Deb said, "Card I made for my stepdaughter’s birthday."

Terry said, “I used some leftover foiled Valentine tags to use as tabs for my cards. I also used a gold metallic pen to draw a ‘stop’ line for those who will see these types of cards for the first time. ‘Safety first’!” 

Karen said, “Started Valentine’s Day cards and couldn’t believe that I never used this die set. Well I have now. And I added some accents from the new Vintage Valentine’s Die Cuts.”

Shellie said, “Before moving into new Candy Wrapper Valentine treat-making, I have finished this week’s Salon Nouveau Master Class. The first card (at left) is ‘locket style,’ as Anna taught, and is for my husband on our 38th wedding anniversary next month. He is a fan of nouveau, art deco and Frank Lloyd Wright.” What a stunning tribute! 

Terry said, “So, I am fascinated and in love with the Clever Sliding Dies. I did a marathon yesterday for Valentines cards, and I am hoping Anna will offer more rub on transfers this year to keep me going. I would love to make these for Halloween! This one is for my sister.” 

Kathleen said, “This week I created a number of Valentine’s Day themed Garden & Fountain Easel cards!! I love having access to the AG Finishing School videos as a monthly AG member!! So much creativity!!”

Diane said, “Working on Valentines this week creating loveliness. So easy to do with Anna’s pretty card stock and stickers. I think she showcases the best designs.” 

Fifi Soleil said, “Another card using the new Birthday Present Scroll Frame.” 

Fifi Soleil said, “I am using the new Birthday Kit with Birthday Present Scroll Frame. Love them both.”

Maria said, “Valentine inspiration from this week’s Blog for my husband!” 

Debra said, “I know it’s time for Valentines, but it’s my Son in law’s birthday and I wanted to make this card to match his motorbike!” 

Shirley said, “Happy Sunday! I finally opened my Mirror Card Kit and made a birthday card for a dear friend.” 

Kim said, “Completed this watching your video. Love this for my husband.” 

Kim also said, "Started my Valentines cards and pulled out this Valentine Slimline Cut & Emboss Folder Set I had never used.  The embossing is gorgeous! Makes a beautiful card."

Anna from Savannah shared, Guy card for a musician using new Music Dies."
