Mark's Finest Papers

I was very sad to make the decision to leave Stampin' Up as a demonstrator, because for 8 years it was my main source for inks, papers, and stamps. Now I have discovered a whole new world out there in the papercraft industry and what fun I am having. I recently decided to try some of Faith's papers over at
 Mark's Finest Papers. This tomato red and yum yum blue eyes cardstock were the first ones I purchased and they just arrived today. Faith also had the new Basic Grey collections in the handy 6 by 6 inch size that I love. I decided that although these were not exactly the standard colors used for Valentines, I found they worked perfect with this sheet out of the Sugar Rush collection from Basic Grey. I used my Martha Stewart punches, my nestabilities scalloped heart, and this other spellbinder diecut. I don't know all the names of them. I can either take away precious creative time to learn them, or say what the heck I need to play!!! So, guess which I choose???I'm spreading my crafting dollars around  and am thoroughly enjoying all the wonderful things I have discovered. BTW, the image is from Hampton Art Stamps. I love vintage stamps. I've been so anxious to get started on my Valentines because it is my next favorite card making time of the year. I sell my cards and now my domino necklaces in a shop where I rent a booth space. So, it is time to get those Valentines up on the shelves!!!! It has been fun.
