Where the Heart is

Good morning!  Well it's morning where I am ;)  This week two of my favorite challenge blogs seem to be overlapping.  CAS-ual Fridays and The Play Date Cafe are both using the colors black, white, and red!  I love that color combination.  There is a catch, though.  At CAS-ual Fridays your card needs to be inspired by a book.  One of my all time favorite books is "Where the Heart Is" by Billie Letts.  I remember where I was when I finished reading it because I was so sad that I was done.  I really connected with those characters.  I turned to my Silhouette yet again for a die cut image of a house.  I embossed the background with hearts and punched out a heart to put on the door.  I added a little glossy accents to the heart to make it pop a little bit.  I really enjoyed making this card and I already know who I'm giving it to!  That's a plus!  Well enjoy your day!

    I really love the way you interpreted this challenge. I so love a book that you hate to have end. I am going to put this on my reading list! I also love the way that little red heart finishes it off. Great job!
