Hearts and Love

We got more snow today. It's been years since we've had this much snow in Bloomington. We usually had one or two storms during winter that would quickly melt away. But the last few weeks have been snow every other day. I like snow. I'd much rather have snow than ice, which we usually get more often than snow. It's been beautiful outside but it just seems strange. As the week progresses we are supposed to get to below zero temperatures. That is definitely not my favorite weather. This evening I got a chance to work with one of the images from a progressive challenge.

This is the progressive challenge image from The Outlawz; this month we are sponsored by All Dressed Up. The image is called Piggy Back. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and die cut with Gina Marie Designs Wonky Stitched Ovals. I inked the edge of the die cut with Victorian Velvet distress ink. The stripes are some washi tape from Freckled Fawn that I've had for quite some time and hadn't used. I really liked the hearts with the arrows. I wish more of the hearts hadn't fallen under the image. So I added the three pearl sticker hearts for more hearts. The sentiment in the bottom right corner is from My Favorite Things Sweet Celebrations. The designer paper is from my scrap box. The little balls on the hats are covered with Worn Lipstick Stickles for a little sparkle.  I am entering these challenges:

• The Outlawz Progressive challenge: use Piggy Back from All Dressed Up
• Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch 
  
• Lil Patch of Crafty Friends: anything goes
• Cupcake Inspiration challenge: for those you love
• Pattie's Creations challenge: love, love, love

My eye surgery went fine but it took forever this time. I think I was there almost half the day. So next Wednesday I'll see the retina specialist. Tomorrow is our volunteer day. If we don't get more snow over night we'll be busy. Temperatures are supposed to start dropping. Thanks for stopping by to see my card today. Stay safe! Peace and All Good!
