...Crazy 4 My Valentine (C4C23)

Happy Saturday! It's time for another "crazy" challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog, and this month Robin Willis will be issuing some wonderful challenges to play along with. This week you're asked to create a Valentine card or project for that special someone in your life. I chose to use this sweet "Puppy and Kitten" image from Penny Johnson's collection from Stampavie, and watercolored them with ink pads and an Aquapainter. The sentiment was from C.C. Designs' set "Valentine Critters", and was punched out with the Circle Punches. I added a splash of color by using some patterned papers from the Love Me Do patterned paper collection from My Mind's Eye.

Now let's see what the rest of the design team have created for you to peruse:

• Barbara Anders
• Cindy Haffner
• Frances Byrne
• Jessica Diedrich
• Jessie Rone
• Joanne Grzelak
• Joycelyn Turner
• Lori Boyd
• Lynda Benden
• Robin Willis
• Vicki Garrett

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by to see me today. Now it's your turn to create a SPECIAL VALENTINE card or project, and share it with us. Be sure to add your creation to Mister Linky back at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog post...we can't wait to see what you come up with! Until later...

...Flutter By Wednesday #95

On my recent trip to All That Scraps, I found a proverbial gold mine in the Stampavie area! They have an artist by the name of Penny Johnson who creates some of the sweetest images you've ever seen! As soon as I saw her "Butterfly Bear" stamp I knew I wanted to use it for one of the Flutter By Wednesday Challenges, so I chose today's challenge. I stamped and embossed the image before watercoloring it with an Aquapainter and Ink Pad Refills. I used strips of patterned paper from the Pretty Please collection from My Mind's Eye, and kept the layout really simple. So...do you like it as much as I do?

That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you back here tomorrow with another project. Until then...
