Whoops, second post today--LNS challenge.

Almost did it again, I keep forgetting about posting my card on Wednesday for the LNS challenge.  The two week challenge for this time is to use your dies or framelits.  I must say I do that on most of my cards so it was a really easy one!  I decided to go with an nontraditional Valentine! Those of you who visit my blog often know I love to be different and Valentines is no exception.  I love these colors on this card, really fun to use the Oh, Happy Day for a Valentine card too--the unexpected!  

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do--we did this at my class tonight.  Along with a few other fun ones I will be posting in the next few days. 

Used lots of sets for this card:

Stamps: Perfect Pennants, Banner Blast, Starburst Sayings

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla, Really Retro DP

Ink: Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar

Other: Starburst Framelits, Hearts Framelits, rhinestone

Busy and Cold day!

It is so crazy cold outside!  I can not even stand to let my dogs out--my nose hairs freeze in the couple seconds I have the door open--and those silly animals don't want to come back in when I call them--they act like it is just another day in paradise?!   The good news is that I have had lots of time today to create since much of what I had planned was canceled!  So now I have cards to post for the rest of the week--and then some, lol.  I am going to start out with a card I made for the Create with Connie and Mary challenge--I have not played along with them in quite some time.  I really liked the sketch so I thought this is the day!
