Love Is The Thread That Binds Us Together

Hello my sweets.  Have you had a good week so far?  Well, my son has had the whole week off from school because of the little amount of snow we got overnight Sunday.  I guess there are no plows to plow the roads so we just have to wait for it to melt.  We did have a very sunny day today and it melted a good bit of the snow, but it is going to be 11 degrees F tonight and what melted will be frozen ice in the morning.  Sooo...I stayed in, made some Cranberry Orange muffins and had a big cup of coffee with my son and we watched Martha Stewart.  hehe  Then I decided to make a pretty card that can definitely pass for a Valentines card if I want.
 Remember my post on Saturday where I told you that you would be seeing more of my "old stuff"?  Well, I pulled out my Just Rite set that I only used one time.  I love this set and I am just blown away that I only used it once.  I am not doing this anymore.  If money grew on trees I suppose I wouldn't mind.  I am a great gardener ya know.  Too bad they don't make money trees.
 I saw a few girls use this sketch and loved the whole layout of it.  So I got out my oh so pretty and soft toned Basic Grey Capella paper and my Just Rite Stitched with Love set and went to town.  What do you think?   Like it?
 Here is the fabulous sketch that Karen has for you over at Sweet Sunday.  You have until 10 pm Friday Mountain time if you make to make a card for this sketch.  So hop to girls!!  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather

    Your soft and chio colors are always amazing. The papers you've used turned this sketch into a elegant and gorgeous card. Those floral papers are stunning and I that bow is the perfect finishing touch. Fabulous :)!!

    Beautiful - I love that stamp and I know what you mean about using something once and back on the shelf it goes...I'm guilty! :) I just thought about that last night and I decided to make a card a day (well maybe a week) using my PTI stamps - we'll see! teehee

    Oooo, a beautiful Heather-styled card! Love it!! So pretty!

    11 degrees! My goodness, that's way too cold! We've had three "big" snows (3") that stayed for over a a week each. That's so unusual here. It's been fun, as long as we can be mobile.

    Stay safe, warm and creative!

    HUGGS!
