Happy February, Girls!
I'm so excited Feb. 01 is here - ask me why! Go ahead, ask! OK, I'll tell you - our very first Hobby Lobby in Idaho is here annnnnd, not only is it literally less than 5 minutes from my house, but one of my reps got the invite to the ribbon-cutting/grand opening thing so we're meeting there at 9am this morning - woooo! I told him to bring the coupon from the paper so I can get several things for 40% off - heh.
Today I've got 2 cards to share with you that were in the January issue of CARDs magazine.
I was so excited when Papertrey Ink came out with their new Scarlet Jewel color - it's just the richest burgundy/wine/scarlet whatever you want to call it - I {heart} it so. I've paired it here with some BasicGrey patterned paper, a Hero Arts stamp, a vintage button and some trinket pins from Maya Road. I have to admit I didn't think this card was all that spectacular but I submitted it anyway. You never know what color or style the magazine might be in need of when they go to put it together - so submit all you got!
This little snowman card is a fun one. I've got cardstock from Paper Temptress, patterned paper and diecut from My Mind's Eye, some vintage buttons, some fuzzy lace trim from Prima that I picked up at Michael's and a sentiment from Papertrey Ink. I punched that snowflake and then covered it with Glossy Accents. And that brown strip that I stamped the sentiment on - again I've used the manufacturer line on the patterned paper.
These pictures aren't the best - like the crappy photo editing I did on the left side of the first picture - LOL But you send in the actual card to the magazine and they put it in a really neat setting and have it photographed by a pro - - we ain't pros around here, folks.
Hope your week starts off great!

Scarlet Jewel looks awesome with that Basic Grey paper. So cool! Have fun at your Hobby Lobby party!!!
Hope you had a great time at the ribbon cutting this morning, and then bought lots of great stuff w/those coupons.
The cards are both terrific. I can see why they were published.
That first card is soooo gorgeous! Love the dp you paired together with the Scarlet Jewel! The snowman card is adorable and I love the stitching : ) I think we are getting a Hobby Lobby too! Heard it through the grapevine, but need to look it up! Hope you had fun!
LOL I'm coming for a visit soon! Hobby Lobby! Yeah! Hope you found tons of great deals!
Fantastic cards! Love the bow on that first one!!
