Love Ya Lots

I have to get busy and make some Valentines really soon or I won't have enough to send out to my list. So thinking along those lines I have a Valentine for you today.

The adorable little hedge hogs are from Gerda Steiner called Hedgehog Smooches. This is the stamp of the month for the progressive challenge. I wish I had colored them a bit differently. When I colored them I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do with them. I used the Tuesday Morning sketch for inspiration.

The sentiment is from a retired Gina K set called Heartily Yours Additions and stamped with Simon Says Lipstick Red ink.. The image is colored with Copic and Bic markers and die cut with Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitch Rectangles. I used gray pieces of scrap as backing and gray and white Doodle Twine. To embellish I took a red Bic pen to place dots around the gray card stock, in the corners of the die cut and in some of the white hearts on the background designer paper.

I am entering these challenges:

• Gerda Steiner Progressive challenge: use Hedgehog Smooches
• Tuesday Morning Sketches: use the sketch (above)
• Simon Says Wednesday challenge: anything goes
• C.R.A.F.T. challenge: love/valentine/anniversary
• Penny's Paper-Crafty challenge: anything goes

That's it for me today! Tomorrow I help to unload semis of Girl Scout cookies and give them to leaders for delivery and then the twins in the evening so not much crafty time this weekend. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
