Love You More!   That is what I used to say to my boys when they were little and I would put them to bed.  I'd say "Mommy Loves you so much!"   Then they would reply, "We Love You mommy," and I'd say "I Love You More!".  So when I saw the Love You More stamp set it connected me to a precious moment in time.    Then I found this Vertical hearts stencil and just had to give it a try, especially since Valentines Day is around the corner!   

Don't you just LOVE taking something new that you purchased and work with it?  It's like Christmas Morning!    Next to Christmas Valentines day is one of my favorite holidays.  Jesus commands us to love one another and Valentines is all about LOVE!   So I just had to reach for the new Stencil I had purchased from the ALD store.    I looked at it and immediately had an idea to use it with the Red and White Challenge over at the Dazzling Divas Challenge.  

The inspiration from this DIY Valentines Card came from the Dazzling Divas Challenge #9 and this stencil.

 You can PURCHASE THE STENCIL HERE.   The Dazzling Divas Challenge is  a red and white challenge.   Red and White is one of my favorite color combinations along with pink and black, cherry cobbler and early espresso, so I was pretty excited to take the plunge with this challenge!  I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
