{forever together…}

February 13, 2012

Hello every­body! Blog­ging from the kitchen today, while din­ner sim­mers and I play wwf with the hubby (who is con­ve­niently seated nearby on the sofa, and yells out “your turn Smitha” even before the game pings for me :)

I finally got myself a Word­Press app and am using my iPad for some­thing other than my daily dose of pin­ter­est for the first time! I could get used to this…

So. With all the cards I make you would fig­ure that I had a great one to give the said hus­band for tomorrow’s valen­tines day. I have many cards, but none that he would appre­ci­ate receiv­ing. So I sat and made a spe­cial one for him today.

To make the chevron-like pat­tern on the card, I used a sim­ple square punch so.


Use the punched out square for some other project, we only need the neg­a­tive por­tion here. Place the neg­a­tive por­tion in the square punch as seen below and punch again to get a chevron like ele­ment. Punch sev­eral of these, of vary­ing widths and line them up on your card.

There is about an hour left before ThePunches Chal­lenge in the Moxie Fab World ends, so I am typ­ing this up hur­riedly here!

His card was made with all graph­ics 45 prod­ucts and I love love love how it turned out! I already gave it to him ( I am totally bad pat keep­ing secrets!) and he loved it too…

I think this has to be one of my favorite projects I have made in a while now.

I have also been work­ing on my Project life all day today and LOVE it so much! The process, the pho­tos, the free­dom of design, the chaos of color… It is just so so good.

I am gonna have some free Project Life print­a­bles for you all tomor­row, and there is also gonna be a CUTE give­away !!! Stay tuned.

Happy Valentine’s Day to those of you who are already at the 14th!
