Flowers for Valentine

I haven't entered any challenges lately. Made this card the other night and am entering it into 2 challenges. The first is The Secret Crafter Saturday challenge to use monochrome colors: 1 color plus white (I hope the tiny bit of pink is ok). The 2nd one is at Cupcake Craft challenge which was red & white.

Sunday Brunch photos Feb 7, 2010

Hello everyone! Well last Sunday (Feb7) hubby and I went to brunch with my son Mark, his girlfriend Rachel, their kids and my older son Matt. We were celebrating Marks' 31st birthday. Mark and Rachel had wonderful news for us! They are engaged to be married in 2012! What a wonderful surprise.

baby Madison loved her Valentine card I made for her.

here's Madison sucking on a creamer, LOL!!

after brunch while we were outside, Madison took a little fall, which didn't phase her in the least, but sure did a number on her pretty white coat, LOL!! She loves to be outside and just loves puddles.

blue hearts, glitz and glammer

Here's a couple more Valentine's. I think I'm about ready to stop making Valentines although tomorrow morning we're having brunch with my son and his family so I've printed off some Valentines for the children to color while we have our brunch. Anyways I'm entering this one into a sketch challenge at Inspirational Card Sketches.

Here's one I made for a group I belong to. We were to have glitz and glammer, so this is what I came up with.

for my granddaughter

I think this card turned out so sweet! It's for my granddaugther, Madison who is almost 16 months. The darling giraffe is a free digi stamp that I got from Paper Cupcakes. Nina over at Paper Cupcakes has a new challenge as well as a free digi every Monday, so please stop by and visit her blog, thanks!

4 challenges

I think this is one of my favorite cards so far. I used my cricut to cut the LOVE as well as the little heart. The black and white backing is flock, nice and soft. So I'm going to enter this into 4 challenges! That's a first for me, LOL! Here are the challenges:
Papertake Weekly for "Love Actually" a mushy card
C.RA.F.T. Challenge for "Valentines or Love"
Paperplay Challenges for "Love Notes"
Charisma Cardz for "I Love You"

2 in 1 challenge card

this card is going into 2 challenges. The first is A Spoon Full of Sugar for their sketch challenge and the 2nd is Cute Card Thursday their spots and dots challenge. I must give credit for this darling free digi stamp to Paper Cupcake. thanks!
