I have used the new "loved Up" digi stamp set for my card today, she is so cute and a dream to colour too!!  As always I have coloured my image with promarkers, glossy accents, stickles, DCWV c/s, PM pink parfait papers, MS heart punch, ribbon and charm.  I have made my bow using the "bow easy" template it is a great little gadget and makes tying bows much faster!

I am entering this card in to the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss week16  I have used their sketch for my card.

 Simon says Stamp "What's love got to do with it".

Charisma Cardz Challenge "I love you".

It is really cold again today, no sign of the "snow" that we are supposed to get, thankfully the showers of hail have come down and melted quickly away!!  Hurry up Spring and some warmer weather!!

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you can find time to join in with us at Nutty Nutshells this week!!
