Morning Peeps, our new theme at Allsorts has been chosen by Lolo and is ''All about Hearts' just in time for Valentines Day. February come from WOWVOW, Craft Stash, AALL and Create and Ruth Hamilton Design, you can find a photo of all those up for grabs on the challenge blog.
I pretty simple card at the top using AALL and Create Fragile Fragments stamped in black Clair and some of the hearts stamped a second time, coloured and decoupaged and words added from Power of the Word, a set I use over and again so much so I keep a bag of the words stamped and cut out ready in different colours. All the 'add on's' were offcuts so I figure I should pop over to the Snippets Playground with this one.
I've made a second one using Ruth's Tulips on a die cut heart, a background using A&C Patches stamped with Versafine Clair Tulip and a sentiment from my Moments stamp set.
Thought I would share the view which I always intend catching on my phone camera but am usually too slow, yesterday I was quick enough. There are four steps up from the conservatory which provides a perfect viewing platform every time they hear us come through the gates. Once they know we are safely into the grounds they rush to the front door to greet us. Right to left, baby Rosa, Holly and Daisy, Poppy the Terrier invariably gets lost in the rush although first through the door when we open it.
Happy weekend all and my thanks as always for your kind visits.

Two lovely cards full of hearts and spring tulips. Your welcoming committee looks pleased to see you!
Two super heart cards and great that you shared the picture of your welcoming committee - lovely to come home to 😀
Two fabulous Valentine's day cards and a wonderful picture of your girls
I love that great AALL and Create stamp. The additional hearts bring the card to life, and I am like you, I have a stamp set that I use over and over so much that it never gets put away from my stamp table. I should get a second set of it so if I ever lose one, I have a replacement.
Those tulips are gorgeous, and I love them in the big heart too.
Awe your sweet fur babies are so happy to see you.
Two beautiful heart cards Brenda….,those adorable little faces looking out of the window lovely photograph ..have a good weekend

Two wonderful heart cards Brenda, especially like the colour scheme of the top one. Love that photo of your doggies, one looks really happy, one at the back looks a bit sad and the one in the middle is in between them both! Have a good weekend x
2 great Valentines, Brenda. Love seeing your dog family, they are obviously very happy at yours! x
beautiful cards Brenda and what a great photo

Two great cards brenda...I like the first one as it says it all, but somehow isn't slushy (if you know what I mean). Your tulips are beautiful and make a change from roses! great photo of your welcoming party too! xx
Beautiful cards Brenda, I particularly love the stylish layered hearts.
Pauline x
What a super way to be welcomed into your home! Get you in good spirits the moment you go in I think...
Your cards are beautiful, favorite is the first; love the way the hearts are not to much in "your face"... Enjoy the weekend!
Two beautiful cards Brenda, love the stamping and the sweet hearts on the first and the lovely tulip image on the second. Your photo made me smile so much, it looks as though they have been perfectly positioned ready for the photo.

Two beautiful romantic cards, Brenda. Great idea to keep several of the words ready to use, they make such a great addition to the first card. And I love how you used Ruth's tulips inside the heart! It's perfect for Valentines Day. I just got some Tulips in a pretty Magenta color, they are so nice to have this time of the year!
The dogs are so cute!!
Oooh this post of yours is stolen by your fur babies...the beautiful cards pale in comparison to the adorable coefficient presented by those darling faces!!!
Cheers, Dr Sonia
Both cards are beautiful Brenda- particularly the first one :)
How lovely to see those sweet faces waiting to greet you when you return home- your girls are just gorgeous! Isn't it lovely to get that warm welcome even when you've only been out for a short time. xx
I love that modern bold graphic first card - and gorgeous tulips on your sweet second card. But I'm afraid the stars of the post are the labs - fab photo.
Love that picture of the dogs, they look so expectant, brilliant. Your cards are pretty special too, especially the first one xx
Great cards, Brenda! and a fab pic of the dogs. Can hardly dare watch on Monday night.....
Such a cute welcoming party Brenda, and love your cards too, particularly the first one
Such beautiful cards Brenda with those gorgeous hearts and the beautifully coloured tulips. What a wonderful welcome home you get! Lovely photo of your girls. Vicky x
very beautiful cards!
oh you have so cute view!
hugs
ACH! The top card is awesome....well of course they both are!
It is so eye catching!
The honey comb stencil in the heart is great!
Your puppy picture made me LOL!
I am guessing Daisy is doing well!
Hope you're well!
Wow Brenda, la tua slimline è davvero fantastica!!! Adoro il design con i cuori a decoupage, la splendida palette e tutte le scritte! Originale e molto d'impatto!!
La seconda card è dolcissima e delicata con quello sfondo a stencil dentro il cuore e i bei tulipani! Come sempre sei fonte di interessanti ispirazioni, peccato che non ho abbastanza tempo per metterle in pratica... :(
I tuoi labrador mi hanno strappato una risata, che sguardi, dicono mille parole! :D
Qui notti gelide, ma di giorno le temperature stanno salendo e oggi sono apparse le prime rondini!
Abbracci!
Two beautiful cards and a gorgeous photo of your furry friends. The beauty of being short (the terrier) is you can get through all those long legs to get to the front.

Love the slimline card with the artsy look and fab colors and the tulips are lovely with the stenciled background. but the picture of the dogs just stole my heart! One is smiling, one looks sad and the other looks like "what's going on here?" Priceless :)
Two beautiful cards Brenda. It will be great to have such a welcome when coming honme. Marlies x
Both fabulous cards!
Lovely homecoming;-))m
Beautiful heart themed cards and such a lovely sentiment on the second one too. How wonderful to be greeted by such love and affection from your adorable four legged friend, that's a great photo.
Lorraine
OH! What gorgeous cards Brenda. The first is one, I think, is grown up and full of real love. Love the "memories" word on it. AW! Your second is so lovely with the perfect sentiment with the beautiful tulips and heart. Such incredible cards.
Faith x
Fabulous cards Brenda - love them both but the snippets entry really calls out to me - probably helped by the lovely vibrant pink as well. Super work - as always. And then at the end, the girls stole the show I'm afraid - what a welcoming committee!
Hugs

Two lovely cards Brenda, I love the added hearts, adds a great dimension.
Lovely to see your welcoming committee, they obviously miss you when you leave home.

Beautiful cards Brenda, but the one that captures my heart is the top one - that is stunning.
Love your babies all ready to welcome you home :)
Blessings
Maxine
What a nice greeting, can't wait to get home to my Rico.
Your 1st card is right up my street but both wonderful, love Ruth's tulips, xx
Fabulous slim line collage of hearts, Brenda, all formal and romantic in reds and blacks. And the love for tulips background is especially lovely with a double red texture and red frame. The sentiment, though, speaks volumes to me. How true it is that all life's journey remains as stories in our hearts. But I am most smitten by your fur children sneaking a peek for their mom and dad. Look at the individual expressions on each face! The expressiveness of your dear children's eyes is pure, adoration and love! THAT is love.
Wishing you a great "hump day"!
hugs,

Beautiful cards. What a nice funny picture. I love it.
Beautiful card and a lovely picture too, great welcoming committee Michelle
Gorgeous cards Brenda :-) the first one with the hearts is stunning!! I just love the whole design of that one.
Love the tulips too, very pretty and the stencilling and background are fabulous!
BUT the stars of this post are the pups! How adorable are they waiting for Mum & Dad to open the door, such a lovely welcome "where have you been?? you've been gone AGESSSS!!" ;-) haha :-D
Hope you have a great day!

Hi Brenda, these cards are stunning! I really love the way you've coloured the tulips and used the honeycomb background. Loving the doggies too x
Oh my goodness--that picture shows exactly why we doggy people have to have them in our lives! Such a greeting & I can just imagine Poppy rushing through the others to be first! Really beautiful cards, Brenda! The first one is amazing with so much detail but not cluttered like you sometimes see.
