MyGrafico METAL Monday

Phew!!! I've been busy! We had parent-teacher conferences right after school on Thursday, so I didn't get home until after 8. The conferences continued Friday morning. How exhausting! Thinking I had super fabulous coupons for the Gap outlet, my BF and I headed to the outlets after school in the frigid cold.....guess who's coupons only worked at retail stores!!! Saturday was a great day stamping with the girls I meet with every month. We had such a great time, as usual!! I didn't feel well on Sunday...wonder why! I'm looking forward to a start of a new week and a new month :)

With the start of the new week, we have a new Monday challenge at MyGrafico. This week's challenge is to USE METAL on your card/LO/project. You could use brads, eyelets, clips, wire, etc. The design team is using this fun set from Tainted Sweets.

Here's what I came up with:

I'm completely in the Valentines spirit, so I thought I'd make a Valentine for my mom's puppy Stella. Stella is such a hoot - she's a border collie mix which has to be one of the most pleasant (yet active!) breeds of dogs. I used three brads for my METAL and then covered the backs with a brown heart. The inside of the card reads, "You're Paws-itively Perfect!!"


Side note: One of my 10 for '10 goals was to blog at least 25 times per month. I'm upset that I didn't meet that for January. I already have items for three more posts lined up, so hopefully I'll meet the goal this month! The other goals are coming along quite well!
