Love/Valentine's Day! @ Cut It Up (GDT)

 I was lucky enough to be offered a GDT spot at

Yay!  So happy to be joining them for the next two weeks where the challenge is "Love/Valentine's Day".  So, you just need to make a card that's all about lurrrrrrrrrrve, and include a die cut/cutting machine cut file on your project.  

My craft space is still in an uproar from the minor renovations we made to our office/rec room.  I've got access to some of my stuff, but a lot of it is still packed away in our basement.  I'm having quite a time figuring out storage for over my desk.  The cubbies I bought are much to deep and encroach way too far over my workspace.  I bought a very long floating shelf but have been cautioned against using it by my youngest and her boyfriend who bought the same shelf, only smaller, and they don't like it at all.  They said the hanging materials are shoddy, and I should return mine.  Now, I miiiiight consider giving it a go anyway, but I know full well I'd be pilling that shelf FULL, and if its attachment to the wall is shaky....well, I figure I'd walk in to the room sometime and find the shelf had smashed onto the desk, breaking a lot of my crafty supplies, and tearing out a good portion of the wall.  And then I'd definitely just cry.  Add to that the fact that the other piece of storage furniture isn't available until March.....well, it's made me have to get a little more creative than usual.  But, if I didn't have to make sure I was only using crafty supplies I could access, then I might not have made this......

Admittedly, I did have to go spelunking to find that hearts embossing folder, but other than that, I was able to use things that were actually with my craft space.  Bear die is a nonamer from either Ebay or Amazon....have to admit, it was a lot smaller than I expected.  I didn't go back and look at the listing though because I prefer to think that it wasn't my fault for not knowing it was pretty tiny.  (:  Letter dies are Taylored Expressions and the heart die.....I believe is a very old MFT die.  Well, it's in a package with other MFT dies anyway.  

Why not join us over at Cut It Up?  It would be great if you shared in the luuuuuuurve.  (:
