Good Morning!!
I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. I'm officially coming down from an overdose of chocolate and Girl Scout Cookies. Lucky me - the cookies came in Sunday night and I have boxes & boxes covering my family room floor. If anyone needs any I can hook you up! DD is trying to break her record sales from last year. I've already purchased 10 boxes!
In addition to the GS cookies there was still plenty of love in the air too. I couldn't resist sharing another *love* themed card with you. I just *heart* this penguin from the new Got Love set from The Cat's Pajama's.
I had so much fun creating this card. It kept evolving as I was making it. Just like the bottom piece. That's not a new border punch I used to get these big hearts. It was a complete accident! The top part of the "hearts" was created using my SU! scallop border stamp. That was my intended use for the strip. Then I changed my mind and was going to use my heart border die from Taylored Expressions. I used the scrap of paper I used for the scalloped border. After I cut out my heart border I was left with this scrap! It was a pleasant accident that happened to also look like larger hearts!!!
Here's a close up of my spica glittered hearts. They look much prettier in real life.
Well peeps I hope you like today's card and my "accident". LOL! Speaking of like. I will admit to everyone that I did have Bieber fever this weekend after seeing the Justin Bieber movie with DD. Just as I suspected, I learned a lot about him and his very fast rise to fame. He's one talented young man.
Hope you have a wonderful day!!
