Hi all! Hope you've been having a Super weekend! Well  I'm back again today, I know, two posts in one day Goodness! lol And actually there's still one more to come! lol (Busy Blogging Day! lol )  I'm so excited to share that the Wonderfully Talented Karen Giron, of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge asked me to be their Guest Designer for today's Challenge! Whoo Hoo! I can't even tell you how thrilled and honored I am to get to work with this Amazing group of Super Talented Ladies! Not to mention, The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge is one of my all time Favorite sketch challenges too! So you know I am doing my Happy Dance right now! Yay! 8-)

I just LOVED this Awesome Sketch! I can tell I will be using this one again for sure! And thought it would be just perfect for my Darling Hubby's Valentine's Card! We have this running joke about Lions, lol so I sure hope this brings a smile to his face... 8-) I printed out my Sweet Bugaboo Lion Love image out onto Flourishes Classic White and colored these little Cuties up with my trusty Copics. I cut them out with the help of my Classic Circles, large & small, nesties sets and popped them up with a bit of foam tape. My mats and BG layers were created with a combination of red & kraft CS from my stash, Provocrafts' hearts EF and dp's from both Echo Park's Yours Truly collection & Crate Paper's Fourteen 6x6 Collection as well. To finish it all up, I stamped my PTI Sentiment  directly onto my Image panel, added a Darling PTI Heart Border, a Fun layered heart embellie created with PTI's Heart 2 Heart #3 Die, and topped it off with a Sweet little adhesive Pearl heart from Hero Arts... 8-)

Love - CR84FN69 - Week 2! 8-)

Hi all! And a Very Happy Sunday to you! 8-) Sure hope you've all been enjoying your weekend..8-)  Well today I'm back with a real quick post for Week 2 of the CR84FN Color Challenge! So you guys still have a few more days to play along with our Pretty Color Combo! Yay! 8-)

Thought I'd try my hand at a Clean and simple Valentine's Card this time, lol and was inspired by this card here I saw on Pinterest HERE ( Such an addictive website! I tell ya!... lol ) And here's my take on it! I usually send out lots of Valentines each year to friends and family so I made up a few of these! 8-)

This one came together really quickly. My BG and mats are a combination of ivory, lavender and kraft CS  I embossed with my Hearts EF & Swiss Dot EF. The hearts were cut from various scraps mostly from MME's lost and Found Blush, with the help of my Classic Hearts & Scalloped hearts Nesties and PTI's Heart 2 Heart #3 Die.. To finish it all up I stamped my I/O sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and popped up my hearts with a bit of foam tape. Easy peasy, huh?... 8-)

Here are the Beautiful CR84FN Colors...
