Hi! I hope everyone is having a good day. The weather is beautiful here - upper 40's. It's really starting to look like Spring! I'm not going to kid myself - winter isn't done with us just yet. In fact, today is the anniversary of the big blizzard we had last year. It's hard to believe we were buried under several feet of snow a year ago, and today is so beautiful.
It's February 1 so it's time to start thinking about mailing out some of the Valentine's I've been making. Now if I can only get everyone in the house to sit down long enough to sign them I'll be in business!
I combined a few different challenges today - I took the color combo from Color Q challenge 122, and used only Cheery Lynn Dies for their blog challenge. The Cheery Lynn blog challenge this week is "Sweethearts". This immediately got me thinking about the Waltzingmouse Cameo and of course the beautiful die cut Cheery Lynn hearts.
I am also entering this at Stampin' Royalty whose only requirement this week is to make something for Valentine's Day - It's all About Love.
I started with the new Sophia's Heart Doily, topped it with the French Pastry Doily, and then layered the hearts from Two of Hearts and topped them with the cameo images. I made a post bow with two colors of seam binding and glued a felt flower in the center. The crochet flower at the bottom is hand made by my sweet mom. I also squeezed in some of the Twinery's latest color - Flax. It goes great with the kraft paper.
Thank you for having a look - I hope you find some time to play today!
