Yes, clams again... they're so darn cute, I just can't help it.
Anyway, this is an easier one to make, which reminds me that I really need to go back to doing sketches... I like how sketches inspire me and make me think.
A few that I check out is SketchThis:, Card Positioning System (CPS), PageMaps, SCS in different places (in members company, in techniques, in challenges). All worth looking into.
I'm also digging up some old stuff to mail out for a Girly Girl challenge for my CardSwap group on LJ. Already mailed out a recycled Xmas card for my Yahoogroup, and need to work on the Vday sweets pack for my Yahoogroup partner. Also needed to start on my pink & green challenge... Whoa... my weekend is packed.
Oh and we have Superbowl and parties to go to... time... I need more time. Better get crackin'.
Supplies:
Card by DCWV
Heart stamp by Hampton Studio
Background stamp, Clam stamp, word stamp by Savvy Stamps

XOXO
Whenever I hear 'XOXO', it reminds me of Gossip Girl, which is on hold until the writer strikes ends. BOO!!! The Gossip Girl sign off is:"You know you love me, XOXO, Gossip Girl"
Anyway, this XOXO is for lovey dovey lovers... or as Carry Bradshaw would say 'Lova'.
Yes, I watch way too much TV, in case you can't tell. But I digress.
This card again is not made for anybody specific. Just got some stuff laying around and thought it'd be nice to make something of it.
Truth be told, I think I've mentioned it several posts ago, I've actually packed up my Vday stuff. But still have several more cards to show... :)
Other than that, right now, we're rolling thru Easter stuff, which is sooner than I realize, who knew that they moved Easter up earlier this year? Should've known when Mardi Gras started earlier too.
So, here's the chain of events: 3 friends bday, Superbowl, DH bday, Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, Chinese New Year (guess I should make a card or two for that, huh?), another friend's bday, then Vday.
That's alot within 2 weeks time. Isn't that crazy?

Sweet nothing
Sorry this pic isn't very clear... I tried shooting it several times and it still came up the same...
Anyway, hope you had a good weekend. It went by so fast, I don't even know what had happened... All I remembered was a blur. Other than that, I got zero crafting done.
I did, however, clean up one of my desks, as I prepared to put another bookshelf in there for my craft stuff. It sucks because no one wants the desk, and I feel bad throwing it out. I liked the desk because it's the first desk I had since moving out of home. I picked whatever I wanted and paid for it myself. So, I'm very proud of this desk, which makes it even more difficult to give it up.
Anyway, it's all clean, dusted, not a box or a piece of paper on it. I have to keep up w/ momentum so I can move the shelf in there.
That said, I did make some more Vcards last week, after I vowed not to make more. But I found some of my stamps inside my little clear stamps folder. So, I felt obligated to ink them up. So, ink I did...
This is a plainer card, but wasn't really into Vday this year with all my friends and DH's bdays. (2 big ones, and 3 not-so-big ones) With all the hussle and bussle, I'm more incline to make more Bday cards than Vday cards... Anyway, so here it is.
Have a good day!
p.s. I was reading Julia's blog, and she did a Dahlia Fold, which is a tea bag folding technique. Which came from Handcrafted Greetings Go check it out, there's other free instructions and templates too. Have fun!

Clams
I just love this... it's so cute and so true sometimes....
I often like to see little emoticon that have one lean over to kiss the other and they blush. That's what this reminds me of.... too cute!
I also was inspired by the Savvy site to do some 'Savvy' style stamping. That is: stamp a background, and stamp the main image in black on top and work it out with a theme. So, that's what I did.
Result: I think the background of the card and the shadow image I have was a tad busy even though they go together fine. But, it is not exactly directing my eye to the clams. And as the message said, Happy as a Clam... I think I'd like to spotlight it more... we'll see.
Another busy weekend ahead, hope the sun will come out soon. Feel like I'm living in London or something... dark, cloudy, misty, and dreary.

Purple love
I was looking at this card and have to giggle a little. The word stamp is from a Xmas collection from Stampendous... but I'd much rather the LOVE stamp be used for Vday than for Xmas.
Anyway... this is one of my generic cards... what does that mean? Well, this is one of those I'm not making it for anybody in mind. Sometimes my friends inspires me and I like to make cards for them. This one, however, have no one in mind.
My Mom likes this card because she likes this color combo. I like it ok, maybe is the Bow, but not sure... what you think?
Supplies:

bouquet
So, here's another Vday card... it's a quickie... I love making Vday cards, but I don't usually send them out, so I don't make too many of them.
I mean, I used to send everyone a card on almost every occasions, but then I got busy and forget to mail... then you know how the rest of that goes... to the pits.
This is a nice simple little card, not too much frills. I really like the card itself though, the pattern is subtle and it's very subdue. Or maybe I'm just tired... don't know which...
Alright, hope you have a great day before I kept on blabbing on things that I have no idea what I'm talking about.
