A Country Charmed Valentine

Hey everyone. I am still trying to hit 100 followers. I would love it if you were a follower. I have a give-a-way going if I hit 100 followers.  Check it out here.

It has been a crazy couple days. My job had me out of the office all of yesterday, today I had several conference calls, and tonight I am trying to pack my scrap stuff and make some snacks and soup for a scrapbook weekend with a couple friends. They will be here Thursday morning to pick me up at 9am. Yikes- still so much to do.

I have had a few challenges that I wanted to participate in. So, I pulled out my Gypsy and picked a few cuts, then tried to put them together for a cute valentine card.  Here is what I came up with.

It is a 5.5" x5.5" card. I used two carts, Country Life and Simply Charmed along with a stamp from my new Creative Time Stamp set I just got in the mail. See below for how I did it. 

I will be posting it in the following challenges...
