Mojo Monday Challenge 2-01-10

This is my first time doing the Mojo Monday card! My friend Jessa has been doing them a long time, and has inspired me. I'm trying to step up my crafting "game", so to speak, so wanting to get more into the world of following designers, making & submitting cards for contests & publication (maybe someday!), and just trying to improve my creative skill, so that hopefully one day I might be able to be good enough to pursue something within the paper crafting field as a career, even if it's only part time.

This card was a lot of fun, because I ADORE Valentine's Day colors & images. I always go crazy every year buying up V-day stuff. I intended to use my new Verve Valentine's Day stamps (they're so cute!), but I decided to use this really cute big felt sweetheart sticker as the bottom focal point instead. And with these adorable V-day papers from Martha Stewart, what else does one need? ;)
