Challenge Title: I *Heart* You
Hostess: Lynn Mercurio
Keyword: HYCCT1331A
Date: October 31, 2013
Here we are, the last day of this wonderful month of challenges for such a worthwhile cause. This is the first of three challenges today and since it has been a month of "heartfelt" love and support, I thought it would be fitting to have a challenge to create a heart shaped card or a card that contains hearts.
There are many ways to create a "shaped card", and you may have your favorite method, but if you need a little guidance, you can check out this tutorial from Beate. Beate demonstrates how easy it is to create a shaped card using dies.
Here is my sample, which was created using a cut file from the Silhouette online store:

Lynn- it has been a pleasure to make these cards- I am about to mail my last box today-
For my card, I used this holiday image from Penny Black- and mounted it on a red dc background and a larger heart frame. Added a sparkly heart and a dc flower with my sentiment. I just love red and pink together, and I thought these sweet dogs and cat were a good match here's my card- Winter Joy
