I received this card in a swap at my downline meeting.  I'm not sure which demonstrator made this card but it's a nice mix of designer series papers, cardstock and Sizzlit dies. 

This is a swap card that I got from Norma Artman at a recent quarterly downline demonstrator meeting in Janesville.  She used the pinwheel Sizzlit die on a Vaentine card.  Guess I better buy it too! 

 

This was the valentine card that we did at my stamp club this weekend.  I cased it so it wasn't my own creation but I really liked how it turned out with a couple of modifications.  Now to finish my Valentine cards to send out!
