It seems like my mind is turning to Valentine's Day cards even though the new year hasn't even arrived yet! I wonder what that is all about? All I know is that when inspiration strikes, it's best just to go with it!
Today's card was created when one such wave of inspiration hit me last week!
I used a piece of leftover embossed cardstock from another project and added a simple red, punched heart. I stamped a very simple sentiment and added two tiny red gemstones (just because I have a thing for gemstones). After looking at the card for a moment, I decided to round one of the lower corners before calling it good!
I hope you had a great weekend! We had a very lazy one for a change. On Saturday, DH took DS1 to look at and purchase a used mountain bike. This one has gears, so I'm figuring they are getting a bit more serious about the whole mountain biking thing. I just haven't quite figured out the "mountain" part yet. This is the Midwest we're talking about!

I love how uberCAS this is, Melissa. So crisp and that heart just throbs off the page. (Moan, I can't help myself!) I grew up in Iowa and as I was reading the part about the mountain bike, I thought the same thing, "I wonder where she lives in the Midwest where there are mountains to ride?!" LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove it! and love the use of the scraps!
ReplyDeleteI need a wave of inspiration to hit me too now! This is GORGEOUS!!! Love everything about it!
