TTCRD Challenge: Valentine's for a Male, NO PINK

Hello crafty friends! Where did January go? LOL It disappeared on me when I blinked! If the rest of the year goes this fast it's going to be Christmas again! Our weather today is 60 degrees and in case you forgot I live in Maryland. This time last year we had snow up to our noses, but I am not complaining! Hope you stay warm and dry where ever you are! Sharon, hoping you will have cooler days in SA!

Who has been watching the new products at CHA this week? My bank account is going broke for sure! Lots of awesome, must have toys this year for us to play with!  There is even a new embossing machine! So stay tune to your favorite stores to see what's coming!

Today is another fun challenge day at TTCRD ! We are being sponsor by Dude Time Doodles who supplied us Archie Heartful,  who is one  handsome dude! So come on and play with us! Dude Time Doodles is offering a $10.00 GC,  and Althea, from Ippidy an $18.00 shopping spree!! Lots of shopping for the lucky winners!!


Paper: Jillibean Soup/ Dutch Mustard. I only  found one store with some left here.
Conversational Heart Brads: Stash
Sewing on edges by machine
Nestability Classic Heart
Copics: Skin:E11, E00,E000. Hair: YR09, YR07, YR04. Shirt: YR65, YR13, YR04, R24, R22. Pants. YG23 and YG21.
Flowers: flower soft
Cuddlebug heart embossing folder.

TIP OF THE DAY: When your buying your craft supplies and you have a specific item you know you want.  Do a Google search. You will sometimes find large differences in prices between stores.   I always check E-bay before I purchase anything online, but make sure you check out the cost of shipping. What you might save in price you could be making up in shipping cost.  But, I have found lots and lots of bargains on E-bay including Nestabilities for as low as $10.00!
