well, unusually for me I knew exactly what I wanted to make, to enter these challenges: SU! Only Challenges #challenge no 167, where yes, you got it -
It's time for Valentines, be it a card, a treat, a 3D item.Yes, the choice is yours.
Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge where XOXO is your prompt!
The Card concept where love and romance is the theme - and the overall colours and hearts inspired my own CAS style card.
So, armed with some suitable coloured card - and of course that just has to be Real Red in my book, combined with Shimmery White card stock, (my go to choice at the moment, for card bases) and an off-set topper .... yes I made a card...
and it came together so quickly.
The lovely die-cut heart and and 'love' from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, one of the sentiments from the Bloomin' Love stamp set, a bit of bling by way of Stampin' Up!'s Basic Rhinestones, a card base and an off-set topper of shimmery white card stock, and it was done.

well this weekend sees me off on a shopping spree to a really lovely place - Blake House Craft Centre. Described as 'Shops, food and fun for the whole family. It is a lovely unique collection and range of all sorts of shops. Everything from handmade jewellery and miniatures to fabric supplies, yarns and antiques, all found in the original farm buildings of what was once Blake House Farm, near Braintree.
and with a full range of workshops and classes, and a fabulous restaurant to indulge your self in - sounds like a lovely way to spend the day, am thinking.
so til next time - and what ever you get up to or wherever you find yourself, have a lovely weekend and happy crafting
