For the love of hearts… (+ a sneak peek!)

Oh my gosh…this week went so fast. We are all en route to our annual CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) trade show today in LA…bring on the sun! We’ve got a few new FUN stamps coming out for the show… these won’t begin to show up at retailers until Valentine’s Day.  We are so excited because they coordinate with 2009 catalog stamps PERFECTLY! We’ll be doing some fun sneak peeks from the show, here’s a little one of a new owl PEEKING out to whet your appetite…

Watch the blog for more sneaks next week!

Now, how about even MORE heart ideas? I would have kept stamping, but my husband demanded some table space to eat!!

These cards are all from different sets or made from the scraps I had leftover. I can NEVER have too many hearts!

This pink and brown combo can be made in minutes. I loved using the scallop to make the kraft border. My trusty scissors get a workout here.
