"Dear to My Heart" at The Shabby Tea Room

What a fun week this will be at The Shabby Tea Room!  Not only did Audrey pick a super fun theme, Just Rite Stampers is our sponsor in the Tea Room this week!  I have admired their stamps for a LONG time and now I have some to play with...how much fun is that?

Audrey decided that it was time to pay homage to hearts and, thus, the theme "Dear to My Heart."  She is challenging us to use a heart as our main focal point.  Sounds easy enough, right???  That's what I thought too...  Turns out it wasn't so simple.

I went through my DP for some inspiration and found my Basic Grey Kioshi paper that I thought would be fun to use again.  I glittered up some of my grungeboard hearts, found a Papertake Weekly sketch and...

Recipe - Stamps: Girl Time 2" Stamper (Just Rite Stampers)
Paper: Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Basic Grey Kioshi 
Ink: Perfect Plum
Accessories: Paper piercer, grungeboard, glitter, Mod Podge, Nestabilities, ric-rac, Leafy Branch embossing folder

As you can see, my hearts are NOT my focal point.  I originally had the hearts where the sentiment is but realized a little too late that I was going to have to switch them around...whatever!  I think the green glitter is a bit dark in the picture but it isn't that dark IRL.

I hope you'll take some time to play with us - you could be our Shabby Tea Room winner of a $25 Gift Certificate from Just Rite Stampers!!!  Make sure you stop and check out what the rest of the DT did with hearts:
