Happy 'Hearts' Week to you!

Maria Medeiros of CozyComfyCouch.

Maria has a most amazing blog that features
stunning photography.

.  Here's what Julie Ranae had to say about this week's colors:

"Over the past few weeks, we have been inspired to create Valentines using less traditional colors, so I thought for this week, we would go 'old school' with a little silver twist.  

Yummy heart-shaped red-hots were always a staple
at my grade-school parties...how about you?"

ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAY! 
We want you to enjoy this challenge, so interpret the colors the way you see them. We are not using specific card stock color names nor brands for our challenges, so you can really break out of the box and have some fun. What we do ask is that the colors that are in the challenge be OUR focal colors...when using additional colors, please limit them to neutrals. You are welcome to combine challenges, but we do ask that 1. They be used for the first time here 2. You mention in your post that you are playing (better yet, display our color challenge photo) and 3. OUR colors are the focus of the card.
