The set being showcased today is Love, Love, Love...
 
 
 
I love this sweet set and I really had a hard time choosing what image I was going to use on my card.  Here is what I designed.

I decided to go with the pretty heart and rose image that I cut and stacked to make the rose pop.  I added a heart behind the main image then embossed and inked the edges. Behind that is a doily.   I cut the heart border with a die and stamped it with the cute border that is in the set.  I added some sheer ribbon, tied a bow and attached a tag with a heart stick pin. The word love and a  hand drawn heart were placed on the tag.  I added the fun heart paper clip to the top.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by each day and again thank you for all your wonderful comments.
Be sure to keep going and see all the teams great creations.
Lots of Hugs

" OH Baby" 

The mini stamp set we have for you this month is
"Not So Ugly"
 
The stamp set being showcased today is
"In My Den"
  
I have two cards I have made using this cute set...  It's great for those man cards or you can jazz it up for a lady...
        For my first card I used the clock and one of the great sentiments.
I added a clock brad in the middle of my paper flower.  The sentiment was embossed with gold embossing powder and another small brad was added to the chime.
The flower card I did this week for the challenge at Tutorial Time.
I used the cute comfy chair :) 
I hope you will continue on and see all the great projects the rest of the team have for you today and don't forget to stop by tomorrow for day 4... our final day, of the blog hop.
