Valentine for You

      One of my favorite Progressive Challenges is at LeAnn's World and this month we're using this adorable "Susie" image.  Doesn't she make a perfect Valentine?  I took inspiration from her heart shaped pockets.  

     I'm still following the "challenge-yourself" idea being promoted by my blogging buddy, V.  It's called "Just Stash January" and it involves using nothing but things already in your stash throughout the entire month of January!  There are a few reasonable exceptions (all of which mean that no money has come out of your pocket) and you can read about those on her post.  Just click on the link above to find out all about it, then start counting those coins and bills you'll be 'stashing' in your pocket this month instead of crying about even more charges on the credit cards after the holiday season. 


Colored w ProMarkers & gel pens
Cut w Unbranded die
Metallic ribbon
Red signature bow w pearl, hand sewn
Sentiment cut w QuicKutz die

     Challenges:
Color Dare (Color = Red/ Metallic = ribbon/ Neutral = hair)

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Lovely card NanaConnie. I like that this image can be for Valentines by taking inspiration from her pockets as you did. But it could also be for many other occasions too.
