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
Tools – Letraset Promarkers & Flexmarkers,

ReplyDeleteHi 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!

HI Mandy! Thank you for sharing such a cute card, I bet your husband will love it! I'm with you... I'm trying to do a "no spend" since I have so many supplies I need to genuinely use and enjoy before buying more hauls... :)
