Key to My Heart

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

It's somewhat of a milder day here in Pittsburgh. My hubby and I were able to do our walk outside instead of at our indoor local Community Center track. That one gets a little busy, but it allows us to get a 45–50-minute walk in. So, I am not complaining.

I finally got all of my Christmas decorations taken down and packed up for another year. I pulled out all my next season decorations which would be Valentine's Day. I usually leave those up until March and then decorate for Easter. But this year Easter falls on March 31 so that may change my schedule up a bit. I haven't decided as yet.

But for today I am featuring a Valentine card. I used the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #935. We were to use rich razzleberry, fresh freesia and evening evergreen for the color trio.

fresh freesia, rich razzleberry, evening evergreen

For this card I used the January 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up. It had the fresh freesia and rich razzleberry colors as part of the kit. I used the fresh freesia card base that came in the kit. I really liked the background on the base. I added the lock & key (from Kit) to the vellum round.

Stamped my sentiment in rich razzleberry ink on a die cut banner. The stamp I used is part of the kit. Added a few evening evergreen opal rounds and this card is done.

Well, that's it for me for this post. I plan on posting a lot more on my Blog since I have resigned my position on the CottageCutz team. It was almost an 8-year stint but I have some other responsibilities that will be taking more of my time this upcoming year.
