The Balcony - New Custom Die Cut Collection & Mini Album

I am really excited to share with you my newest custom die cut collection — The Balcony.

The Balcony Collection was inspired by the most romantic love scene of all time, The Balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet. It was a joy to create this mini, and it's absolutely perfect for romantic, shabby chic projects — including Valentine's. The mini is made for embellishing with lots of flowers and leaves.

If you would like to make your own Balcony mini, I do have a few kits available for purchase. To see the options, click on The Balcony page in the upper right hand corner.

And here are more pics of my Balcony mini album:

Girly Gorjuss Valentine's Day Card

I received my new Gorjuss stamps from the UK the other day and was inspired to create a super girly Valentine's Day card using my beautiful pink roses from I am Roses and my new white rose leaves from IAR.

The Gorjuss stamp is called Sitting Pretty and she's a doll. I also used some silky pink ribbon, a really cute LOVE stamp from the dollar bin at AC Moore, some crochet lace from Joann's, a pink bloomer from Making Memories and a cute little cupid charm. I also used my new Tim Holtz Butterfly on the Edge die which is a really cute die.

I just love Valentine's Day projects. This is such a fun time of year to be a crafter.

Here are links to the I am Roses flowers I used on the card so you can check them out:
