Color My Heart

Meets Atlantic Hearts

Sending a Valentine with my daughter's favorite colors: purple and blue.

Added a little green Sage for the leaves. Somehow,

 flowers without leaves just don't work.

Thanks for the color challenge at Color My Heart and the

fun sketch at Atlantic Hearts.

Just A Note

From My Heart

Sending a Note from your heart will make any heart happy.

I used the sketch below from Atlantic Hearts for the design and

the colors are some pinks with Glacier from the Color

Mix some pinks with a color of your choice for you own 

project to that someone special.

A Valentine From the Zoo

With Tic Tac Toe Colors

from Color My Heart

The Sweet Safari paper pack and the cute little zoo animals 

from times past make a fun valentine card. I "heart" you a ton 

from the happy elephant in the stamp set "It's A Zoo."

 I used the top row of the Tic Tac Toe

 color challenge from Color My Heart.

Something New

A Spinner Card

Heart 2 Heart invited us to try something new 

in the new year. So...I decided to give the new 

Spinner Thin a try. This thin cut set goes with 

2 stamp sets: Rainbow Wishes and I Chews You. 

I used the I Chews You stamp set to make this fun 

Valentine card. Now it's your turn to show us 

your new creation and share at Heart 2 Heart.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's Day to you. As we celebrate

It's Tool Time

At Heart 2 Heart

Add a little sparkle to your valentine cards with the new

Bashful Shimmer Brush. Easy to use and add that extra

sparkle. Just stamp and cut out your image then add

the sparkle with the shimmer brush.

I added the sparkle on the flower and the butterflies.

The colors on this card are brought to you by the colors

from Color My Heart Challenge 275

Be sure to check out the tools at Tool Time with Heart 2 Heart

and take the color challenge at Color My Heart.

Getting Ready for Valentines

With Color My Heart

Using Bashful CS for the base and Glacier CS for the insert I cut

two pieces for each end with a decorative border. Adding

the Bashful Glitter paper for the hearts and heart border 

adds sparkle for a treasured valentine card.

For a fun challenge come play at Color My Heart each week.

Valentine Treats

Easy Last Minute Treats

Fill a coke bottle with M & Ms and decorate the bottle with B&T paper 

and a glitter heart. Tie ribbon around the top and add a tag card.

Cut an Art Philosophy or Artiste box with White Daisy CS. Cut 

out a heart shaped window and cover the opening with an Overlay

of your choice. I used the polka dotted overlay. Fill the boxes

with your favorite Valentine candy treat.

Just Because

I Heart Charlotte

And Color My Heart and Atlantic Hearts

Treasured Puffies. So grab your Charlotte and share
