A few Valentines

I thought I'd share what I did yesterday afternoon with Meljen's latest freebie. First thanks so much Melissa. I love Charlie Brown and this Valentine tree is soooo cute. :)  I wanted the image to be the focal point so I embraced the white area. NOT an easy thing for me to do. I second and even third guessed myself before I adhered the image to the card front. I do like how it turned out though. :)
Enjoy and have a great day crafting or whatever you are up to.
3 have pink, 3 have red accents

hmm, not as clears as I'd like
Happy Crafting,
Shirley G

He is colored with Copics and Primsacolor markers. Not much do-dads on it, as it could be sent to a man. Just a star on the general's hat and some square brads in the corners. Now this guy was a lot of fun also. He also is colored with Copics and Primsacolor markers. Just two buttons for the "bling". I printed out the Honey-Do list on my comput...

Hi, It's been a couple days since I posted anything. Been busy with the holidays and family. Roy, my fiancee works away from home a month at a time, then is home for two weeks. So those two weeks, I am not as focused on my crafts as when he is working. But I did take time to make a card for the D2D challenge this week. I love the cup of Cocoa we got as a freebie for doing their progressive challenge last week. If you don't participate in the D2D challenges, you must. Great digi's, wonderful cards to inspire you. Check it out! The card design I got from Ladybug's blogspot. I need to refine mine, but for a first attempt I'm happy with it. I used the digi from D2D Paper is from The paper Studio I colored the digi with Copic and Zig markers This is the outside/front view This is an opened/inside view. The white area is for a personal message
