MCT 23rd Edition Sneak Peek: Key To My Heart

Love is in the air...

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you know that I'm a big fan of leaving little love notes around for The Hubs to find. Valentine's Day is no different - well, Valentine's WEEK. Every year, my beloved receives a new card/candy/baked good/something special every day for the week leading up to the BIG V-Day.



This little 3x3 card is a small, but sweet way to remind him how much I love him (and also to remind him that Valentine's Day is approaching and he should probably be thinking of something sweet to do for me. Let's face it, ladies: sometimes they need a little memory boost, right? *giggle*).

I used the brand new MCT Stitched Chunky Jar Dies (I used the handle from one of the jars as my 'key ring') and the sentiment and keys from Chunky Jar Accessories. A little patterned paper and bling give this simple card some pizzazz.

Great card. I bet your hubby loves these little notes (I found out after 30 years my mom still writes a little note for my dad in his mustard on his sandwich). Teeheee.

Cute caard....love the hanging keys.

quilt4fun2 said...

I was happy there were 2 keys...wow there are 3 and what you did with the jar handle as a ring...well hubby will love this card. Maybe I am doing the Valentine thing all wrong by following my hubby's lead to be very low key about this holiday...maybe next year mine will get little reminders leading up to it. Thanks for the idea...have a great Valentines Day and great job on your card.
