Hopelessly devoted to you

Good morning, it's Monday, the start of a fresh new week- month, even! It's time for a new challenge from Songbirds. The challenges all have song titles and this time it's 'Hopelessly devoted to you'. The obvious interpretation, given the time of year,  is a Valentine card. Well, I don't really 'do' Valentine - I'm probably a bit old fashioned (pedantic??) and boring, but to me, the whole point of it is, that it is from a  secret admirer, not a husband, wife or partner! Perhaps I'm just old fahioned (or old, as my daughter would say!!!). Ok, I can see it's nice to tell a long-term partner that you love him/her, but I still think that's not really what it's all about! We're all entitled to our own opinions!!
My card could be a Valentine card, but it could equally well be used as an anniversary or even birthday card for a loved one! (I do make my OH birthday and anniversary cards, I'm not totally heartless!). The image is a favourite old PSX stamp of mine (I love these teds!) paper-pieced  and mounted onto a die cut heart. Random papers from my stash, Tim Holtz flourish, a ribbon, mulberry rose, a couple of gems and a touch of stickles.
Anyway, enough of me wittering on! Why not pop over to Songbirds and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the DT, who knows, you could be tempted to join in and win the prize donated by our generous sponsors 'Bearly Mine Designs' .
Have a good week!
Chris

    Love your card, as you say, not just for Valentine.
    We don't really bother with it here. I think a lot of it is hype. We can go for a lovely dinner and be romantic any time, hate the idea of being forced to be romantic.
    So I'm another of the old fashioned ones with you.

    Hi Chris, this is so super cute, I love the image and the colour combination and fab papers.
    You are just like my hubby on valentines, I only got one when we first started courting and he said I should just bring it out every year!!
    Hugs Sue W.

    Chris..
    I use a ruler to get my line then use the marks on it to space my holes out..
    When I stitch my ovals as my last card..I use a smaller oval held down and follow in round..Hope this helps..
