Valentine card 6

Hey everyone, sorry for my two week hiatus. We are about to move so I've been busy getting all of that in order. I thought I would make a quick post today for Valentine card 6. Today is going to be a fun day over here, I'm taking the hubs to Ikea for the first time. He's never been so I'm looking forward to corrupting him :D

Alright before I get too carried away in my excitement over this move, here is card 6! This card was inspired by a card I had seen on Pinterest, not sure of the actual source or creator to give credit, but this is my take on it...

This card is actually going to be my little sisters birthday card, since her birthday falls just after Valentine's Day. She will be 16! She's very much in love with vampires and the like so I just know she will love this card. She has kept every card I've ever sent her and has them displayed around her room, I'm sure she and her friends will get a kick out of this one.

Well that is the card for today, sorry this post isn't longer, but it's about time I start getting myself and the girls ready. They get to go to Grandma's house today while we go to Ikea.

Haul and Giveaway!!!

Alright, now it's time for more details on my recent haul. I was able to find some great deals at Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and SimonSaysStamp and here's what I bought and I'll post links to as much as I can for you if you're interested.

 The picture above is items from Michael's and Hobby Lobby. I bought 4 new Copics (E31, 0, C1, C3), and made sure to use my coupons :D I also got a new Martha Stewart Scoreboard for less than $10 but I didn't get it to fit in the picture.

 These 3 stamp sets from Recollections I found on clearance for $1.49 a piece! I couldn't leave without them. The robots will make adorable boy cards, the ocean creatures I will use for my daughters upcoming "Under The Sea" birthday party, and then the Halloween ones....well thats pretty self explanatory lol.   Then there is a sentiment stamp set from Hero Arts that was in the clearance bin, it's originally I believe $14.99 and technically it wasn't even on sale but because someone at the store messed up and through a bunch of them in the clearance bin I was able to snag this set for $7.49.    The bag of buttons is from Hobbly Lobby, which I used a coupon for so it was only $2.99. and of course the ATG tape was a necessity, I go through that like it's going out of style. I also got the canister of flowers on clearance for $2

  These paper packs I found on clearance at Michael's for $1.19, they are MME "moments" and "Miss Caroline-Dolled Up" collections. The recollections All Seasons Paper Pad was only $3.99 and it has 180 sheets of adorable pattern papers. Red sticky tape was on clearance as well for $1, and then I grabbed a couple of different brads for $1.99 each. I got glittered black brads, sea shell brads, and heart pearl brads. And the conversation heart stickers for $1 that i'll be using on my daughters Valentine school treats.

This is my most recent SimonSaysStamp haul, this is where I splurged a bit. Chevron backround stamp from Hero Arts, as well as banner die from SimonSaysStamp.

I have been dying to get my hands on this Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamp and I finally just couldn't keep it out of my cart. A few more stamps from C.C.Designs, the Coffee Kiki, Nora, and Bunny Lucy. Flirty Anya from The Greeting Farm, and this adorable little Elephant stamp from Stampavie

I also got 2 packs of pattern paper, Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection and Basic Grey's True Love collection with matching cardstock sticker sheet.

I also got my first Magnolia stamp Tilda with dotbow. And as always whenever I order from SimonSaysStamp they always throw in a special little Thank you treat, this time it was some gorgeous blue rhinestones. 

Okay I know what you're thinking, enough already where's the giveaway?! So here it is...
