February Valentine's gone Christmas Challenge.......

With February being the month for Valentine's I thought it would make a nice challenge for Christmas. So ladies, get out your PINK, RED and WHITE papers....and let's see a Christmas Cards come of it.

I'd also like to see you throw in a heart or two :)

Here is one I made, adding a little heart gem in the center of one of the snowflakes.



Here are the cards the Design Team came up with. It was nice to see all the hearts :)

Denise cut out hearts and turned the upside down to make this awesome Christmas Tree for her card.Alecia

Oh boy- just checked the site for Feb. challenge. I love pink and red together- I have every since I was a kid- I need to call my daughter and tell her as we are planing on doing this every month. Will be so nice to have our cards done next year when Christmas arrives. Am going to a crop Sat. and this is something I am taking to work on. Thanks for the neat challenges.

Okay, this one might be a challenge for me as I kind of have an aversion to red, pink, white and hearts (long story), but I will definitely give it a shot.

I finished my 5 cards for Christmas. I thought it would be difficult using red, white & pink on christmas cards but I must admit I am pleased with all the cards I made.

OK I am excited I have 5 cards done, this is so great I have 14 cards done already for next christmas, yea. You might wonder on my cards where the heart is it is the punch used on the tags that are on the cards, I did have a bit of a problem with the heart thing and christmas, but I think I did alright, I'd love for you to check it out on my blog http://fabricpaperstampsohmy.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the fun
