Halfway Through January!

Today is the 15th and that means it's time for two new Dirty girls to join the Dirty Dozen at Splitcoaststampers. If you are a Fan Club member, you will be able to see who they are and see the creations I made for this month's theme! If not, head over there and join! It's a great way to support SCS and receive benefits just for FC members! I am SUPER excited about both girls that are joining the SCS Design Team this month! Here is a sneak peek of one of my creations:

Isn't he cute?

I can't believe how fast my six months on the team has gone! I only have one more month as a Dirty Girl! Seems like I was just announcing my secret! It has been so much fun.

The 15th also brings a new challenge to Really Reasonable Ribbon and today's challenge is Valentines! Of course you must have ribbon or trim somewhere on your project! Here is what I made:

I used my Grand Calibur and Grand Ovals dies to cut out my frame, then added some fun designer paper by The Paper Studio to the inside before I stamped my sentiment. I embossed with Cuttlebug's Seeing Spots embossing folder. The heart is a Spellinders die. I made two slits and tied it with Dots White Organza and Cherry Baker's Twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used my heat gun to curl the edges of the ribbon.

Kind of hard to get a good photo that shows both the inside and out! I hope you will play along!
