A new Holiday...

If you love someone, put their name in a circle; because hearts can be broken, but circles never end. -Anonymous

Oh, I Love Christmas...I really do, but I am SO glad to put away my Christmas "Inspiration Station" and pull out something new!!! So glad in fact that I pulled out everything pink, Red or heart shaped in my craft room and made a Valentine "Inspiration Station!!!" Most of you will wonder why that is such a big deal, but those that know me well, know that I am NOT a Valentine's Day kinda girl! I have been single WAY too long to get all mushy and sweet around hearts and cupids.

All that Love is in the Air crap has rubbed off on my apparently, because tonight I sat down and created a Valentine's Day card with a HEART on it...without anyone putting a heat gun to my head!!! :)

I used Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red and Baja Breeze for this week's Blogger's Challenge. The heart is from the Inka Hearts Set, I stamped it in Ruby Red, then ran my Lipstick Red Liquid Chalk Ink Pad around the edge to give it some depth...the swirls in the background are from memory Box...and Dew Drops...did you SEE the number of Dew Drops I put on this baby????

Supplies:
Stamps: Hearts (Inkadinkado,) Swish Border (Memroy Box)
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red, Baja Breeze (SU)
Ink: Cat's Eye Queue, Ruby Red (SU)
Misc: Clear Dew Drops, Saddle Stitch Ribbon, Circle Nesties

Thanks for stopping by!!
