beautiful day here in Sheridan, Wyoming but I'm just not ready to get on with the day.  I received these pictures of my little grand daughter in Russia, whom I have never met and the Wonderland paper pack came to mind so I set down and the way I went.  Literally it took me less than 2 hours to create all of this.  Using just the paper pack, stickease and a little imagination.
