Week #12 - 'Dear to my Heart"

Using a heart as the main focal point or spotlight of your design, create a card or project for the Tea Room challenge this week!  We're excited to see lots of hearts ... get creative ... use heart embellishments, heart patterned papers, heart stamps, heart shaped cards -- anything goes!

Note:  You must use the Week #12 challenge requirements and DIRECT LINK your project back to The Shabby Tea Room in order to be considered for the weekly prizes.  Please only link your submission for this challenge POST and not your entire blog or multiple project submissions.  Questions?  Contact me!

I am very pleased to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer, LIZZI DROEGE!  For those of you who are regular followers in the Tea Room, you will recognize Lizzi's gorgeous, scrumptious vintage work!  Lizzi's incredible design sense has earned her a few Tea Time Terrific Top Three and Winner honor's, including her win during our Week #4 Challenge - Embrace the White!  Please stop by Lizzi's blog when you have a minute and leave her a little {love}!
