Oh my! I sure have missed card making and blogging! I have been called into work every day this week (substitute teacher). I know many of you work full time, but when you don't expect it, and there are many other things planned already (meetings, appointments, etc.), it sort of throws a me for a loop...lol!
I was determined to make a card when I came home today from those adorable, yet quite energetic, first graders! I was inspired by a mix of Becky Rusher's fun A Muse cards! I just *heart* this little Love Monster from A Muse! I picked him up last Thursday when I went shopping with my friend Clara. I inked him up in Black Stazon and colored him with a Crayola red marker (Yes, I know...I NEED to buy some markers!!!) and some Stampin' Up Cool Caribbean ink. He is layered on a square of Cool Caribbean and then onto a scalloped square (Marvy Mega Punch) of Stampin' Up Real Red. My card base is a wonderful 4 Bar Note in Maderia Blue from A Muse. My little scalloped oval is made with a punch from Punch Bunch. I used some Color Box Fluid Chalk Ink in Lipstick Red for the "Hugs and Hearts" sentiment from Hero Arts. The sweet red stitched ribbon is from my swap friend Tracy Clemente (*waving* hello). I thought that my card still needed a little bit of something, so I added some Real Red hearts that I punched out with an old punch from Marvy. A little bit of faux stitching on the hearts to pull it all together and there you go!
I'm so glad that you could stop by...Toodles! :D

he's adorable!
How adorable is this? He is one of my *favs* from the Valentine release. I love how you punched a window for the sentiment! TFS!
He's really cute, Kimberly. Prolly kinda reminds you of those adorable first graders! LOL!
Too cute... I like what you did with the little monster. :)
Very, very cute!! This little love monster is so fun, and I love your layout. I'm a substitute teacher, too, so I understand your schedule. Thanks for sharing this great card.
