Blue Hearts Love too!

Happy Valentine's Day friends!!!
I thought I'd pop in today with another creation I made and since it has some hearts on it, thought it would be appropriate for today...it's a non-traditional Valentines! :)
I have been wanting to ink this cutie pie up for quite a while now! :)
You may recognize this an older Sugar Nellie stamp by Elisabeth Bell, but now you get this darling stamp from The Elphine House Australia which was re-released as Daisy!  Elisabeth Bell has been putting out more sweet stamps over there...so be sure to check them out!!

I actually had won this as a prize from one of the Elphine House Challenges a while back!  There is a new challenge up this time using "Hearts" as the theme, so I thought I'd give it a try! :)

I would like to enter this in the following challenges today:
Stamp with Fun - sketch
Paper Play - Love Letters
Stamptacular Sunday - pearls and lace
Paper Sundaes - Sundae Bar:  cream, blue, distressing & pearls
(Elisabeth Bell is sponsoring this challenge!)

Thanks so much for checking in today and following along with my blog!!  I sure have enjoyed getting back into my crafty mojo lately and hope to be sharing for a long time to come! :)
I hope you've enjoyed my creation and I wish you and all of your loved ones a very
lovely Valentine's Day!

I will be spending time with my family tonight and going to a basketball game.
I will be spending time scrap-booking all day tomorrow as well, but I'll be back again later! HUGS
