Eureka Stamps Challenge #177 - Love Is In The Air/Valentine Cards

Eureka stamp Challenge theme this week is:

Love Is In The Air/Valentine Cards

My project:

12805 Love Heart

Inside 903 I Love You

For my card this week, I was inspired by several challenges online (besides ours ;-):

Share Joy Challenge 19: Sketch & Tic-Tac-Toe: hearts+ glitter+ embossing

And Latina crafter:

Sketch # 55 + Twist de enero!! I used the twist colors and theme.

Again for this card, I used my mini minc, still unsuccessful, but I still like the result (added shine to my letters instead of the holographic foil I was intending to do):

I used papers from CTMH, ribbon from 3- Girls Jam, Minc Foil, Heart veneers from Latina Crafter, "para ti" stamp also from Latina crafter, Melissa Frances fine glitter, random hearts embossing machine (bought at a garage sell), and distressing tool from TH.

I added some glitter to my veneer hearts, leaving the one of the LOVE heart without for extra interest.

In general a fun card to make for the non-cardmaker crafter.

I also got inspired by the following challenges:

Crafty Boots: http://craftybootschallenges.blogspot.com/2016/01/ribbon-or-lace.html

Best luck in our own challenge and have a wonderful week,

Well, here is my project:

I made this layout using Karen Fosters papers, stickers, and die cuts. This line was perfect for these holiday pictures, which I took in Galveston for Christmas eve (left side) and in Monterrey, Mexico for New Year eve (right side). I used an Sketch from Tami Sanders' PhotoFull class.

Left side inside the lap.

Right side inside the lap.

Some closeups of the embellishments, I used.

The letters are from the Echo Park alpha stickers.

The Papa Noel sticker is my favorite, as it reminds me of my childhood.

The same with the Nochebuena one...

The New Year eve pictures were also special because It was my last holiday spent in Mexico, I was pregnant with my now 8 year old, and it was the first Christmas as a married couple for my sister in law and her husband.
