Quill You be My Valentine

Hi There Friends,

Today I am going to share with you a Valentines Card I made.  

This stamp set by Paper Smooches, I purchased last year and didn't get the chance to use it.  I made it a point (no pun intended) to use it this year.  
I stamped the images on white card stock and then colored it in with my copic markers.  The middle arrow was stamped and cut out and adhered with foam adhesive.
Thank you for stopping by today.

Tea Time

Hey Crafty Friends,

Happy New Year!  I know many of you think of me as a "paper" crafter, however, I do enjoy working with fabric, yarn and threads.  (Thanks Renee for pulling me back into the Cross Stitch area)

Today I am going to share with you a "Tea Time" Cross Stitch project I completed this year.  Many of my friends and family know that I love Tea.  I love going to tea houses/rooms and enjoying "Tea Time" with friends or family.  A couple of my favorite places I have been to these past couple of weeks have been Charlotte's Tea Room in Warwick, NY & Harmony Tea Room in Westwood, NJ.  The Tea that I had at Harmony Tea Room was the "Bourbon Street Vanilla" (very yummy).  The Tea that I had at Charlotte's Tea Room was the "Valentines Blend"  (This tea has a nice romantic scent of Chocolate & Rose petals. YUMMY)
This "Tea Time" Pattern came from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. After you purchase your pattern you will get the pattern in a PDF format in a downloadable link and you can either print it or open it up on your IPad.  I use the Nook app to open my PDF's on my Ipad.  Don't forget to save the PDF to your main computer so you will have it at a later time to use again.  

Their patterns are so easy to read, which is one of the main reasons I love them.  Also because of their cute designs.  
I have added some close up pictures of the finished project.
Thanks for stopping by!
