Sweetheart Card

Hi All,
I can't believe it!  I got my papercrafting mojo back!!!! LOL!!  For some reason I had major crafting block. If you know what I mean.  It sucks.  I would sit down, look at all my stuff and not feel inspired.  Been there?  I got 5 new cartridges from my DH for Christmas (Once Upon a Princess, Doodlecharms, Cindy Loo, Storybook, and Wild Cards) and they have just been sitting there.  I know, I know, I am ashamed of myself.  Then yesterday, BAM!!, I snapped out of it and made a ton of cards!  It feels soooo good to be back and I have missed all of you.  This card in particular was made for the First My Pink Stamper Blog Hop.  After you hopped through all of the blogs and saw all of the incredible projects these ladies did and collected the secret code, you were told to make something.  So I did and here's mine!

The paper is all from a value pack I picked up at JoAnn's called Botanical by The Paper Company.  Since the paper was 8.5" by 11", I cut each sheet in half and it gave me 2 cards!!!  The cream paper is cut at 5.25" by 4", then cuttlebugged with the D'Vine Swirl embossing folder.  The "SWEETHEART" cut and heart is cut using the Phrase Creative Feature button from the Once Upon a Princes cartridge and was cut at 1.5".  The hot pink ribbon I got from Walmart and the prima flower and tiny white brad were gifts for Christmas!  Such a totally sweet card.  I hope you all like it!  Thank you for coming to visit me and comments are welcome!!
