I want my friends to see the things out there that are special, inspirational, worth some extra notice. This list is everything I think is worth sharing... better read it... you could be on the list!

Valentine's Day Love Fest

OK, here it is -- I fell in love with this card by JoAnne from Just a Little Something

I fell in love with it so hard that I thought I'd CASE her (Copy And Share Everything) for the Valentine's for my Mom & Dad.  Here's my version...

 

Yeah, yeah, I suck at sewing, but I was still happy with it.  I have no idea why my camera won't photograph my kraft cardstock like JoAnne's.  Hers looks all soft and warm... mine looks grey.  Of course, in real life, mine looks krafty. 

Anyway, I was feeling all good about my version THEN she did it to me again... before I could post, JoAnne CASEd herself and I like this version almost better....

Damn. I want to be her when I grow up.  Sigh.

OK, so now, here's another one -- this one is all me baby -- and it's one of my favorite cards EVER. 

 

 

I still want to be JoAnne, but I'm happy now.  Think I'll go have a glass of wine to celebrate.

Valentine's Day Best of the Blogosophere

Love is in the air and all over the Blogosphere.  I've been busy too.. but of course, I'm not quite done with my cards.  I'm hoping to make several cards first thing tomorrow and get them in the mail before the post comes.  Nothing like a deadline to get me motivated.  Yep, that's how I roll.  

I did whip up 50 pillow box Valentine's for the boys.  The cost on these, including candy worked out to be .10/box.  Of course, I didn't charge myself for paper because it was last year's left over's just sitting on the bottom of the pile.  Pardon the saturation on these... it was quite late when I finished.  I'm especially proud of the cute little labels.  I designed those myself in Photoshop and printed them to fit in the SU punch :)

OK, now that I'm done proving that I do occasionally make things, you can see the lists of all the amazing things the rest of you guys create....

Fun with Flower Soft

Today Paper Craft Planet has a really fun game to play. The Super Novas all got together and played with the new Flower Soft Snow Globe CD. OMG -- it was SO much fun! I got completely carried away! I'm so excited to share this project with you.... and you can play along and win a prize by participating in a scavenger hunt! Keep reading for instructions on how you can win!

How cute is this?! It's off the Snow Globe CD -- you just print it and cut it out and insert the display globe! I used some Tim Holtz distress ink in straw to create the yellow background and the rest was just glue and fill! I love feeling like I made something fantastic, but really it took me 10 minutes. Hee Hee. Here is the inside. I made this cute pocket to hold a packet of cocoa. I added another Flower Soft snowman to complete the card. It makes me smile just to look at it.

I had so much fun, I decided to make a second card...

I had to do the inside here too. I'm in love with the snowman...

Today's scavenger hunt is sponsored by Flower Soft! You could win a GENEROUS prize if you play our game...

"Flower Soft makes your stamps look real,
that's why it has such a huge appeal.
You can use it on flowers or snow,
it's great for trees and plants, you know.
You can win some if you can link
the Snow Globe CD - you can do it, I think!"

Quick and Simple Sympathy

Hey everyone! Today's sketch challenge is pretty straight forward. We're making a square chard this week with a center medallion that is NOT square. I used my sketch to create a stash of sympathy cards, but this sketch is versatile enough to use for birthdays or holidays or whatever. I can't wait to see your "take" on this!

Here is my card:

The sentiment is an Eskimo saying that I saw on a stamp set somewhere (can't remember). I used my computer to print several of them and then just cut it out with Nestabilities. The patterned paper is retired SU. I used a Versamark pen to highlight the debossed edge and to create a false mat near the edge. Truthfully, you can make this card in about 15 minutes. You have to like a quick card :) OK, to play along, create a card using this sketch. Tag it "sk121209" so that I can find it for our gallery album. One lucky person will be selected to be featured as this week's "Shooting Star" and get a special shout out in the gallery and in our weekly newsletter. I can't wait to see what you make!!! Join the Sketch Challenge Group

Made Me Laugh Out Loud

This card made me laugh until I had to pee.

Hilarious!

Sweet n' Sassy Stamps Challenge

I couldn't be more excited to bring you this challenge -- it's a sketch challenge, sponsored by Sweet n' Sassy Stamps. To play along, create a card using this sketch:

To play, upload your card to the Paper Craft Planet photo gallery, and use the tag "SNSS1" -- all caps, please. (Here is a tutorial on adding pictures to the gallery, if you need it.) Sweet n' Sassy Stamps has generously offered a chance to win this adorable stamp for one of our lucky challenge players.

Here is my card:

 

The Supernovas and I all used the new digital stamps for our cards. I picked Noses 4 Sale. Isn't this little guy so cute?!  He's printed on Neehah paper from the Paper Temptress, and then colored with Copics. I added some Ivory Flower Soft for the snow.  The patterned papers are all from the Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly collection.  Here's a close up of the little guy:

If you've ever had a chance to play with digital stamps, they are really a lot of fun.  I print directly on cardstock and then spray with a matte sealer to make sure that my Copics don't run the printer ink.  If you wanted to resize your image, you could do that right in your image editing program.  Wouldn't this guy be adorable on a children's t-shirt?

Check out what the other Super Novas came up with:

Card of the Week & Best of the Blogosophere: October 16 - 23, 2009

Hey, I had a member ask me to narrow down the Shout Out list because it had gotten so long that she was having trouble seeing all the entries in a reasonable amount of time.  I would love to do that, but I can't pick -- it's like having a favorite child.  Instead, I'm working on redoing the blog.  Hopefully soon, I'll have tabs on the site that let you look at the list whenever you're in need of a little extra inspiration.  You'll also have the ability to search the blogs that I read for quick lists of whatever category you want.  Stay tuned :)

Thank you too, for all the wonderful birthday wishes.  I had a wonderful day and was truly humbled by all the love.  You guys are awesome.
