Good Tuesday Morning to you!!! 

SO, it seems that I am a huge fan of creating Valentine's Day Cards :) 

After all these years, I finally found my favorite time of year to create cards, lol! 

There is just something about pink hearts, doilies, flowers and lacy things that really just calls to me - makes me happy!!! Which means, I have a ton of Valentine's Day cards, lol, which also means, that I should get thee to thy post office soon ;) hee hee! 

Today is week 2 of Sparkle Creations latest sketch challenge: 

You have until this Sunday, January 29th 9pm PST to play along!! !

I decided to use the latest released Karber Clear Stamp Set, Fashion... 

Here is the other fashionista that comes in this stamp set! 

I decided to do some fun paper-piecing and Copic coloring... 

The sentiment is actually a part of a stamp that says: 

Love! Smile! Enjoy! 

SCRS Challenges are open to everyone, 

BUT, in order to win the prize, you must use a stamp from the 

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamp Store!

so please bare with me while I squeeze out another quickie post :) 

For today, we are sneak peeking Karber's latest clear stamp set called, 

"Karber Fashion"

This set comes with 5 images and 3 sentiments...
and will also be released tomorrow!!! 

For my first card, I decided to use the lamp image with the following matching sentiment that just made me smile while I put together this card :) 

Doesn't it just warm your heart :) 

I used some of my fave Jillibean DP and look! I used brads too!!! 

For my next card, I used one of the 'fashionable girlies' and another sweet sentiment... 

Isn't she stylin'??? :)
Especially with some more Jillibean paper and twine!
I can't wait to paper-piece her too!!!

I decided to also the following challenges for my card today too :) 

- Karber Challenge #43: Use your scraps and a Karber Clear, Rubber or Digital Stamp

- Card Patterns Sketch Challenge #137  

- DYSU Challenge #41: Use your scraps

I decided to use Karber's "Reading Millie" Rubber Stamp and 

scraps of My Mind's Eye Darling Dear DP and Kraft CS for my card :) 

Even the ribbon is a leftover scrap from a book I made last year ;) 

Hmmm... I wonder what Millie is reading... sparkling vamps? hee, hee...
