Happy Valentine's Day Card

  This is June Houck and I am delighted with the January kit at Artful Delight.  Each kit is always fun and packed with so many goodies, and I promise that this particular kit is even yummier in real life.  The three patterned papers and the sentiment die cut are all Fancy Pants "Be Loved" and all are included in the January 2014 card kit.  My baker's twine is from a 2012 Artful Delight kit and the button was in my stash.

  Would you like a chance to win next month's kit?  Create a card using this sketch (or a layout using the scrapbook sketch...see the right side bar for both sketches and the link up tool.)

  I used the card sketch quite literally, so the card practically made itself.

Happy Sunday!  June

Sweet As Sugar

Hi everyone, Aimee here with you today.

Debbie's sketch this month is a perfect match to the January Scrapbook kit! I feel it gives the freedom to use a lot of the kit contents but still keeps the focus on the photo. Since the theme this month is Valentine's Day and hearts, I chose to sew a heart into my background instead of a circle.

To and From

Happy last day of 2013!
I  don't make New Year's resolutions because I never keep them.
 But with the holidays over and  me realizing what is important to me and my family ( meaning I took a step back from a few things that were a bit time consuming) I  have high hopes of being more active online,  getting my craft room organized and usable,  and craft a little.
 My kids need me more and I  need to make sure I make time for myself. I  have all these amazing craft products piled in my room that I have yet to use. :-)

I  want to take a moment to thank those that have helped keep Artful Delight around for the last( almost) 4 years.  Can you believe AD  has been around for that long?
I  always have an amazing group of ladies that I get to work with 6 months at a time and of course Debbie who I couldn't do this without.  Not just currently but in the past and in the future, Artful Delight's  design team is always an  amazing group of ladies with a variety of talent.

 So thank you to everyone that has shown an interest in being a part of our team.  And thank you to all of you that stop by my blog to be inspired and support us.  Thank you to those that play along with our challenges month after month.  And thank you to our customers/ subscribers  whether you sign up just one term or come back again and again.

 All of this is why AD has been around  for almost 4 years.
