WoWzA, bright, huh?!? Don't stare at this too long ... I wouldn't want you to go blind or anything. If you want ... just for a second ... you can clicky on the photo for a ginormous view.
Today's card project was inspired by The Cat's Pajama's blog challenge to use the colors teal, pumpkin, and olive. I knew goin' in that I wouldn't finish this project in time to enter the challenge, but I was intrigued by the color combination. So, tell me, when's the last time you saw a Valentine in these colors? Never ... see, I knew you were gonna say that!
I gave the MS Doily Lace border punch a work-out creating these borders ... but what's a Valentine without paper doilies? For all the gory details, check out my Supply List, below.
So, this weekend I discovered that Sheila has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped.
She keeps it in the trunk.
Seriously!

I am going to try my damndest to make this card!!! It would be the perfect Valentine for my brother!! He is a diehard Miami Dolphin fan (has been since he was five), and these colors match perfectly!!! Of course, I would use a different sentiment for the front of the card, but the rest is right on the money!!! I feel a CASEing coming on for sure:o) Hope you don't mind. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
Big, happy {{{HUGS}}}!
