Love, Love, Love.....

I have some cards to share with you today that are all about love and valentine's day!  All 4 of them are based on Crazy For Challenges 23, "Be My Valentine".

This first one is uses CardPatterns Sketch #49, and is based on Cricut Cardz Challenge #11 (make a Valentine without hearts).  I seem to have a thing for lips on my Valentine's cards this year.  These lips came from the Tie The Knot cartridge, and have multiple layers for it.  I also love the glitter that I added to the light pink layer....kind-of like lip gloss! :)

Those are all the cards I have to share today!  I hope you liked them.  So, it seems lately that many blast from the past TV shows are on when I am scrolling through the channels.  When I was younger, I ♥♥♥ TGIF.  When I first started watching it, this was the fun lineup: 

While they might have been full of the cheese factor, they were such great shows for a kid!!  And I really loved it when my parents would go out on the Friday night, and get me a babysitter.  That meant junk food galore, and I had the coolest babysitters.  My mom worked at a boarding school for high schoolers in Arizona, and my babysitters were a couple of the girls from the dorm that my mom looked after.  

At some point, these shows were added in place of a couple others, and they were probably my VERY favorites of TGIF: 

Anyways...I keep seeing these some of these shows on the guide when I am scrolling, and they just bring smiles to my face.  What shows did you love when you were a kid? 

Well, I better get going for now.  I hope your weekend is going great so far! ♥

Until later,
