*For the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Hop see post below*

I am popping in REALLY quickly as it is late and I should be going to bed!

This is a mini card – about 7.5cm by 7.5cm. Very cute. We don’t tend to do Valentine’s Day in our household, so it didn’t go to my hubby – a friend of mine wanted it for hers! Ha! My hubby did make pancakes for the kids for breaky on Valentine’s Day and I asked for some love heart ones, and he did it!

I am entering this into a couple of challenges. CASology’s cue this week is Red and the Scrapbook Boutique is having a love challenge inspired by the following photo.

Oh and here are the pancakes with maple syrup! They were yum!

Short and sweet. Thanks for dropping by,

Ok, so you can probably tell that I am on holidays due to the number of posts! I am crafting to my heart’s content and loving it!

CAS-ual Friday’s are having a Thank you Challenge and I wanted to play along.

No stamping on this one. Just some washi tape, a daisy die and a thank you rub-on!

Welcome to our first AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature for 2013! Friday Feature…what is this? Well just to shake things up a bit, our AnnaBelle Stamps challenges will now run for 2 weeks…so you have even more time to play along. To check out the current sketch challenge, go here. On the alternate week, the Belles will be showcasing an AnnaBelle Stamp set and this will be called the Friday Feature. This week the Belles are featuring the Garden Silhouettes stamp set and for this weekend only it is discounted by 20% in the AnnaBelle Store.

So using Garden Silhouettes and my new Peacock Feathers Distress ink, I came up with this.

I am entering this into CASology’s Week #25: New Challenge. and also the Simon Says Stamp New Something Challenge. I am loving my new Distress Ink – Peacock Feathers.

Hope you will check out the other creations from the Belles…their links are on my sidebar.

Hello! Welcome back to another AnnaBelle Stamps challenge. We have another simple sketch for you.

All the Belles are using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set – but you don’t have to. I decided to use Prismacolors. I love the look of Prismacolor pencils on kraft and they go on like butter!

I also added some score lines along the bottom to fill up the empty space.

I am entering this into the Addicted to CAS #2 Challenge where the code word is Bauble.

This week’s Deal of the Week is 20% of all Christmas stamps and this will run for 2 weeks.  The Discount Code is 20Christmas.

This week’s winner will receive a $10 Gift Voucher to the AnnaBelle Store.

Today I am popping in quickly with a gift tag to share…I LOVE tags. When I saw that Cas-ual Fridays (CFC #80) was having a gift tag challenge, I just had to play along. There is some stamping on the background, but the sentiment and the bird cage are rub-ons. Very quick and easy to make – that’s about all I have time for these days!

I appreciate you stopping by,
