This Valentine is for my 92-year old, spry Mom...an avid cardmaker as well! I pulled out some of my very favorite leftover papers, stamps, and tools purchased from the Stampin' Up in 2015 that have been gathering dust for the last three years! This Happy Heart EF was one of Mom's favorites!
My focus in making this Valentine was to catch up on another of the Alphabet Challenges, but I found if I used polka dots and patterns, it would fit the Teapot Tuesday challenge, and with hearts the new WT challenge, plus repeated another. See the challenge list below.
#1 -Alphabet Challenge, Round 8 - DD8ABC18R - 12/13/17 - Letter R/ Double I = ink...use ink in any way desired. My card: R = Rhinestones/ Double - I = Ink...Memento Tuxedo Black ink for sentiment stamping.
#2 Free for All Challenge - F4A414 - 1/26/18..."All the Love"...make a card for someone you love to show how they brighten your day. You can add hearts or incorporate the work "love" to make it even more "love"ly! My card is for my 92-year old mom.
#3 - Ways to Use It Challenge - WT674 - 2/8/18 - "Whatever Suits You"...create a card using suits...heart or diamonds or spades or club or images that represent them! Mine is a heart card for my 92-year old mom.
