Puppy Love

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week the theme is Love is in the Air....so we are featuring VALENTINES!



I had so many favorites in the new Occasions Catalog that Valentine type sets took a backseat.  So....I made a Valentine with what I had and I think it's just super cute!



Isn't this Valentine puppy so sweet!  I have always been a big fan of pink and chocolate so those colors jumped into my head right away!



The puppy's "fur" is a design from the beautiful LOVE BLOSSOMS Designer Paper Stack on page 17.  It's intended to coordinate with the Bloomin' Love Bundle, but the paper is so beautiful it can be used with just about anything!  This particular design was simply perfect for my pink and chocolate puppy!



I brought in pink with the sponged hearts created with a decorative mask.  They give a nice subtle background and a real Valentine feel to the card.  My biggest dilemma with not getting a Valentine set was what sentiment to use.  But that ended up being an easy thing to solve!  I looked through my stamps and found the wonderful sentiment "Love You" in the versatile set FRIENDLY WISHES in the main catalog.

This turned out so sweet, it's just another great reason to get the PLAYFUL PALS Bundle...very versatile!
