The sizes of the Bingo cards will work well for Value Pack Card stock cards that you can find at your local craft stores.  The upper Left will work nice on the 5 by 6.5, the one in the upper right works great for ATC's and my Fancy/Traditional Tag bases, the one below it will fit on my smaller tag bases, the smallest one I thought could work as a charm, then the last one is another ATC size, I like to use that size, it is versatile.
I also have some different style Bingo Cards...I am calling them my "Dream Cards."  I have created the bingo card to be slimmer and taller and used the word DREAM at the top.

Vintage Valentine's Day Post Cards Banner Tutorial

Hello Friends!!
 Today I would like to share with you a soft and sweet Vintage inspired Valentine's Day Heart Banner.
Well I love how it turned out, but I decided to take it apart and put it back together...LOL.  Somehow when I was doing the video, I didn't pay attention to what banner I put on when...LOL...So I put both of my Pink bow pieces next to each other instead of on either side of the blue bow.
Here is a close up of each banner piece.
Another piece
The last piece.
I used my new Bow it All tool to create all of my fabby bows.
Here are the wonderful ribbons, trims and flowers that I used from Really Reasonable Ribbon 
in today's project.

St. Patrick's Day Collage Sheets

Hello Friends!!
Today I would like to share a few
St. Patrick's Day Collage sheets I made.
I created my own stamp template, and then did my sheets.  I had thought about making them multiple layers, but then decided to stick to the flat stamps.
I took a few original St. Patrick's day images and changed them up just a tiny bit.

The Boy in the upper Left, I added a pocket to his jacket, and stuffed it with a horse shoe for good luck, a rose, some leaves and a tiny white flowers.  I also gave him a horse shoe tucked into his hat...lol...probably heavy for the little guy...lol  I also gave his tie some polkdots, which is hard to see on the tiny images.

Traditional Green St. Patrick's Day You can find in my Etsy here.

I also decided to change the color of the scarf on the sweet Graphic Fairy image that I used on the center stamp below (I changed it for all the sheets but it stands out the best on the sheet below).
I changed it to a pink, and gave it some polkadots.

Light Green You can find in my Etsy here.

The little girl all the way to the right, she was part of a cute little couple, I took out the boy, they both didn't fit in the stamp well. I gave her a new Left arm and then added the sweet little horse shoe, with roses, flowers and leaves for good luck.
Of course when you look this sweet, who needs luck :0).

I created my own little cancelled stamp lines and circle for my stamps.  I thought it would be fun to have them say 
"Ireland."  I am quite happy with how they all came out.

I just could't decide what color combo I liked best, so I figured I would let you pick for yourself.  I know it is crazy, but everyone has their own idea of what colors they like, or what colors will fit with their decor.
It could be that you are doing a card or tag, and need something with a lighter color border....or darker color border.
So they are all in my Etsy for instant download.

Thank you for visitig!!
