Is it February already? Oh, my…time for a new calendar:
I started thinking Valentines, but ultimately just kept the pink color and skipped the holiday. Pink is such a happy color. It’s a different sort of happy from yellow, a calmer, more serene kind of happy – at least to me.
“You make me happy” seems a lot like “I like your face”, but said more subtly.
The first of every month we have a teensy weensy DIY calendar blog hop, so go see what Cheryl and Crystal are doing for February.
And be happy!
Are you in love with a little monster?
I’m awfully fond of quite a few li’l monsters myself!
These are such fun to color. I’m still a kid, I guess…I love the coloring part!
Sale-a-bration is in full swing – when you’re ready to place an order, think in $50 chunks to take advantage of all the gorgeous free product available 🙂

This week’s sketch at Mojo Monday had me seeing all sorts of shapes:
The sketch had two large circles, and I was soon thinking about polka dots. The polka dots morphed into the triangle, and as you’ve surely heard before, that was the end of that 🙂
I’ve used two hearts like that a lot lately and I’m not tired of it – are you? I particularly like the contrast between the Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry. It’s kind of a peanut butter and jelly deal.
When I realized there were two different sides of paper in my package with a triangle motif I almost shouted out loud! That wasn’t planned but it was a happy surprise for me.
Want to see where this started?
I took some liberties with the layout but you can clearly see the inspiration. The circles wanted to be more towards one edge and once I moved them they seemed quite content. (Do you talk to inanimate objects? Please say you do.)
It’s not quite a clean and simple card, but it’s close:
The Designer Series papers in the Occasions catalog are so richly colored and so versatile! There were plenty of combinations that I liked, but this one with its rainbow-shaped domes was the Gold Medal winner. (Admit it, you’re staying up late to watch the Olympics too,) Punch a couple of hearts, stamp a message and cut it out with a framlit and you’ve got a valentine, anniversary, birthday, or just because card ready to go.
Dimensionals rule the adhesive world! Both the heart and the word bubble get a lift, and that’s a big part of what makes this simple layout work. The Stripes TIEF makes a difference too – those two elements give my projects that “Bam!”
There’s a little bit of Baked Brown Sugar (BBS) ink rubbed onto the Naturals trim to darken it and give it the same color tone as the rest of the card. That trim takes ink really well. (So do my fingers but that’s not what we’re interested in here.)
