A heart of love

     Hearts, hearts!  We want to see hearts this week at Papercraft Star.  LOL  We kind of posted this weeks challenge a day early by accident so we're going to go ahead and post our DT cards early too.  The link won't open until regular time tomorrow.
     For my card I've used a freebie digi image by Karen MacfarlaneI got a while back from Cuddly Buddly.  The blanket stitching on the image inspired me to go for a quilted look for the card.  Lots of machine stitching and lots distressing on the edges for the well loved quilt look.  :-)  The image is done in Copics.
     This week we are adding a brand new member to our little Papercraft Star family, the incredibly talented Sylvia Nelson.  I hope you'll check out all the DT cards posted on the PCS blog this week and pop over to Sylvia's blog to see why we scooped her up.  :-)
     Our sweet Anitra is showcasing an image from our sponsor, The House Across the Bay this week so make sure you check that out too.  Her Valentine tree is amazing!
     6:00 a.m. Monday is the deadline for our Inlinkz and EVERYBODY is making Valentines so I hope to see some of you linked up for the challenge this week.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Craft Room Challenge--cute and cuddly
