I will love you always....

Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I hope you are all staying warm!! The days seem to be getting colder again and it looks like a freezing ice storm is predicted here for tonight into tomorrow. I may be iced in...

Today I would like to share a card I made for this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD which is to make a Valentine's Day card or a card with the Love theme (Anniversary/Wedding), that does not use pink or red. So for my creation I used lavender and purple.
