Sweetie Pie & Historic Day xxx

LOVE these hearts xxx

This is one of the cards I did for the next Making Hand Made Cards launch - the new e-kit, which is coming out soon, is called Sweetie Pie.

It is really sweet, I have to say, and there are loads of colours included. This one is made using the more traditional Valentine colours, and the hearts and sentiments are included in the kit.

I cut some of the hearts out and stuck them onto a strip of acetate, then raised the whole thing up on foam pads. I doodled dots round the outside using a white gel pen to match the gorgeous spotty ribbon which I got from the ever so fabulous Poppicrafts.

You can maybe see better from the skew wifty angle here lol xx

I am posting early today cos I have been glued to the telly and I am just waiting for the Inauguration of President Obama. There are events that have happened in my lifetime which have massive historical interest, such as the deaths of Kennedy and Diana, a new millenium, and now this.


I really believe that this man can bring hope to us all, and not just to the American people. He has such charisma and is one of the most skillful communicators I think I have ever heard.

The Reverend Martyn Luther King had a dream.

Maybe today we are all seeing that dream beginning to come true.

Awesome xxxx
