Crafty Sentiments Challenge: Valentines and inspiration Benson post

Good morning all! I trust you are well and happy? My little girls and myself had a great day yesterday - they did some colouring whilst I attended to chores and blogger - then we went to the playbarn and met a friend there and stayed for lunch. After that we took the cat to the vets for her routine booster jab - and finished off the day at ballet - phew! Good fun! Today we're off to my mums - waves frantically xxxx

I've got two cards using images from Crafty Sentiments to share with you today - the first is for the new craftysentiments challenge - valentines - that starts today.



The image is called ''He loves me' and can be found here. I've coloured her with promarkers and used tumbled glass DI around the edge of the romantic rectangle die - the papers are from Bazzil Basics. I've used a Go Kreate Die to cut the card from Crafters Companion Centura Pearl card. Flowers are WOC.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

fabnfunkychallenges: Hearts and Valentines
simonsaysstampschallenge: Have a Heart

My second card is featuring Benson Bear - he's being featured on the Crafty Sentiments Inspiration Page - here.Pop over and see just how versatile this and another couple of Benson Bear inages are - I think you might be surprised!
Many of the design team are involved in this inspirational post so pop over and have a look.

Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!

Big Hugs and thanks for dropping by!
