SEW Much Fun at Shelly's Images!

Today we have a FABULOUS New Release AND a New Challenge over at the Shelly's Images Blog!!

It's a SEWING challenge

You can use the real thing OR you can use some faux sewing - just have to include some SEWING!  

I had SEW MUCH FUN making this card - the image is SEW GORGEOUS, works fabulous in SEW MANY COLORS and these colors were a wee-bit out of my standard color scheme - 

AND - I got to break out the SEWING MACHINE!! =)

You can't really see the stitches in this photo because it's white thread, but I DIG IT!!!

Valentine's Day.....

ALL MONTH LONG around our house (or at least at my blog).

We have so many special kiddos that we send Heart Day cards to, I have to give everyone's card a day in the spotlight!

So, for today's Oldie But Goodie at Bugaboo, I had to share this Valentine Jar.  It's not a really OLD - Oldie, but it's got just the right amount of dust on it.  I just LOVE the jars like this that Jodie has created.  I'm hoping for another one for St. Patty's day (if I'm lucky of course)!  =)
