Monday Montage #181

Ten days into January and my Christmas decorations are sitting in a pile and have not yet been put away.  I had plans to do it on Saturday, but the previous week had been so chaotic nothing productive got done.  I did sneak away to spend some time with my BFF to purchase a couple of crafty items and get a yummy snack that was totally not good for us.  It made for a fun time.  Are your decorations put away from the holidays???


Welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop - These are such talented crafters I hope you find something that inspires you on every page.

The card I made jumps to the holiday of Valentines.  Although I feel that the day feels full of forced\obligatory declarations of love, it is still nice to be appreciated and recognized.

I used the "you" die and the "love" die from Well Written.  I cut the LO from the love and combined it to make the you've.  The stolen letters were made by inking the blending brushes to blend the colors, then the letter dies were placed on the inked paper and cut.  The "my heart" is part of a sentiment from Lots of Heart, but I masked the rest of it so I could get the words that I needed to complete the saying.
And don't you love that little kangaroo????
