Take Me to the Mardi Gras

This is a Mardi Gras card I made for my folks.  My father plays trumpet and has a long tradition of being part of Dixieland ensembles around this time of year.   One day, I'd love to get them down to NOLA, even if it wasn't for the Grand Fête.

Materials: A2 card blank, scrapbook papers, Fiskars corner punch, feather, and glitter.

Wonderland Valentines

This year, Baby Cecilia's Valentine theme was "Alice in Wonderland." (FYI, Sir John Tenniel's illustrations are part of the public domain, which is awesome.)  We'll likely do a different theme each year, and when her pincer grasp evolves enough to manipulate drawing and painting materials, she'll have more of a "hand" in their making! ;)

...Be Mine!

...Be My Valentine

...Will you be my Valentine?

...I want to be your Valentine!

Materials: Aleene's tacky glue, asst. glitter, Dollar Tree doilies, scrapbooking papers, Offray 1/8" ribbon, stickers, foam glue dots, and asst. button and beads.  

Gaga For Valentine's Day!

For your consideration:  the Lady Gaga Valentines.

Dollar Tree doilies, Martha Stewart glitter, asst. scrapbook papers, Michael's ribbon, and Aleene's tacky glue.  Fonts courtesy of DaFont.
