Scraplift at Pixie Dust

It's challenge time at Pixie Dust Paperie!  It's a Scraplift challenge, open from Oct. 20 to Nov. 5.  Just pick out an October DT creation and give it a spin, give it a new look.  Kirsty is offering some great prizes:  one lucky winner will win a $15 gift certificate to Pixie Dust and one winner will receive 4 yards of hand dyed crinkle ribbon!  The Winner and Top 3 will be showcased on the Pixie blog.  There are some simple rules to follow:  become a follower of Pixie Dust, use the "I love Pixie Dust Paperie" badge, and link back to the blog.  Check out complete details here.  I have a sample here of a scraplift (and check out the blog for the other DT samples):

I chose Kirsty Vittetoe's Love Notes to scraplift.  Isn't this box gorgeous? 

 And here's a sample of the love notes she created for her daughter's lunchbox and her husband's suitcase. 

 You can see Kirsty's original post here.  I really love Kirsty's project and when she suggested a scraplift, it was the first thing that came to mind.  I put a spin on her project by changing it to valentine postcards and changing the color scheme.  You can see some of the similarities in the design of the cards.  I enlarged the Artisan Box pattern from Papertrey Ink to fit  my cards.

  I used Pink Paislee and My Mind's Eye papers. 

 One of the details I really like on Kirsty's project is the pretty spiral flowers.  I had to include a couple of them on mine.

And of course, it's hard for me to do anything without vintage images and I LOVE vintage valentines. 

 This little girl is one of my favorite stamps.  I haven't used her in awhile, but something made me think of her.

  She's paired with some cute PTI heart stamps and a pretty vintage button.

  Aren't this couple adorable?
