I did a round-up of my favorite project per month *here* - but I couldn't choose just one (that sounds conceited, doesn't it... let's just say for as many cards as I look back on with love, I have ones that bring on the cringe...)
I decided to go with my favorite PTI stamp set of 2011: "postmarks." It's such a dreamy set...
Here are the 2 projects from 2011 that inspired me today:
 |
| a missing-you postcard |
 |
| a bulky note |
Sooo, when my cute man walked in with these beauties 2 nights ago, for no good reason:
What else could I do but make this for him:
A shaker card full of glitter and punched hearts. (You know I like my shaker cards to make noise, but this one works, too.)
An early valentine for my sweetheart of a guy.
ps - this one's getting thrown into the MIM mix, also.
Have a great day!
Beautiful cards! I love the recessed shaker even better than a raised one. Great idea!
