Good Morning folks!
It's Tuesday again and time for some Midnight Madness! Are you all ready? I loved the sketch this week and decided to incorporate the CDAC heart pocket tutorial too which was really easy to do, but adds a nice added touch to your creation don't you think?

Here's my card showing the tag out of the heart pocket
I used this pretty sunflower from Priscillastyles for my card which I've used a few times before. As it was more of a Valentine's card I decided to color it in a dark pink rather than the yellow of a sunflower. I printed the image in two sizes, colored them both then cut the images out. The smaller image petals were layered on top with foam dots. I just love the dimension it gives! I added some creme brulee starburst stains from Lindy's Stamp Gang on the top layer of petals and a glass dome with bee inside to the center of the image.
The heart pocket was made from two gold colored doily's. I wrapped one around the other to give the pocket effect that the tag fits into.
I hope you will take the time to visit my DT sisters as they have some beautiful creations to see!
One other thing I wanted to say is thank you for all your thoughtful words and prayers for my family, we truly appreciate all the love and support during our difficult time!
After the last couple of stressful weeks we've had, I just wanted to spend some real quality time with my little boy over the weekend! Away from the computer, phones and any other distractions, so we went to try to get him to ride without training wheels (stabilizers). I figured that my DH and I would be out for a while holding onto the back of his seat getting tired but that wasn't the case...within a couple of mins he was actually riding on his own! Once he rode around a few times on his smaller bike we tried him with his new bike that he won last year at a bike parade for "Best Decorated Bike". He took to this new bigger bike like a duck to water! Made for a very proud moment!
Thijs's first time without training wheels
A few minutes later riding alone on his big bike!
Enjoy your day and make each moment count!
Hugs,
Charlotte
