Just wanted to say....

Friendship is a gift from the heart!

I wanted to show you how versatile Docerela stamps can be! Valentine's  day is not only for Husband and Wives, Boyfriend and Girlfriends Etc! It is the perfect time to tell your friends how much they mean to you! So using the New Stamp Set Lovable I used the stamp phrase "Just wanted to say" and then using the New Stamp Set Mix & Match III I used "Friendship is a gift from the heart" And made a card for my friend! These sets are so easy to interchange with each other!  And I was just told she is EXTENDING the sale on the set LOVABLE!! Whoot Whoot only good until January 15 Midnight EST  $10.00 plus FREE Shipping!!

Wishing you the Best Birthday Ever!

I learned a new technique today thanks to Amuse Studio! I embossed using Double sided tape that I ran along my papers, covered it with Blue Tinsel Embossing powder and then used my heat gun! I love how it turned out! It made such a perfect line! Yippee!

All these papers are 100% from my Scrap pile!
