WWC 310 - MARSHA'S CHALLENGE: ALL ABOUT OCCASIONS

 HELLO AGAIN!

My card uses two techniques:-   Using blends on Black and White dsp (True Love), and the Love it - Chop it technique.

  


First I colored my black and white dsp with various blends.  Then using the Love it - Chop it technique completed my card.   There was enough dsp to make 2 cards.  I am entering this one into the "All about Occasions Challenge this week.

WWC 307 - HEIDI'S CHALLENGE: ANYTHING GOES WITH A FEMININE TWIST

 Hi Everyone!

February is such a blah month - still cold and rainy here!    We had a sunny day on Tuesday and it was a good opportunity to take the Christmas lights down on our patio.    I had a surprise when looking at my plants to see how they were doing.   Have a look -

I kept these Primroses over, but never expected to see them survive.    How cheery they are and hopefully it will be Spring soon.


My card this week is for Valentine's Day.
