For My Love on Valentine's Day

Happy Tuesday! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. I got a bunch of the new Memory Box dies and couldn't wait to pay with them though I didn't use any of the new ones on this Valentine's Day card. The pretty heart in the corner is from a previous release. I also watched the Super Bowl like many of you probably did, now on to Nascar, Yeah can't wait! I am a motorhead at heart.

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we are celebrating Valentines's Day since it is right around the corner so the theme for this week's challenge is an easy one create a Valentine. As you can see I decided to go the non-traditional color route for my Valentine. I got this adorable image at Paper Shelter and thought immediately of this DP from Bearly Mine that I bought sometime last summer. I think it is a perfect match and I love the colors in it. The DP actually has some hints of pink in it though the camera didn't pick it up real well. It only took a few swipes of my Copics to tie the two together. What do you think? We can't wait to see your Valentine's so come play with us. Kristen over at Scrap-Creations is also offering a prize to one lucky player so go over and find out what it is!

From My Garden

Happy Tuesday!!! It is time for another challenge over at
                         Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.

This week we have a recipe for you to follow, use at least 2 different DPs and and 2 different embellishments. these are to of my favorite things to use on cards. I love DP and now that I have found digital DP (I love the Bearly Mine Designs digital DP) I am printing it often! I was always a paper hoarder always afraid I would use it up and then need it for another card. With digital paper I am in heaven because I will never run out of my favorites!
I never make a card without some embellishments on it so you will always see at least 2 on my card, ribbon and flowers are my favorites. How about you, what are your favorites?
I hope you want to come play with us this week because we have a wonderful sponsor
                                            The Paper Shelter
They are giving one lucky player a CG to their store. How great is that! The ladies this week all created an inspiration piece with a Paper Shelter image to inspire you to play. A big thank you for giving us a wonderful image to play with.
