Scrappin' My Stress Away: Vintage Valentine

My Scrapbook Goals for 2013

Last year, my goal was to get published. I am happy to say that I was published in Scrapbook News and Review. I did not count on breaking my wrist in May, so I did not submit any other work.....

My crafty goals for 2013 are:

1. Find the rest of my mojo!!! It broke with my wrist last May and I have gotten some back. I need to seek out challenges, blog hops and classes to rejuvenate!! ****I do want to add that my mojo is coming back (yay) and I have great moments of inspiration, and others where I am completely stumped!!! I get a lot of comments on this goal! Last year I posted 3-5 times a week and this year I am 1-3 times a week....getting there!!

2. Finish Tyler's High School Album before his Graduation Party!!!

3. Reinvent my scrapbook style - I am feeling a little stale!

4. Seek out DT opportunities that match my talents and goals.

5. Conquer my fear of creating videos and learn how to edit!!

Vintage Valentine

Today is my day to Guest Design at SweetSassyDiva's. The theme is Vintage Valentine.

I won this clip art program from a blog contest and finally took some time to play with it. I am not the best at this digital thing but I keep trying!! I really love the vintage images for all of the Holidays!

I cut out this valentine image on white cardstock.

I selected a label from Lacy Labels and welded two of them together. They are 4.77w x 4.16h rotated 90 degrees. I copied the second label and flipped it.

I copied a third label and sized it to 4.50w x 3.92h (also rotated 90 degrees). I selected a scalloped oval and sized it to 4.69w x 3.74h (also rotated to 90 degrees). I cut out the card in burgundy cardstock. I cut out the scalloped oval in white cardstock. I cut out the mat for the front of the card in Valentine paper from my stash.
