XOXO -

Hello & Happy Monday my favorite Crafty Peeps! Are you enjoying the 3 day weekend? I have to work, so I'm not! LOL But I'll have the rest of the week off cuz I get to go pick up my son from Marine Boot Camp! I'm so excited to see him graduate and visit with him before he heads off to somewhere else! :)
I won't be around this week - so I have some Pre-Scheduled Posts I wanted to share with you - When I get back, I hope to catch up and visit you! :)
In the mean time, here's today's Crafty Project!

I've said this before - I'm trying to step outside my "Normal"

Comfort zone! I like to use Papers & Layers on my cards -

So I'm trying to make cards that use White & Less Layers

Trust me when I say this is HARD for ME! :) 

On these Valentine's cards I used my Blending tool to create

the pink background -

I made 1 darker than the other - just to see the difference

As basic as the are, I think they came out lovely -
