Rocket Card
Found this cute pattern here: http://www.tammymitchellphotography.com/2009/02/10/make-this-cute-boy-valentines/
Here's my take on it! I only used scraps from my drawer! Inside is blank. I used Shimmerz Blingz on the flame!

Altered Tin
This tin was on sale at Stampin' Up. I distressed the paper (red & cream) with my hand held sandpaper block. I used modge podge to adhere everything. The forever is a metal embellishment I bought in the dollar section at Michaels, Love is a 3D sticker from Soft Spoken by Me & My Big Ideas, heart is cut from newspaper, and the journaling card is by K&K Company. It was the first time I've done anything like this and it was F-U-N!!!

ScrapFit Workout #13 | Show your Support!
I recently stumpled upon this fantastic scrapbooking challenge website -- ScrapFit I love it because there are only two "workouts" a month. Not too overwhelming and it gives me plent of time to work on it!
The challenge was this: "You are to make a bra card for that someone special in your life or a card for a friend to say "thanks 4 UR support" or "I support U"!"
Here's my take!
It's hard to see in the picture, but I used Shimmerz over the paper to give it some sparkle! Inside the message says: "Best friends are like good bras - hard to find, supportive, comfortable, always lifts you up, never leaves you hanging, make you look great, and ALWAYS close to your heart!"
Thanks for stopping by!

Cards
I've been on a card making kick lately. Right now I'm just making these exclusive for friends and family --they aren't offered in my etsy store. I'm new to card making, but thought I'd try it out. It's such a fun and personalized way to connect with people. Plus, who doesn't love to get mail?!
Here are a few of what I've come up with! Let me know what you think!
