Valentine's Cards ~ Kraftin' Kimmie Style ~ for the Little People in my Life

Hey there.  Yep, I know.  I have not got my days confused.  I know it is Friday and some of you are looking forward to a great weekend.  Me...well I work retail so enough said about that.  But I did say a couple of posts ago (like two weeks now) that I was going to try and post more between challenges for my design teams.  Here is one of those posts.

Last weekend was my one weekend off a month.  So I had a girl's weekend with my BFF, Shari, and we crafted almost the whole time.  It was also a celebration weekend for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps as Kim has reached 2,000 fans on her Facebook page and she celebrated her birthday this week too.  It was an on line crop where we had challenges every two hours.  My personal goal for the weekend was to get my butt in gear and get Valentine's in the mail for my grandchildren.  Combining all of the above, I can say that these two little cards are entered into two of the challenges and are winging their way across country to my grand babies....and on time even.

All of the challenges were sketches with an added twist.

So I hope you have hung in there until the end.  This is probably the longest post I have made for a while that's for sure.  And if you have just looked at the pictures that's okay too....LOL!!!  Thanks to my friend Kraftin' Kimmie and my friend Shari for making it a special weekend.  Bonus points for being a good grandma too.  I sure hope I have inspired you to get some Valentine's cards finished.

Until next time, keep crafting.
