Happy Valentine’s Day!! Hope you had a lovely day. I spent the day with 21 very excited kindergarten students who started their day sorting and graphing their individual boxes of Sweethearts, made Valentine crowns, and took turns putting their Valentine cards in each other's decorated cereal box mailboxes. They, of course, brought me some wonderful goodies – mainly chocolate!! My favorite!!
I have some very exciting news for you today. Sparkle N Sprinkle is releasing 2 new sets and you are going to love them. After bragging in previous posts how lovely our weather was, we are now definitely feeling winter. Brrrr! These new SNS sets came at the perfect time to warm things up.
What could be better than a surfin’ good time at the beach? This card uses images from both of the new sets and their cut files. I added some Hit the Beach Embossing Powder and Sparkling Sands Sparkle N Soft, along with a decorative tag and die cut shells. I can already feel the sand between my toes!! You can get the details for this card at the SNS website gallery here. Now check out these groovy sets:
Speaking of groovy, here is another sample to bring back those memories.
The image, VW Bus, is cut out using an enlarged heart cut file from the Happy Heart Cut File and the Peace Sign from the Hippy Love & Peace set used the Woody Cut File. This is all embossed using Midnight Madness Embossing Powder that gives it lots of sparkle, along with the Sunny Daze Glitter behind the Peace Sign. Go here to get more details.

Love both cards,but especially like all the elements in the first card - the mesh, the shells, etc. I'm going to have to check out the Hit the Beach embossing powder - that's one I don't have and it's perfect for this set!
Loving both cards, but the first is so unique will all the embellies! Love it!
Marie, what fantastic cards, and fun-reading blog post! LOVE the colors you selected. How EVER did you think up the colors for the first card - absolutely fantastic! Since I'm from the So Cal coast, these images definitely stir up the memories!
