High Hopes Challenge 15 - Hearts!


Today we have a great challenge for you at the High Hopes blog and Janette is asking us to make a card or project incorporating hearts somewhere. A perfect challenge to make your loved one a Valentines card! Don't forget that each week if you join our challenge you have a chance of winning a yummy High Hopes stamp and sentiment!

I've kept my card very simple this week and had fun playing with my nestabilites. As you can see I haven't gone for traditional valentines colours as I was influenced by these bright wooden hearts which I found in Hobby Craft.

Don't you just love Kissy Face Frog puckering up ready and waiting for her smacker! I just love the fun "Not a Geek" sentiment which I've stamped on the inside.

Have a great Sunday!
