It's been a long week here at my house this week. We are nearing the final week of school holidays, celebrated Australia Day and my husband had a fairly major nose operation this week. So not only have I been celebrating but it feels like I have been nursing/looking after five kids instead of the usually four! LOL
Today's sketch is designed by Robbie Rubala.
I tired my hand at what I am calling a vintage-y valentine style card. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day in a big way here with the kids exchange cards etc. with students at school. The camera didn't pick up the colours real well so the card looks far brighter than it is... so annoying....
Did you know we have a Sketch Friday Frenzy blog? Each week the card sketch is uploaded and it's also a place for everyone to upload their own take on the current sketch. To see the next card on the round robin list, visit Sharon Field's blog.

Great card! I like how you used a circle for the main focal point!
