SC Product Spotlight- Valentine's - Henry with Love Balloon

If you are here for the Your Next Stamp Blog hop click here. This hop is open until February 2! There is a prize available to anyone linking there name to the linky on this post.

Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!! I know I did!! The girls had the opportunity to go on the toboggan with their father while I stayed in and did some crafting and laying low (due to a migraine). It looks like we are suppose to get another Nor-Easter storm on Tuesday into Wednesday but then again so are 28 other states!!! Yikes! Is it spring yet?!!!!!!

Today is the beginning of a new week Product Spotlight at Stamp and Create. This week's product Spotlight is Love/Valentine's Day. This means all stamps that are Valentine's Day or Love related in the store are up to 25% beginning tonight!!

For my product spotlight creation, I used the adorable newly released Whiff of Joy- Henry with Love Balloon. The ticket sentiments are Whimsy Friendship Ticket Sentiments cut out with the Whimsy Shapeology Ticket die She also used Prima French White Fairy tale roses , the bow easy, and May Arts Ivory Silk Ribbon available at Stamp and Create.

I wanted to make more of a vintage creation since I don't make this style too often...When I think vintage, Victorian comes to mind...lots of detail and distressing.

For more inspiration using the Valentine or Love stamps available at Stamp and Create, please visit my dt sisters:

Joy, Lacey, Heidi, Vicky and Jeanette.
