Living Creatively: Valentine's Day Card with Rubber Soul & MFT Release Party

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I can't believe it's the middle of the week already! I have a jewelry class to teach today, so I'll be gone the majority of the afternoon, but I wanted to share one of my latest cards. Some of you may have seen it already on the CKMB or AMR MB.

I used the new Rubber Soul Valentine's Day stamp set that I got on Sunday at their Poulsbo store front. I just love that place! Even Travis was picking up stamps and showing them to me. I also scored some of their retired sets for $1.99. That's right! Normally $14.99, reduced to two bucks. You can't beat that!

I also wanted to let you know that one of my favorite stamping companies, My Favorite Things, is having a release party tonight from 6-8 pm PST for their January stamps on Split Coast Stampers. Click here to get to the forum. Click here to see previews of their new stamps. If you like critter stamps, then this is the party for you!! Kim, the owner, usually offers a 20% off coupon for your ENTIRE purchase, plus she has free shipping on orders of $40 or more, and trust me, you can find $40 worth of stuff to buy at her store!

To give you a taste of MFT stamps, here's a card I made using one of their sets:

Doesn't the dog look like Sedona except with cropped ears?? I just love this set. It also comes with a similar cat image. I'm working on that card right now, so stay tuned!

One last thing. I wanted to share with all of you the awesome stamps that Christy grabbed for me. If you know me at all, which I think you all do, I LOVE birds. They're my thing. When I saw the new Inkadinkadoo stamps, I knew I had to have them, but I couldn't find them anywhere here! Now I'm the proud owner of two groovy sets. The first one is called "Birds Galore" and the second one is "Bird Assortment." Can you imagine the fun cards you can make with these stamps?? Oh, my head is twirling in circles just thinking about it. Now I know what I'll be dreaming of tonight!

Enjoy your day everyone! Now go be scrappy.
