♥ Dear to my Heart ♥ A Shabby Tea Room Challenge

This week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room is to use a heart as the focal point on your card/project. I decided to make a Valentine's card. Hey, at least I'll be ready for next year!! hehe And a BIG thank you to Debbie and her awesome DT for choosing me as your Week #9 Winner a couple of weeks ago! I really appreciated that! :) I ♥ the Shabby Tea Room! I used some paper by My Mind's Eye, from the Be Loved line. I also used a Maya Road chipboard heart and circle, Melissa Frances Rub-Ons, White Pearl Corsage Pin, Hero Arts Adhesive Red Heart, grosgrain ribbon and some Ultra Fine White Glitter. I'm sure by the time the week is over, I will make another card with this fun challenge! You know me likey my ♥♥♥♥♥'s!!

Now onto my Giveaway Winner! Sorry I am posting this so late. It takes quite awhile to print out all those names and cut them up!! My 4 yr old son chose the following name out of a large bowl!!

Congrats to........ Cyndi Jameson!!......You are my lucky winner of the Sizzix Big Shot machine and Dies!! If I don't hear from you by June 7th, I will have to pick a new winner.

I will be having a REALLY exciting giveaway again real soon, for my July Blogaversary! Want a hint?? Let's just say have you heard about the Cricut Cake? That's all I'm sayin'! ;) Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs.....


♥♥♥ETA: I'm sorry that I left this out! The hearts on the bottom were done by a Martha Stewart edge punch. Thanks for asking everyone and thanks for all the sweet comments! I really appreciate them all! ♥♥♥

    Great card!

    Congrats to Cyndi...I was so hoping to see my name up there as I want one of those sooo bad but just can't justify the cost right now..but I am sure she will create her heart out with it.

    And, a CRICUT? Are you kidding me? That is amazing!!!!
