Blue Love

I love being challenged.

Here's a little tag for a Valentines challenge I'm in. The theme: "Love is in the Air". The rules: distress, lace, and no pink or red. No problem......no really, as long as you use romantic colors and fabrics it screams "Valentines". Don't you think?!

Tell me about one of your favorite challenges, if you feel like it.

Sneak Peek!!

Spoiler Alert!!

Sneak peek at my "Petite Inspiration Box" swap.

This is one of my all time favorite swaps. It's so much fun to get three little adorable packages filled with all kinds of creative bits and bobs.

It's almost as fun as making and filling three little boxes.

This year the theme was Valentines Day.

Makes sense :-)

I didn't think I was going to get these beauties done on time.

Well, their kinda on time....

Have a wonderful weekend.
