In memory of Skylar

A beautiful photo of Skylar, one of my cockatiels, looking out the window late summer. My sweet cockatiel went to heaven today. It's been a very sad day. She was 6 years old.

February's FREE Valentine's Day A.T.C. kit of the Month

February free Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month, "Vintage Valentine"
You will receive one of these kits with every order placed during the month of February.

Here is a close up of the sequins and buttons in this kit.

Here is a close up of the paper doily, faux postage stamp stickers and jewel gem, all on one of the 3 in. x 4 in. pieces of paper that I have distressed with ink to make it look vintage. This is the technique I used on my "Vintage Valentine" Artist Trading Card from my previous posting.
Here is the February free Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month, "Vintage Valentine"
It features 2 background papers for your Valentine's Day ATC from the new Making Memories Je t'Adore Valentine's Day Collection, the Patterned Stripe and the Pink Polka Dot. It has pink polka dots on one paper (both sides shown on the top left of the photo), and cream, red and pink hearts, stripes, flourishes and more on the other paper (front and back of this paper is shown in the photo at the top right).
You will receive a blank ATC and a clear ATC sleeve to place your created ATC into. You will also receive both 3 in. x 4 in. pieces of the Making Memories Je t'Adore papers, an image cut from our Childhood Valentine's 1 or 2 Collage Sheet, one of the ribbon pieces (3 shown in the photo), and a 1/2 in. x 4 in. piece of red glitter paper. There is also either a red or an opal clear jewel gem, a corner piece cut from a small circular white paper doily and one vintage faux postage
stamp sticker (These items are shown on the ink distressed piece of Patterned Stripe paper). And of course, you all know my love for sequins.....so here we go again.....a pinch of different sizes and colors of hearts, even some with sayings, red and white cupids, the word, "Love" and "Happy Valentine's Day". You will also receive one of the eleven heart shaped buttons, in white, pink or red (these are shown on the right side of the photo). Lastly, there will be a strip of love sayings, like You are so beautiful, You hold the key to my heart, more than words, a never ending love story and so on. Wow, what a lot in this kit! You be sure to love it!
You can purchase the Making Memories Je t'Adore papers shown here as well as the Vintage Tickets (a package of 40! These are a must have!) and the Making Memories Je t'Adore Valentine Charm Bracelet Kit.
