From The Heart

This week at Tuesday Throwdown, we are creating "from the heart." Our challenge is to use hearts on your project. With Valentine's Day coming up in just a couple weeks, this is a great chance to make a card or two for your loved ones. Or, like me, you could go a totally different direction with your project.

For my card, I used a darling digi called "Mousey Thank You So Much" to make a thank you card. It's been a busy few weeks since Christmas, and I'm still working on getting those thank you cards out! This image was provided by our newest sponsor, Dearie Dolls. Please be sure to stop by and check out their store. (If you like cuties like I like cuties, you'll be in heaven just looking around over there!) The papers are, as always, from my scraps stash. As much as I love paper, until I make a serious dent in my stash, I'm not allowed to buy anymore -- LOL! For the heart element of the challenge, I added two heart buttons, threaded with a little black embroidery thread, and of course the heart in the image itself. The greeting is by The Greeting Farm.

A funny little note about this card. The layout is an old one from Sketchbook Saturday. I didn't discover until after I used it that not only wasn't it this week's sketch, it was 3 months old. Guess it's a little late to submit it for that challenge, huh? ;-)
