I don't do Valentine's.  So to accommodate me, our challenge at Sweet Stampin' this week has an extended theme!  We want to see Valentine's or Love themed creations.  Okay, so it's not all for my benefit.  There might be some single folk playing along or just unromantic souls like me!

There's just a little bit of stamping on the vellum here, I cased this from the Sizzix blog.  There was a gorgeous sky blue & yellow version on there & if I could find it again, i'd link.  It was pretty. Playing along with some lovely challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - V for Vellum
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes (optional - Something New.  All old for me i'm afraid but I made it with my new Big Shot!)
Southern Girls - Circle Embellishments TOP 3!

Hope you have a great weekend, nothing special in store for me.  I've a lasagne to make as well as a cake to bake.  After that, i'm in my craft room ;-)

Smashing card Abi. I don’t do Valentine either. But the one plus side is that we get to use lovely vibrant colours. Judy x

Clever use of a circle! Thanks for joining us at Southern Girls Challenge

Hehe, my hubby is SO anti-Valentine's, he wrote me a song about it! Hehehe. You gotta laugh or you'd cry! But I think the little expressions of love the whole year through, mean much more than a token gesture on Valentine's Day, so I don't complain (much). Love your card hun, the frame is gorgeous and the vellum is fab. Hugs, Wends xoxo

Hi Abi

Trying hard to catch up on all my commenting by doing a little each day before my day starts proper. It is taking a bit of doing but I am determined to get there.


Your romantic card is lovely, great use of that gorgeous background die.
