Happy Wednesday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Charmed Life Blog. We are back to really frigid temps here in Pittsburgh. It caused school delays today and lots of evening activity cancellations. It was a bit colder last night but that didn't bother hubby and I. We had a date night scheduled and going to the Petersen Center to watch the University of Pittsburgh play Clemson in basketball was a part of it. We stomped Clemson 76-43 so that made fighting the frigid temps worth it. Our night started at our favorite pizza shop for some dinner before the game. It was a great night spent with my hubby.
Today I went over to pick my youngest grandson up at school since I didn't make it there yesterday. I spent a few hours with all 3 of the boys and then made my way home this evening.
Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge #424. Audrie was our hostess and she took us to the Design-Seeds site. We were able to choose our own color palette for our card. This was my choice.
And, also for Friday's free for all challenge #204. Dawn was the hostess for this one, and she challenged us to use patterns in our card. I used dots and chevrons to create my valentine card. My paper is from Stampin-Up "fresh prints' collection. I love the dot pattern. Chevrons are a die from MFT and they are cut from coastal cabana cardstock.
The Cupid and love you heart are new dies that I just bought from Impression Obsession. I think they are so cute. I am alos entering one of their challenges for the first time. Here is the link for the I {Heart} You Challenge.
Well, that's my card for today. So until next time.......God bless.
