I had two Hearts/Valentines card this weekend and like an idiot I posted the wrong one first -  the one I intended to use for Simon Says Stamp challenge is HERE  - fortunatelly they did  both work together!!!

I used Magnolia's Tilda with Many Hearts and showered her with Simon Says Stamp Heart Rainfall, Heart Bloom & Large Holiday Shapes - I have cut houndreds of small hearts - they are all over the house, even the cat has hearts stuck in his fur - I don't think he cares!!!

I used a little Cupid  from Besotted Post it Love stamps and heat embossed it.

This I intended to use for the inside of the card - I changed my mine and make it as a card on it's own - below.

Di's BIO:  {I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue! }

My MoJo is well and truly lost - it is taking me to forever to put a cord together and when I so it's rubbish!!!

Mo Manning's little Sailor Bloy

I've just managed an image I coloured whilst I was in the UK - it is one of Mo's deligntful Sailor boys and the Sailor boy dog. Obviously I don't take my Copics on holiday so I used them with Prisma Colors.

I used Neenah Smooth Desert Storm cardstock and Bazzill Blush Red and Jelly Bean, The papers are K&Co Blue Awning.

The border is Spellbinders Curved Corners and I used Simon Says Party Banners

I finished it off with a voile ribbon and some beads attached to a charm.

Mo's challenge:   Get Spotty

Oh boy it's cold today - the temperature has been -16 this week and it is now -3 but it feels so much colder I can't get warm today. I have so many clothes on I look about 10ton and can hardly move!!! I think I should have been born in the equator.
