I did a gear shaped card for my Love Bots from KaDoodle Bug Designs. I bought the shape from the Silhouette store and made it into a card. I inked the edges and had to add some Sweet and Silly Peacy Keen Faces to them. I think they are adorable! To finish I did add some glitter glue, Stickles, sequins and white jelly roller. Think I will give this one to my hubby for Valentine's Day.

I've made some lollipop covers using the KBD file Be Mine Firefly. These are so cute and simple to put together.

Here's a close up of one of the lollipop covers. I did a print and cut on them. Did some doodling added eyelashes and glossy accents to complete it! How fun are these??

This is a postage stamp card that I used KBD Love Birds. I added the new PKS Sweet on You Face Asst face to the bird.

Now I hope you hop on over to FaceBook and hop with us!!!

Be Mine

Today I'm hosting the new challenge over at . This weeks challenge is "Anything Goes". You must use a KBD pattern in your project. Winner gets a KBD pattern of choice, and there are so many new cute ones!!!

So this is what I came up with. Don't you just love that moose and his mustache??? I do! The base of the card is from SVG Cuts Aunt Jill's Valentine, pattern is I Moose-tache You. I did emboss the light pink paper with tiny hearts. The red going around the frame is raffia. I thought this would be perfect for upcoming Valentine's Day.

Hope you will stop over and join us in this weeks challenge!!
