My little piece of Paradise

Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I'm new to blogging, only started at the beginning of January 2014. In that time I have had a lot of fun participating in various challenges and have been inspired by so many of you. I'm new to card making but enjoy it so much. I've been a scrapbooker for many years and card making seemed like the next logical step:)
I hope you enjoy your visit and feel free to leave me a comment or follow my blog. HUGZ :)

Be Mine

Hope everyone is having a great day :)
Today I will be working on my next card for my GDT spot at Crafty Catz which will be posting a new challenge on Friday.  Then I'll be working on my next DT card for Crafting From The Heart which will be posting a new challenge next Monday, so stop on by and check both of them out :)

It's been a quiet week for me, just how I like it lol.... I love my alone time when the kids are in school :)

Today I have a card that I was asked to make by a friend for his girlfriend.  I've been using so much red and black lately in my valentine cards that I decided to change it up.  I wanted the "spring feel" since it's just around the corner...or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part lol....all I know is this snow has got to go!!
I coloured this image with my prisma pencils, blending with colour and a colourless blender (since I've given up gamsol).  I used my silhouette for my die cuts and this is what I've come up with...hope she likes it :)
