OWH ODBD November Challenge - Hearts

Since the Valentine's Day card deadline come right after Christmas, it is good to get a head start on all of the needed "Love" cards.  Our Daily Bread Designs has challenged us to made a card with at least one heart.  If you visit my blog regularly, you know I believe that how a card feels can be as important as how it looks.   Here is my effort:

Swiss Dots and Scrolls embossing folders, Sizzix die cut heart popped up, white Neena paper, stash satin ribbon and jewels on a dark red card base. 

Be sure to join the Words2ScrapBy.blogspot.com November Gratitude challenge: 

You cannot do a kindness too soon because

you never know how soon it will be too late.

OWH Mid-MONTH Throw Down

I am having a bit of withdrawal.  I am use to trying to do OWH challenges twice a week.  Due to the (FANTASTIC) military draw down in the Middle East, OWH challenges are drawing down, too. 

The OWH challenge is to make a card expressing "Gratitude".   Here is my Any Hero card:

Paper Inspiration image, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Spellbinders die cuts, CTMH Moonstruck ink.
