Welcome once again to Kitchen Sink Monday! This week, Connie is our guest hostess and she got to choose our challenge. She really put the Crew to the test... we had to create a Valentine using any of the fabulous flower stamp sets from Kitchen Sink Stamps, but NO RED OR PINK! Yikes! Not an easy task, but I think I accomplished it!
As I was photographing this card, my hubby actually glanced at it and said "Whoa!" so I think this might actually end up being his Valentine next Saturday! We have such a wonderful evening planned, and I can't wait for it to get here. The Youth group at the church we've been attending sponsor a Valentine dinner, so we are signed up to go to that! I'm not only looking forward to a nice dinner with my hubby but also the chance to get to know some more people from the church! Then, after dinner they're showing the movie Fireproof! I'm so anxious to see it! I've heard that even if your marriage is strong and doesn't need "strengthening," it's definitely something everyone ought to see. Thankfully, my husband and I have a pretty stong marriage but I still want this week to go by fast!
Check out the creations from Connie, and the rest of the Kitchen Sink Crew members, and join in the challenge if you have the time! You can enter your creations in the What's Cookin' With Your Kitchen Sink Stamps? contest and possibly be the next guest hostess for our challenges!
