I made a valentine card for the MMSC#34 this week. http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ There are some awesome sketches each week on this site. I used the SU polka dot punches set and stamped inside my nestie for the main image, then stamped 4 times, cut out, and popped up another image from the same set for the corners. Added rhinestones according to sketch, punched out some
hearts for the side of my main image, stamped sentiment and I'm finished. I don't want to be as far behind on valentines as I was Christmas so I'm starting now. Beat the Rush!

Okay Benz, you STOLE my idea for the MM challenge. I was going to do a Valentine Day card and use hearts fluttering out the side per the sketch. It's bad enough you steal from Hobby Lobby, but now you have gone and stole from The Fruitcake's creative imagination!!! Well, we'll just see if I can master this sketch after you took my idea. Now everyone will think I copied you!!! But, I must say, you did do an AMAZING job here Benz. Your paper is gorgeous, love your hearts and the flowers and bling are outstanding. Yep, it looks like a Fruitcake card, so it has to be wonderful!!! LOL!!! I'm under pressure now to come up with a really good one!! Darn you Benz!! TFS!!!

Hey, I was the lucky one who received this beautiful card from The Benz. We both exchanged Midnight Madness cards I just realized. Only the best for the best, right? Benz, I'll get your RAK uploaded when I can. I haven't been on the computer all day. I just now got on and it's time for bed!! Boo Hoo!! Hugs and Thanks . . . The Fruitcake/Flake
