Valentine’s Challenge

I created this Valentine’s door hanger for a challenge that Craft Edge has on right now.  It has to be in a Valentine’s theme, and you must use your SCAL program to do it.  For mine, I used the heart provided by the SCAL program in Basic Shapes.  I overlapped my black paper onto some pretty pink paper by the Anna Griffin line (it’s really sparkly!).  I used the French Script MT font for my lettering, and I found the lips in the Craft Edge forum provided by Craigg64 via clker.com.  Thanks so much by the way!  I then just added some sparkly pink gems and pink ribbon (which I attached with sticky dots on the back).

I was actually going to cut out a heart from wood to mount it all on to, and now I wish I would have.  I ended up mod podging the whole works of it just to make sure the letters and everything stayed in place, but once it all dried the entire heart was wanting to curl inwards.  I just might make another with wood anyways, but maybe little ones to hang around the house.  Even cardboard would work to mount it onto.  Anything just to keep it all from curling.

Anyone interested in the Craft Edge challenge go to http://www.surecutsalot.com/challenge to check it out.  If nothing else there are lots of great ideas that others have submitted already!  Yes, there are lots of very talented, crafty people out there!
