Hi, everyone! Welcome to the Cards for Kids Valentines Day Blog! If you have come from Melanie's blog, you're in the right place. If you're just joining us, please go to Faith Abigail's blog and start at the beginning.
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show someone how much you love them. So this year, let's send a little love to those that need it most! Each of us has created a Valentine's Day card for a sick child and we're asking you to do the same! Simply, create a Valentine's Day card, link it to this blog entry (link-up will remain open until February 7 at 12:00am) and mail it to:
Faith Abigail
10621 Fuller Ridge Circle
Charlotte, NC 28270
On February 10th, all of the card's will be collected and donated to a local children's hospital. Please include a small message inside your card. Envelopes are not necessary.
My card uses Elegant Edges to create the frame. I cut two of them for a bit of layering. I cut a heart using the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and covered the entire thing with little red pom poms. I love the dimension and texture it gives! The tag was cut using the Sentimental's Cartridge. The stamp is by Papertrey Ink. The flower was cut using the Mother's Day Cartridge. I added a bit of white twine and a red brad to the center of the flower. The background was embossed with the addition of red brads and twine for a pop of color.
I love the pom poms! It makes you just want to run your finger across it, doesn't it? ; )
This is what I am giving away! : )
I am giving away a Damask Decor Cricut Cartridge, 2 packages of red line tape, Teresa Collins trim, a Tattered Angels Album, and an adorable Valentine stamp set by My Craft Spot. I will pick a winner using random.org on FEBRUARY 1st!

Great card, love the pom poms on the front. When I was a kid our teacher used to tell us those were "warm fuzzies" She would hand them out as incentives to get our work done. Funny how we all wanted them. :)
I'm following your blog.

This is so pretty, Michele!! I love the red pom poms and the beautiful flower! Some child is going to really love this card! I had a daughter that spent a week in hospital when she was 5 years old. The little things like this meant so much to her (and her worried momma!)

What a great card! You always have such great ideas. :)

WOW! LOVE LOVE your pom-pom Valentine! SO sweet!
Your pom heart is fantastic...and I love the pretty doily!! What a wonderful Valentine!!
I am going to try to get a card done for this. Hope I can get it done. Love your pom poms....I'd rather rub my cheek across them instead of my finger though. I imagine it will tickle...and some kid is going to be very happy with this little tickler. So cute!
Oh, I can just see a child running his/her fingers over those pompoms - what a cute idea. Nice hopping with you.
