Happy Valentine's Day - MPS blog hop Friday (February)

Hello,

Another interesting MPS blog hop!!! This time I can play along with Robyn and her design team's challenge by using black with my favorite color or colors!! I used red, white, and green with black. A note though: Almost all colors are my favourite ones LOL.

My project to enter is a simple Valentine Card. I cut the flower at 2'' out of Sweethearts cartridge. A brad was used as the center of the flower. Papertrey Ink dotted green ribbon was used was the stem and leaves. The sentiment is from an MPS stamp set. Martha Stewart punch was used.

TFL and Happy Valentine's Day!!!

The Stylish Blogger Award

I am so very pleased that Olivia at My Hideaway and Mary at Handmade by Mary awarded me with The Stylish Blogger Award. I have used The Blogger for some months. Both the blog thing and paper crafting are new to me. I feel that I am still a beginner as the days go by. I learn something new everyday from everyone else. So, you know how I feel.

Thank you, Olivia and Mary.

I made this card to celebrate and to say thank you to all of the follower friends and visitors who have encouraged and supported me so far.

Sweethearts Cartridge, Matha border punch, Papertrey Ink ribbon and MPS stamp were used.

*In order to complete the requirements for this award I must tell 8 things that you probably don't know about me, so here it goes.

1. I have been a teacher of English for nearly 10 years. I love my job a lot. But now I am turning my passion to what-you-know-it-is :)

2. I was never a craft person. I never cut anything by myself. I even could not imagine I can make such cards and never thought there were such tools and machines to help ease crafting and make it a fun.

3. I had not even known what a blog is like until I discovered this wonderful world of paper crafting.

4. I used to spend some time studying in Hawaii. Took nice pics there. I hope I can scrapbook some of them with Life is a Beach cartridge. Still waiting for the ordered paper to reach me.

5. One more thing I have learned to do thanks to this new hobby is that I know how to bid on ebay lol. It is interesting to bid to the last minute and win what you like. Have won some cartridges at good prices from there.

6. I have a little cute daughter who especially loves reading even though she is 16 months now lol. She always holds a book in her hands, stares at it and whispers something that only she can understand lol

7. I enjoy making my daughter paper stuff. The next project is an alphabetical animal booklet and decorations for her 2nd birthday.

*Another part of receiving this award is to Pay it Forward to 8 more Stylish bloggers:
