What's BLACK and WHITE and RED all over?

(sorry, there is no way to do white text, so I had to cheat...)

Yes, it's that time again...

Our Valentine's challenge will be related to the question above. Make something for Valentine's Day using only your stash that is black and white and red. Anything goes, as long as it contains more than 50% of the materials from your stash...

Be sure to post photos!

Have fun and happy creating!

Hmmmm... Good question... I guess so, but the main colors need to be black, white and red...

These looked really neat to me - hopefully they may stimulate some creative juices in others...

Kim, I will be working on your wonderful, fantabulous participation ribbon this week. That ATC really is amazing!

Here's my Valentine potholder. Had fun using those little strips and scraps of red/white fabrics, with just a little black/red for good measure. Back is the black/red fabric; binding is red hearts on white.

Two Cards:


Cute, aren't they? Precut cardstock, gingham paper, and these litle ladybugs that I had leftover from a Girl Scout project.


Red precut card, white and black cardstock, and red stickles glitter glue. The white "bubble" and the word "love" I did on my new Cricut.

You can use some of your stash to embellish your cards/papercraft items. That's the nice thing about papercrafting versus scrapbooking - whatever you make doesn't necessarily have to last 100 years.

Ann,
Is Valentines the deadline to have this done by? I sorted through my stash tonight to see what I could come up with. :D

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, cookies in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming. "WOOHOO, What a Ride!"

We are usually pretty open-ended about deadlines, so if you get it done by Valentine's day, that's great! I will send out participation ribbons for all who choose to give this a try.
