#HEARTS

Happy World Hearts Day!  I actually didn't even know that existed, but I saw it over at 613 Avenue Create and I wanted to participate.  I lost my grandmother to a heart attack and I'm very dedicated now to awareness and prevention.

The red heart is glittery but it doesn't fully show up in the photo.  The flower and heart center are shimmery, too.  I loooove glittery, shimmery cards I just wish they showed up better!!

I also picked that background paper and the color assortment 'cause I didn't want it to look too valentine-y.  Mission accomplished. :)

Skulls and Bling

Who says a skull can't be blingy?  When I was making this card I envisioned a flourishy blingy embellishment, so that's what I used.  I really like how it turned out.  This is my entry for the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge, where the theme is Effect Powders.  If you don't have a copy of COC3, you can get one here.

The challenge is sponsored this fortnight by Inspiration Emporium, which is a fabulous place to find all kind of Tim goodies!

I'm also excited cause I used a brand-new stamp set on this card. That's always fun!
