Morning!! Today I have 2 cards to share with you and both of the 'lurrrrrve' kind :) 

First up is CES Challenges and our theme this week is Red & Romance.. self explanatory really, lol. 

I've used sweet Henry Mouse with Love Balloon by Whiff of Joy. Check out the 'coming soon' section on CES for upcoming WOJ stamps, MME and Prima paper pads.

We would love to see you use at least one heart on your submission this week. Oh what an excuse to finally ink up the one of the hAnglar stamps I won from Jak's blog candy a while back. I had missed this set on Ebay and was so thrilled to win them :D 

  
My papers are Basic Grey Bittersweet, and I'm just down to the last of them.. how sad :( They are truly such romantic papers. 

The ticket is from Making Memories and I've had to cut off the bottom half to make it smaller. 

Challenges:
Simply Create  - Give your Heart Away
Stampin With The Dragon – Anything Goes
Tellen's Place  - Hearts
 Sassy Studio Designs - Love is in the Air (use hearts)
