Happy Friday!!!

   Another week is over already and that brings us one week closer to SPRING and I can not wait.   This is also one of the best weeks I have had in a while and I know it's because the weather has been better and we've had several days where we saw the sun!   WOOHOO!  A little sunshine can always brighten your day!  I'm also thirlled that we made it though the week without any major snowstorms!! Yippee!!   I may even head out for a bit this morning and do some shopping  and that will be my first day out, in about two weeks.  WOW!!  I am so NOT a winter person and love to hibernate in my craft room during the cold gray winter months! 

   And I've had a lot of time to craft lately which is a joy for me.    I am excited today to share a new release with you and it's a cute one from StampFairy!    Perfect for your Valentine cards and a fun every day  'I love you' card!  

   This one is kind of special to me as the name of this sweet bear is "Toby" and the set is called Toby Love.  Toby was also my Dad's name and although I lost him many years ago, but whenever I hear the name Toby, it brings back fond memories.    I lost my Dad far too young, but I have memories to forever cherish and they are all about LOVE!
     
  This is my sweet little Toby Love card and I actually created it with this week's Freebie!   I wanted a little fun card to go with a Valentine gift and I thought this image was perfect.

   I created my case base on my Cricut and then using my Cuttlebug and Spellbinder dies to create the background layers.  I paper-pieced the heart with one of the new digi packs also available from StampFairy.  You can find the digital papers  HERE! 

   My little Toby Love card is also being submitted to these fun challenges --
