January WMS Blog Party

Good morning, my dears. Today is Blog Party day for Waltzingmouse Stamps. This month's theme is 'sweet things' - perfect for Valentine's Day ideas, I'd say.

Here is the card I created for the party:

The jar and candy images are from Candy Jar Christmas Fillers. I am so glad some of the images in the set, like these candies, aren't specifically Christmas images. With a little holiday-appropriate colors, they are now Valentine's Day candies :) I am going to challenge myself to see what other images I can add to these jars, they are just too cute to put away until next Christmas.

Anyway, I colored my candies pink and red and glittered them up. The sentiment, from
Sweethearts, was a perfect fit with my images. A bit of patterned paper, some subtle background stamping and this cutie will be perfect for one of my nieces.

I thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your stay. I'll see you at the party!

Anya

  12. So cute Anya! Love the little details like that subtle stamping on the background. It's great when you can use seasonal stamps out of season. Wouldn't it be great if Claire offered other jar fillers?
