Crafting for all Seasons #70 "Show us Some Romance"

Good morning all.
Gosh it's chilly, although we have had a nice couple of dry days.

Gary appears to be enjoying his Wwoofing (unpaid work in exchange for bed and board). So far he's sorted out sheep's wool and levelled land!

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Show us Some Romance". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Meljens who gave the DT images to work with.
 Hubby's gonna get a new Valentine card this year lol!!


I've used Little Art Mouse and XOXO Stitches coloured with promarkers and highlighted with a gelly roll pen. Dies are from Spellbinders. Embossing folder from Cuttlebug and ribbons from my stash.


Fabulous Sponsor 2014


Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the girls inspiration, you won't be disappointed.

Challenges entered:
Cuttlebug Mania - red
Fan-Tastic Tuesday - anything goes
Cheerful Stamp Pad - love/valentine
Craft-Dee Bowz - anything goes
Crafting from the Heart - anything goes/use red
Craft your Passion - love is in the air
Lexi's Creations - valentine/love
OLLCB - use a heart
The Crazy Challenge - love is in the air
Dream Valley Challenges - no designer paper
That Craft Place - valentine
The Crafting Cafe - embossing
Meljen's - time's up 
(it probably took the full 30 minutes but this card came together without a battle and didn't require much matching up of colours....plus I was making dinner at the same time!)

    This is a fabulous card Carol, I love the embossed background and your adorable image.
    If Gary would like to pop round to my place when he gets back I can find some jobs for him to do in exchange for bed and board - I've got three men in the house and nothing ever gets done!

    Gorgeous! That's the sweetest little image. You gave me a good idea, I should take out last years Valentine to give to hubby this year, he wouldn't notice and if he did I would sound most indignant and tell him that he never remembers anything and that of course its new!!! Thanks for explaining Wwoofing! Michelle x
