Armful of hearts

(If you missed my TSG post for today, please click here.  I'm the Trendsetter of the Week!)

     Oh yeah!  I found some play time!  I found some play time!  LOL  No, I haven't gone over the edge---yet, but I did have a blast for the last two days creating this card, JUST FOR FUN!  My friend Dawn was commenting on her post yesterday about how fun it is to just create with no pressure, no deadline, just whenever and whatever.  That's how this card was born.  I may have gone a bit crazy with the embellies, but I think my crafty self was calling for all the bells and whistle after all the cleaner style cards I've been making.  It was nice to find out I hadn't forgotten how to do something more elaborate. LOL
     I've been on a bit of a spending streak lately--OUCH!--and have a huge new stash of Uptown Girls to play with.  This one is Lucille.  She's colored with Copics and lives on the most blinged out card I've made in a long time.  Photo corners, butterflies, V-day flowers, lots of pearls, and do you see those deco corners?  Aren't they fabulous!
     This is going to be my daughter Valentine's Day card.  For all my praying friends please keep her fiance on your hearts.  As I type this he's in surgery to repair an injury on his leg that he got in a motorcycle accident several months ago.
     I want to thank all of you who have sent me happy wishes to feel better.  I am feeling a lot more like my old self and after taking a week off of heavy computer time (I didn't enter any challenges for a whole week!  GASP!  LOL) I managed to find a ton of challenges this card will fit in.  A special HELLO to the City Crafter girls since I haven't gotten to play there in FOREVER!
