Those who know me know that I am definitely not one of those type A personality people. You know the kind, tidy, specific and organised. My husband says I am messy, cluttered, disorganised and always pushing a deadline. I prefer to see it as being creative! Anyway, this year I decided that I am going to use the monthly challenges to get me ahead of the game when it comes to cards and layouts.
The February challenge, being the month of Valentine's Day is all about Love. Show your love by creating something -a card, layout, altered art etc. So the February challenge will help me at least sort out a Valentine's card and I may squeeze a layout in there too!
I have made a simple card using the new It's all about...Hearts set and Willing Race (one of my all time favourite alphabets!).
I stamped the small heart cluster across the middle of the card. Then using a separate piece of card, stamped the flourish heart which I popped on foam so that it would stand out. To finish, I stamped Love in the bottom corner.
Super simple yet very effective.
Now don't tell John what his Valentine's card looks like!
I also made a black and white version of the card, which would be great for a wedding card or invitation.
So please let us see your Love creations this month. You can leave a comment with a link, send us an email or you can post the image in our Flickr group (Banana Frog) or Facebook group (Banana Frog).
The closing date is the 23rd February. We will pick a winner, which will be posted on the 28th February, and they will get 2 sets of yummy Banana Frog stamps!
Have fun with the challenge!
Great card, Bev! Here's mine: http://marymacaskill.typepad.com/very_mary/2009/02/banana-frogs-february-challenge.html
