*Share The Love*

Hello friends in blogland...

It is the last day of the month, and -as such- we are showing off our Calendar Girls' creativiness...

This month is Miss February's turn to host (aka SCS: Miamikel4). She chose a fun theme for all of us, and here are her own words about this month's challenge:

 
*~* Share the LOVE! *~*
"It’s February, the month of LOVE ♥ I’m thrilled to be your hostess this month and offer you a challenge of a different sort Rather than go for the traditional Valentine’s card, I wanted to ask that you each make a card – as a reflection of yourself – and share a little LOVE! This month, please create a card (or project) that shows what YOU love … something that when we look upon your card, we will know exactly what that ONE thing is that you love so much!
(For example, maybe sporty LJ will have something on with the Badgers on her card (just sayin’!) or Darlene may have gorgeous feathered friends gracing the front of hers … you get the idea! )
*You may use any colors you would like but extra brownie points for using non - traditional colors!!
* Please include one thing only – I know it’s hard {However, if it's fruit, for example, you may include a basket of it rather than just one fruit}..."

Kelly's  fabby challenge
had me going in dozens of possible different directions...I literally have several stamping sets piled up on my table showing some coffee cups/mugs/beans/ (LOVE my espresso-several times a day!-)..other stamps reflect anything chocolate!! yummola!! 
the darker the better,not milk choc. for me...although if  U must insist I;ll have that too...lol...and of course there must be books as well,  and there pop up a couple book related stamps as well.....mmmm...how about the outdoors....or  travelling...or gardening ...or....photographing...etc etc...U get the idea! Well, I thought I was settling for any one of the above....but then I came across a lil neglected old set (I love the older SU sets!) with children in mind and ...bingo! I just knew I had to use THIS stamp ♥
To me it represents my 4 loving and lovable grandchildren...all of them a wonderful gift from God above, to compensate us for growing old -as one of my friend used to say...  ;o)

  The following  part is optional, 

this is what Kelly wrote:

 
"YOUR BONUS CHALLENGE: As a extra bonus, but completely optional part of the challenge, I would LOVE for you to send your card to a place/organization that you LOVE. ♥ Share the LOVE ♥ this month by sending your card to someone in need – OWH, children’s charities, RMH .. the possibilities are endless. Know that somewhere out there, your generous mailing of your card could bring a smile to someone in need Have fun creating and crafting and I so look forward to sharing the LOVE with you this month! ♥ "

I left my card blank for now, until I decide exactly whom to gift it to...I have a couple ideas in mind though....;o)

I hope you enjoyed my take for this month's fun theme....
Thank You for a great challenge Kells!
