Happy Valentines Day


I have been a very bad blogger !

I have been struggling for time a lot over the last year or so as I am now virtually full time which has definitely had an impact on my hobbies and pastimes.

Although I have not been the most prolific card maker in that time I am loving being in my new creative space.

I have room to play, and my stash is organised in such a way that I can very quickly find whatever I need.

I have made a pact that I will not buy any new stash (especially not paper). I am limiting myself, trying to only use what I have with the exception of the odd magazine with a great freebie. Even then I am questioning whether it is something I will really use....

It looks like many of the change blogs that I used to follow and participate in have closed. Also many of the digital artists that I have stamps for have close down which is sad to see.

Anyhoo, this is the Valentine's card I made for my hubby. We have been together for 30 years in July and our love grows deeper every year. I am lucky that he is very romantic and tells me he loves me all the time.

The heart background panel and sentiment are both from a Kanban card sheet, part of a kit that I had from QVC a million years ago.

The image is Emo Heart from Just Some Lines who seem to have closed now as I cannot find their site anymore.


Materials Used in this Project are as follows:- 
Card size – A5
Images – Emo Heart by Just Some Lines (now closed)
Heart panel Paper – Kanban
Sentiment – Kanban


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order):-

  2. Hi Mandy!! So great to see you again in my challenge today *Ü* It's been a pretty rough & wild year for myself as well. I can't say I'm as lucky though to have a craft room where everything is accessible, lol - Mine is crammed into a corner of my daughter's room but it does feel great to complete a handmade card now and then. Yours is super cute!

    Thanks for Linking up at ITD’s Creative Playground Challenge this month! Winners are announced on 2nd Thursday each month
