Happy Valentine's Day! I've had this patterned paper forever, and finally used it on this card. I paired it with a piece of pink Basic Grey paper and added Lasting Impressions brads. I dry embossed the scallop circle and heart using Lasting Impressions paper. One of the reasons I like the Lasting Impressions paper is it has a white core, so if you sand it, the white core shows through. I had no idea the same thing would happen with the Basic Grey paper. I'll definitely be using more Basic Grey paper instead of hoarding it... okay well maybe not, but it's still good to know! I hope you have wonderful plans for Valentine's Day. Not sure what we're doing yet. I better go figure something out!
Heidi you make me giggle! I hoard paper too : ) This card is great! will you give it to your DBF or doesn't he "get into" it?? My DH tells me

PS - I hoard paper too. I finally used some Basic Grey paper I have had for like 3 years. I don't think they even make the patterns anymore. You, me and Patti should start a support group :)
