Be My Valentine

Good Morning.

I hope you've had a lovely weekend.

Today's card is my entry into House Mouse & Friends Challenge Number 88 which is all about hearts. Full details of the challenge can be found here

I decided to use a gruffies image for this card, made with decoupage from Joanna Sheen. Let's face it, it must be love to push someone around in a wheelbarrow!!


The base card is a lovely white textured cardstock from Papermill. The hearts border was made using silver mirri board, which I embossed using the Glitter Girls Borderfold Embossing board, and then cut the inner hearts out of vellum. The sentiment is computer generated and matted onto a banner cut from silver mirror board using a spellbinders die. The decoupage is from Joanna Sheen. I felt it was lacking something, so added the narrow ribbon, which was from my crafty stash.

I do love making cards using any of the housemouse range, they always make me smile.

My stash diet is feeling more threatened today as I learnt that more SWALK stamps are being released very soon. It's good to know that Anne (Stargroves) is dieting at the same time, that knowledge may very well keep me on track :0)

Well, it's still blowing a gale here today, and there are some very big black clouds overhead, hopefully the wind will blow them away again.

Have a lovely day.

Lovely card. It gave me a giggle as there is a story handed down through the generations of my husband's great grandfather who used to get a little tiddly - and his sons were often sent to the pub to wheel him home! :-) He is know in the family as Thomas the Barrow - rofl!
