Just Us Girls Challenge #713 - Word Week - LOVE - Things I Love About You... (CZ Design Noted Heart)

Hello

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #713.  With Valentine's/Galentine's Day coming up soon, our wonderful hostess, Elizabeth, has chosen LOVE as this week's word inspiration. Love covers a multitude of occasions; please ensure that the word features in your design.

We're delighted to have Denise Morgans joining us as our February Guest Designer.

I'm smitten with the CZ Design's Noted Heart, part of the Simon Says Stamps Smitten release. I made a few cards with this set and actually did something I rarely do: heat embossed. Not something I like doing, but in this case, I'm pleases with the results (despite several mess-ups along the way). The highlight of this stamp, for me, is the variety of sentiments that can be placed on the heart. A few were tricky to get straight but hey, home-made with LOVE beats perfection any time, right? 

This one is for my sweet niece


and this, for my fabulous nephew.


Looking forward to a whole lot of LOVE in the gallery!

  6. I was just contemplating purchasing this set, and you have just made the decision for me, Carol. I LOVE both of your makes with it, and what a wonderful bunch of things to say to someone special. The rainbow was a great idea for your nephew. Those two kids are so lucky to have you and vice cersa. I have "known" you for a long time, and I always enjoy the special things you make and do for them. Love, Love, Love...
