Freshly Made Love

 Judy from Freshly Made Sketches has a great challenge this week:

Spellbinder background die layered over bright silver metallic (sooo hard to photograph).  The oval mirror sentiment has been in my stash for at least 10 years!  I make more love cards than Valentines, since they will be donated to Cards for Soldiers and general cards have a longer shelf life.  

Super simple, but I have the red and silver combination for this sketch:

Come play along with us at Send A Smile 4 Kids for our Love Challenge!

Valentine and Love Cards 4 Kids

Happy New Year!!  Time for a brand new monthly challenge here at Send a Smile 4 Kids! Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, the challenge is to create Valentine and Love Cards 4 Kids. These are cards that would be appropriate for a parent or hospital staff member to give to an inpatient child/tween/teen. However, ANY kid/teen/tween-appropriate card can be linked up for the monthly challenge and will be eligible for Top Three recognition.  Be sure to link up your creation on the SAS4Kids blog.  

Is this pup from Great Impressions adorable?  I fussy cut and paired him with an ancient piece of Boxer paper, and embossed it with a Darice Paw Prints folder.
