Blah, Blah, Blah

Valentine's Day.
   Blah, blah blah ...
Drink

Hearts and flowers.
Yadda, yadda, yadda,
Chocolate.

Ooh, drink and chocolate.
I've changed my mind.
There might be something to this Valentine's Day after all.


A cute, shaker card for Mr. Kiss.
And more attempts at playing with the White Balance.

I'm back. What have I missed?

Hello.    It's been a while.
Things have been tough.
Long story.
 
This is my first card in 8 months!
I'm a little rusty.
 


Things I need to re-learn (quickly) -
How to post.
What size to cut my base cards.
How to get a sharp, stamped, die cut.
Which colour combos go together.
How to take a decent photo. 

Challenges.
