Challenge Fun!

It feels SO GOOD to be back playing the challenges!
Today I scoped out some of challenge over on Feline Playful that caught my eye and this is what I came up with.

The SKETCH comes from the challenge over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday.  Other elements of this card came from the following challenges:
Joan's Gardens - use hearts, red/pink & white, embossing, embellishment
Perfect Sentiment - Valentine Sentiment & Vellum
Color Create - Red, Cream, Sage Green
The Paper Shelter - Anything Goes
Bearly-Mine - Anything Goes
Crafty Sentiment - Love & Romance
My Time to Craft Challenge - XOXO Hugs & Kisses

Well, now that I've had some challenge fun, guess I should go do a little work around the house! LOL!
Laundry is starting to pile up and I promised hubby stuffed peppers for dinner!
Better get busy!

** EDIT **    My work is done and I have a few minutes and decided to create a second card for Joan's challenge.  (It just felt good to create today ... guess the mojo is fired up for 2012...LOL)

 Now I can relax with hubby for an evening of TV and conversation! 
Hugs,
Darlene
