Put Your Heart Into It

Good morning everyone.  I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday.  Only one more day and then the weekend will be here ... yeah!  We have a new challenge for you today over on the Meljen's Designs Challenge and Inspiration Blog.  This week we are asking you to ... put your heart into it ... in other words, use hearts.  And, since it will soon be Valentine's Day, why not use this challenge to get some of your Valentine cards made?



I used Lovin' Turtle on my card today.  I colored my image with copics and colored pencils and added a little StarDust stickles to the hearts on her shell.  Yes, I've decided my Lovin' Turtle is a girl ... that's why she's got stickles on her shell!  I added some ribbon and a bow, my sentiment, and some hearts cut with my nesties.  My paper is the new We R Memory Keepers Valentine line and I've fallen in love with it.  Wow, I must be getting better since I'm actually using this paper rather than hoarding it LOL!



Now, be sure you stop by the Meljen's Designs Challenge and Inspiration Blog  to check out all the gorgeous work by the DT members and to get all the details on our latest challenge.  Here's the latest release from Meljen's Designs.  Aren't they just the cutest?  Such perfect images for your Valentine cards.  You can purchase these or any of Meljen's Designs images at Whimsy Stamps.
