Card Share: Love You "Deer-ly" (Echo Park Holly Jolly)

First off, Happy Halloween! I probably should be sharing a spooky Halloween project today, but I'm not. I'm sharing something cute, related to Valentine's Day.

(as seen in Paper Creations magazine)

Jane Guthrie, editor of Paper Creations, challenged me to create Valentine's Day cards using Christmas collections. She wanted to encourage crafters to make cards for an upcoming holiday before putting their holiday collections away. I submitted a couple of cards (you can see another one here) for review. The card above is the one that made the cut.

The papers, and most of the embellishments, are from Echo Park's Holly Jolly collection. The sweet, little deer sticker was the inspiration for the card.

I hope I've inspired you to look at your holiday collections in a new light. Maybe you'll even think about making a few Valentine's Day cards (or New Year's cards) before stashing your holiday collections away this year.
