Masculine Valentine's Card

One of my favorite new paper kits from Close to my Heart is Ariana.  I love the flowers and combination of colors.  I also know that my dear husband is not fond of receiving flowery cards, even if it's for Valentine's Day.  I used this lovely paper kit, Chocolate woodgrain Washi tape, and Wild Thing stamp set to create a masculine Valentine's card.

Here is some other artwork using the Ariana paper:

Transformed Recipe Box

I've had this blank slate of a recipe box sitting on my shelf for months.  Yesterday I set it on my table determined to turn it into something lovely.  Here is what it became:

 I covered it using retired papers and embellishments from Close To My Heart.  The music paper was one of my favorite Christmas papers ever, so I knew it had to go on something very special.  The smile stamp is a sneak peek at an upcoming stamp of the month from Close To My Heart.
