Love Is In The Air

Good morning!
I hope you are enjoying your week ...

The Monday Challenge over at SimonSays Stamp is Love is in the air - Use red

My love affair with little animals continues - 
Using a little guy from the Memory Box Gnome for Christmas stamps and dies, here's what I made

Uhuh, A polar bear this time...sending love to his sweetheart using balloons ... I mean how else is he going to send it?
The little red hearts were punched out and smothered in glossy accents


 I used balloon dies by Lil'Inkers and the sentiment - MFT's Label Makers - is stamped, embossed and handcut...
 To add a little interest I used a Lawn Fawn stitched hillside border die on the card edge

I am also entering this at The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge Love Letters


Got the hearts and got the word...

There's a nasty virus hanging around in my home right now ... DH has taken to his bed and I'm hoping I don't catch it...I must admit, it's pretty peaceful round here though hee hee...
Have a beautiful day

I feel sorry for your husband - I've also got a virus and have had to take a couple of days off work - think I'll be well enough to go back tomorrow.
I love these dangling hearts and I love that you used a polar bear for a non- Christmas card - so creative.

Cant beat lashings of GA now can you makes the whole world a better place. Love your clever polar bear sending his love with balloons so cute and love his icy blue bow. Our house is the same we all have had and are now recovering I've spent more time in bed with hubby in the last few weeks (ill I may add ) than i ever have.
take care and hope you are all better soon.

And just look at that. You've found a way to use one of those fuzzy bears in a non-Christmas way too. So cute with the little hearts hanging on the balloon strings. Valentine cuteness for sure!
