Hello crafty friends! Love & Art !! Yup!  Valentine's Day is right around the corner. And speaking of love, can I just say how much I LOVE the Carta Bella 'Hello Sweetheart" paper collection in the February Kit!! I loved the flowers in this paper so I knew I wanted to fussy cut them out and use them somehow. I loved a few elements from this journaling cards paper- namely Zoro and the salt and pepper shaker. Loved the ombre hearts here and I wanted to incorporate them somehow. The VIKING!!! And the striped black and white!! No more needs to be said! And since it's almost Valentine's Day, I thought I would do a memory keeping layout of my own resident Viking (shhhh don't tell HIM that!). I started off in a DIY Traveler's Notebook Insert that I made myself. I choose a page that picked up hubby's blue shirt as a good starting point.

Hi Everyone, Im back again to show you what Ive been doing during the not so lazy summer holidays. This is a project I shared as a Team designer on AuntyVera Scrap and Craft blog. You can check it out here . Im one of those people who gets a bit bored with using the same stamps over and over again so I got this GREAT IDEA !!!

But you know me (if you know me).  Throw yourself into this challenge- I told myself.  Why do something half-heartedly? If you want to do something, do it well - I say. So the first thing did was locate and print the picture of the front of the dies: I then, fussy cut them into layers as much as  I could by watching Tim's tutorial. I then started inking them up: Here is my zombie put together (after a good hour of working on him- wasn't easy!) Why make 1 when you can make 2 and give one to a friend: They are so awful! HA! I love them! So here is my tag ...
