The Shabby Tea Room # 245

Hey Everyone.......happy Monday to you!

Its time to start creating  for your 'Valentine'

The new challenge theme at The Shabby Tea Room is 'I {Heart} You'

along with this pretty photo for inspiration.

My Artistic Adventures Etsy is sponsoring this challenge. 

I have used 'Vintage Victorian Shabby Chic cupid arrow postcards and Vintage Valentine Sweethearts digital paper on both cards.

I really love the pretty Heart prints........Here's another card with the blue paper. I have used 'Life's a Party cricut cartridge to cut the Heart shape card and 3 D Bows for the paper bow.  The heart shape window was created in Cricut Craft Room. I covered the edges with gold paint ( I have no ink) I know it looks a bit messy!  I rubbed it on with my fingers, then I picked up the bow, which then left paint where I  didn't want it.....Oh well.......lets call it 'Shabby' ?

Paper Sweeties 'Hello Friend' stamp set for the inside.

Lets see Your {Heart} creations........for a chance to win some pretty papers.

Be sure to check out what the other DT members have created

Happy Crafting

I think most of today I have spent on the computer playing catch up visiting some of my favorite blogs. I really enjoy seeing what you have been creating........but lately, there is not enough hours in the day. So if I haven't stopped by , I will very soon.

Here is what I have been up to.........My daughter and her partner recently announced their engagement. In a few weeks time we will be celebrating so, I have been busy making decorations for the party.

Washi tape to add a little sparkle to the pegs.

Pretty Banners

The tassels are all cut ready to fold........I just through them over the string to get an idea of colour. The banner shape was cut using Pretty Pennants cricut cartridge , I used Art Philosophy for the hearts. 

Last week .......On Melbourne cup day ( Biggest horse race in Australia) I had a few friends come over for a very casual card making day.  We enjoyed a few champagnes and created! 

I put  some kits together .....here are the Christmas cards we made.
