Peanut Butter and Jelly

A new month has arrived and that means a new challenge from the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog.  This month's challenge is "Love Is . . .".  So, create any project that has a love theme.

Here is the card I created:

It's time to get started on those Valentine's Day cards!  Last month I posted a set of 10 cards that I had made using a one sheet wonder template.  This month I am going to use the same template (different patterned paper) to create a bunch of my Valentine's Day cards, but I've only got this one finished so far.

I decided to use these super cute jars of peanut butter and and jelly (strawberry of course!) from Sugar Pea Designs.  I stamped the jelly jar on the card base with red ink for a tone-on-tone background. Stamped my sentiments and stamped, colored and fussy cut the images which were adhered with foam dots.  I die cut two different hearts and added them with foam tape before coating them with Glossy Accents for some shine (thanks to Jennifer McQuire for that tip).

I decided to mat my patterned paper with a light gray cardstock as white seemed just a little too stark against the red shades I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Head on over to the LTSCB blog to see what the rest of the team has created and to get the full details of the challenge.  Then get inky and play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.
