2 cards for today!!

One of the things that I've challenged myself to do this year is to make more cards without coloring {gasp}. Since I had my latest SU stamps from my last order at the stamp club I'm in (it was my hostess month!!) sitting on my table I thought I'd start today on that challenge.

I tell you what, my hat is off to those of you who create these type of cards often. I struggled and struggled and struggled with this!! I think it took me twice as long to create this simple card as it does when I color an image and put a card together! I do think it turned out well though and will continue to challenge myself.

Since I liked how this looked so much I decided to do another one almost the same~~ just with a colored image. I've always loved seeing the same stamps used on different cards to see the fun possibilities!

I admit that I really liked how this one turned out too! It was really fun to create these cards today. Looking forward to one more day off tomorrow to hopefully get a few more crafty things in!!

Happy Valentine's Day to you all and hope that whether you have a Valentine or not that it's a day full of love and happiness for you!!

If all else fails, add pink, sparkle and a butterfly!
