Happy Valentine's Day - TPE184

Happy Tuesday - we're almost half way to the weekend and Superbowl Sunday! :)  Any big plans for the weekend?  We are having my in-laws over on Sunday for the big game.  I haven't even planned my menu yet!  Any idea's?

This card was created based off of this week's theme at The Pink Elephant - hearts! :)  I just love to create with hearts - and not just Valentine's Day.

DP's from Crate Paper, cardstock, diecuts, button, twine and stamps from PTI, misc. felt and paper doily.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card!  Enjoy the rest of your week!  Cathy xxx :)

Just a quick post and run - I'm off to a running start this morning!

Happy First Birthday - RS48

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!!  Well, if the weatherman is correct, we are in for a major ice storm today!  So, I have been to the grocery store already this morning and now I am hiding out.  No use going anywhere if you don't have to! :)

I decided to try my hand again with a CAS card today.  I decided to play along with Retro Sketches for the first time - yes, a newbie! :)

Misc. cardstock, diecut, stamps, twine and button from PTI, misc. ribbon and washi tape.

With all My Heart - MOJO277

Happy Saturday!  I hope the weather is holding up where ever you are.  We are supposed to get an ice storm tomorrow with an inch of ice predicted.  I have my fingers crossed that this won't happen.  I don't want to lose electricity! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at MOJO Monday.  I thought this sketch called out for a more CAS card - so this is what I came up with.
