FCCB Challenge #270 ~ Monochromatic

Hello crafty friends! I hope you all had an awesome weekend and a happy Valentine's Day! My husband proposed to me on Valentine's Day in a restaurant 11 years ago, so he took me back to the same place. We had a great dinner and just an all around good time being together. Well, that's enough about me! Today is Monday which means it's time for another Challenge Me Monday at FCCB. You can join us by clicking on the box below. We look forward to seeing what you create!

Love You Tons

Hello, my fellow crafty peeps! I hope you are all having a fantastic week! I'm feeling quite a bit better these last couple of days (knock on wood). I had another fun-filled visit to the ER on Saturday night (pfft!), but they did give me a couple of new medications to try, which seem to be helping (again, knock on wood). I also have an appointment this week with a Physical Medicine specialist for some nerve conduction studies, which will hopefully get me some answers. Anyway, blah blah blah.... onward to the crafting! I recently acquired a couple of new Cricut cartridges & also picked up some new manual dies, so I combined them to come up with this little cutie patootie card....
