We promised something special for this week's Dare and here it is:
This week we're joining forces with the wonderful team of Scrapbookers over on the Everyone is Speshal blog. We're daring each other and you to make a Really Romantic Scrapbook Layout - but on a card!
Is the Valentine's Card you make for your OH usually the last minute, hurried one you make when all your orders are done and you've stocked whatever sales outlets you have, or maybe you're a naughty naughty scrapbooker who actually goes out and - shock horror, BUYS your Loved One's card?
Well make this year different, try our Dare and stun your Beloved with your creative excellence - make their eyes pop out with pride, or tears stream because you made something special just for them.
And there's no excuse not to join in if you've no Significant Other right at this minute, because you can make the card you'd be wowed to receive - or love to send. We all have Special Moments and Special People in our lives so join with the DCM and the Speshal Team and let's Celebrate the Romance.
This week you have lots of cards to look at for inspiration below are those from the DCM, but don't forget to pop over later today and check out the Everyone is Speshal Blog to see how they rose to this lovey-dovey challenge!
Don't forget - we love to see your cards and all the info on how to join in with the fun is at the bottom of this post.
Right, Are you ready? Go Create! We Dare You.

Ummm, as I've already made my OHs Valentines Card (see Through the Round Window aperture challenge!), would anybody mind if I did a 6x6 scrapbook page instead - seeing as I'm a scrapper too....?
You can scrap or card (why is there no equivalent verb?)it doesn't matter - just play!

Really awesome cards girls! I have done my one - it is the first time I've made one BASED on your challenge!
Mine doesn't have a pic - because I wanted to prove to someone I know that you don't NEED a photo / pic to scrap the memory!
I enjoyed this HEAPS.
