I always have such good intentions about entering several different challenges and then end up not entering any. Yesterday I needed a card for a friend and decided it was time to do a CAS-ual Friday challenge. For this challenge we were to use scallops on our card. Here's my take on the challenge:
As I did with my last card, I used sticky back canvas for the main image. I'm not sure you can tell but I pulled a couple of the threads around the canvas to add a little fringe.
I'm waiting for an order from MFT - a couple Pure Innocence sets. I want to get started on my Valentine cards.
My friend, Bonnie, had a link on her site this morning to a new challenge that I'm going to try to join. It's called Merry Monday Challenge - you make a Christmas card every week. I probably won't make one every week but hopefully this will inspire me to make more than I did last year. How about joining me?
Finally, you have until tomorrow morning to enter to win Marianne Walker's book called Shadows and Shading. You can see details on this post. Please note that you need to leave a comment telling me how you celebrate Valentine's Day.
Thank you for visiting and for all of your encouraging comments. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Blessing from Yesterday: A warm home and wool socks.

that's such a pretty card. I'm sure it will bring a smile to your friend! Is that a Jennifer McGuire technique with the canvas? I have it on my to-try list but haven't gotten around to it yet!
