I’ve got Valentine’s Day on the brain, so I’m really glad that Kristina Werner’s Color Inspiration #38 had colors that work with that! Today’s colors are:

011309-color

I decided to use the tic-tac-toe board from A Happy Heart. This set was in the Holiday Mini Catalog that ends on Sunday, but the good news is that it is also in the new Spring-Summer Idea Book & Catalog, so it can still be ordered after that as well!

Stamps: A Happy Heart
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Stampin’ Write Markers, Flower Fusion felt flowers, Pretty in Pink brads, Pretty in Pink 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Border Punch

Love this set! I’ll be showing you a few other cards with it as we get closer to February. Thanks Kristina, for another great color inspiration!

After weeks of watching me play along with Kristina Werner’s Color Inspiration, Eve asked to play along too. Although she is only 5, Eve has been stamping since she was 2, and I completely trust her with all of my stamps and supplies (except the sharp ones.) In making the card below, Eve used the Stampin’ Write Markers to color on the various parts of the tic-tac-toe stamp. Although we both decided to use the same set, Eve came up with her own design. I just cut the paper for her.

I think she did a great job for her first time! It was great mother-daughter time, too, sitting down and making our cards together.
