Sentimental Sundays #44 - Open

Welcome back for a new challenge with Sentimental Sundays.  This is challenge #44, and the theme this week is:  Open (with a sentiment!)

February Blast from the Past Blog Hop - Taylored Expressions

The theme for the Blast from the Past Blog Hop with Taylored Expressions is:  Going Green 

I chose to use the Celebrate Life stamp set, along with the sketch given to us as a starting point for our cards.  The buttons are some that I recently saved from some old shirts (the one in the center is just a bit different from the others), instead of using the color green.

Be sure to visit the other Blog Hop participants listed below, and have fun hopping!

This is week #141 on Flutter By Wednesday and with this new week comes a fun new challenge!  The challenge this week is:  Use 3 Hearts on your card/project

I'm using another sweet image from Squiggle Stamps, and her name is Fairy Wishes (from the Fenella and Friends Line). The image has been colored with Copics, and has Stickles added to her shoes, wand and crown.  Her wings are painted with Creative Inspirations paint.  The little heart and keys are a MS punch. I've also used some flowers on the heart background that are a mix of fabric flowers and the little felt flowers from the $1 bin at Michaels.  The brown and red stamped images are also from Michaels.  Another page closer to completing this mini album, but I'll have to pause again to finish up some Valentine Cards!
