Valentine’s Day is almost here, so it’s time for hearts and sparks!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve purchased any new stamps or dies or papers, etc., but its been really fun looking through and playing with some of my oldie goldies. I have always loved these coordinating heart dies.

I have layered several sequins of different sizes and placed red rhinestones in each center. Love the resulting “flowers”.

Today I was browsing over at Splitcoaststampers and checking out the Featured Stamper Challenge. I found a beautiful scrapbook page there. So I decided it was time to jump back into the fun and actually post something! It’s been awhile!

This is a very simple card using some older dies that I love. The only actual stamping is the sentiment.

There is also some paper piercing bordering the top and sides.
