Whew...what a busy 24 hours! My workshop last night was terrific with my host earning a ton of free product and some super Sale-a-bration extras including a great reusable tote bag and a bundle of three SAB-exclusive products: Fresh Vintage stamp set, Everyday Elegance DSP and the ribbon and brad pack. Then it was home to unpack and repack for my monthly group at school. After teaching all day today and then teaching my stamping class I rushed home to dinner and then out again to my son's first class of the new semester of Kindermusik! Now I'm ready to drop...bath and bed are in my immediate future...but first I wanted to post a fun Valentine's card that I designed for my monthly group that met today. It uses three of my favourite in-colours: lucky limeade, island indigo and pool party...not exactly traditional Valentine colours...check it out:

One of the things I like most about this card is the colour scheme. The island indigo, pool party and lucky limeade are all made using cardstock I received for FREE from the Sale-a-bration catalogue! Nothing better than free stuff! I used river rock for the card base, which is a colour I rarely use, but it works really well with the blues and green...so well that I fully intend to use this colour scheme again! This card came together really quickly at my class today...and my ladies loved it! It is the perfect Valentine to give to the man in your life.
Now I am off to have a nice hot bath and get into my jammies...have a great evening and happy stamping!
Hi Leena, Definitely loving the unconventional color choices for Valentine's Day! I don't use River Rock often, either, but you're right...it does work with the greens and blues.
