Kellie (MDUC Boss Lady) and Kristy (MDUC Mini Boss) have kindly let me off making a card for this challenge which is VALENTINE'S DAY. You see my father passed away suddenly on Valentine's Day when I was 18 and it is just a day my mother, sisters and I have had trouble celebrating ever since. It's a personal thing but I did want to explain why I don't make Valentine's cards - and I'm sure you'll understand!
The next generation celebrate the day - and for that I am thankful. I also LOVE to see the wonderful creations my fellow crafters come up with so I'll still be popping by to check out the entrants for the challenge.
Now if you ARE hoping to see some AMAZING inspiration for this challenge I HIGHLY recommend you pop over to the Magnolia Down Under Challenge Blog and check out what the rest of the fabulous DT have come up with for your viewing pleasure. You can check out the fabulous Magnolia paper pack you could win too!
I also want to mention that MDUC is having a Guest DT call HERE - so check it out if your interested - you have until the end of January 2010 to apply for a 6 month position - go ahead - we're a friendly bunch - LOL.

Congratulations on your win Debbie, looks like some fun goodies. Sorry, I didn't realise that your dad passed away at such a young age. I can understand about the Valentines Card, I dont make mothers or fathers day cards.
