He's All That

January SU! Color Challenge provided the colors for my card. The colors are Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green and Early Espresso. I think I got my card in just under the wire. January just flew by for me. The sketch for my card is from CASE-ing Tuesday #445. They wanted a case of a card from page 14 of the January to April Mini Catalog. I flipped my card on its side.

Sending Love

CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge #454 is CASEing the SAB catalog. I took the Jungle Pals box from page 12 and created a Valentine's Day card. Valentine's Day is the topic for Festive Friday Challenge #1051. I pulled Red, Foiling, Pearls, Love Sentiment and hearts from their inspo list. The board for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #239 also led me to Valentine's Day. I went with the middle row of red, Patterned paper and Valentine.
