new challenge day!!!

(hoooraaaaaaaaaaay!)

would you like to see it, though??

(ok, i'm really hoping you said, "YES!" just then...because i'm planning to show it to you. right now, as a matter of fact.)

(monsta cut from paperchase giftwrap; fabric paper: love elsie; patterned paper: scenic route, creative imaginations; glossy black cardstock: ranger; rubber stamp: pink paisley; cardstock stickers: kelly panacci, provocraft, boxer; clear sticker: oriental trading; gems: mambi; other: heart playing card (thank you, elizabeth wickland!) mongol watercolor pencils; colorbox inks, zig pen, foam tape)

you'll have guessed by now that the theme of the challenge is to make a *NEW* card featuring a heart or hearts. it can be a valentine...but it doesn't have to be. full details on the prize... (quite a good 'un!) ...a look at all the fabulous design team creations... (spectacular, like always!) ...and info on how to link up your card...are on the 'varks blog. why not pop over for a little look-see?!

my card is the one i made for the amazing & generous jolene johnston to thank her for the awesome goodies she sent me last week. it was SUPER-FUN to make...i love alllllll the bits that are in it... (& there are plenty of 'em!) ...and i especially enjoyed distressing, doodling on, and amassing them all together.
