Hello my friends!
It's time for another challenge over on the Squigglefly Blog but before I share my card with you I just want to give a shout out to MY MOM!
It's her 84th birthday today and I can only pray I'm doing as well when I reach that age! She still 'works a job' (a couple actually) ... sings ... dances .... holds an elected office in her township, etc., etc., etc.
Happy Birthday Mom!!!
(l-r) My sister Linda, Mom & Me ... being silly!

Today's challenge at Squigglefly is:
HAVE A HEART!
I chose to create a front step card using my Cheery Lynn Designs die along with these fabulous images. Both images ... 'Ruffled Frame' and 'Cup with Hearts' are by Pamela Lehto. I simply brought my frame image into a blank word document then inserted the cup with hearts die in the center. Next came some coloring with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and a little fussy cutting.
I also printed/colored/cut another image of the hearts that are in the cup as an embellishment for the front corner of my card and another full cup colored image for the inside corner of my card.
A few additional challenges:
My Sheri Crafts - Use a digi
Just Us Girls - Photo Inspiration (hearts)
Simply Create Too - Valentine's Day or use hearts
Crafts and Me January Challenge - Hearts
I hope to make more FANCY FOLD cards such as this step card for this years crafting shows ... this is a start! LOL!
I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun and if you need inspiration please pop over to see what my team mates have created for you today ... WOW!
Enjoy your week ...
As always ...
