Is this too much?

It's not as if I don't have a stock of thank you cards at my fingertips. I had to make a new one. While I originally liked it, I am beginning to have second thoughts.

Is it too much? Maybe I shoulda left the butterfly off? I do like the white pencil on the kraft paper though.

Well, I will send it off and hopefully the person who gets it will like it.

I hoped you all enjoyed the tease of spring we had on Friday.

Have a creative week!

Pretty in Pink

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone. Hope you all can spend it with the ones you love best!

One day and counting!

Even though it is the 13th, today is the day I celebrate Valentine's day. All my cards are made, presents are bought and dinner is planned. I guess I am ready.

George loves the cuter cards so I couldn't resist the "Blowing Kisses" set from StampinUp.

Come back tomorrow for the last of the Valentine's cards.

Love.....

 

Not Long Now....

Valentine's Day will soon be upon us. I usual cook a special meal on Valentine's Day for George and wait to go out to dinner another time. I asked him what special meal he wanted and he always asked for fettucini alfredo. Not only do I not like fettucini alfredo but it is so easy to make. I gotta make something a little labor intensive. It is a special holiday! Poor guy he isn't getting fettucini again this year.

 Valentine's should be the same, labor intensive! It is a special holiday and it is for thse special folk in your life.

So I put the Memory Box stamps away and pulled out all my heart and love related stuff and have started to play!

You know me, I have to have at least one card with a bird on it! Hope you enjoy this card. Come back later in the week for more love cards!

More Memory Box Love

A breath of spring as well as Valentine's all rolled into one card. Here I am trying to use all the new MB stamps in one card. So forget being clean and simple!

I wasn't sure if I like this card but it is growing on me. It is nice to see a Valentine card that isn't red.

Have a great week all!

Do You Remember......

this card I posted in December before our puter crashed....

This was the $87.00 card that entered in the Paper Source Holiday card contest. Well as of last week I still hadn't heard anything about the contest. In fact I had kinda forgotten about it.

Last night I was on the puter and said to George I never heard from Paper Source about who won the contest. I no sooner said that when the phone rings. It is the corporate office of Paper Source in Chicago telling me I won the card contest! How weird is that?!!

So my $50.00 gift card will be sent to me, so I guess the card only cost me $37.00!

But hey it isn't about the money huh? We do it because we love stamping! We will spend just about anything to create that perfect card. Remember the early days when you thought making cards was going to save you money- boy were we suckers!!

More Valentine's

I was hoping to have more to show all of you, but I spent the last 2 days in bed (and in the BR) with a serious GI bug. I didn't think this was suppose to happen to a GI nurse. Shouldn't we be immune to that sorta thing? Colds, flus, eye infections yes but GI no way!

This card was for my class that obviously was cancelled this past weekend at One Little Spark in NJ. I have it rescheduled for Feb 12 at 12noon if any of you can make it.

This is my best attempt at clean and simple but we are still talkin' at least 2 layers.

Stay tune for more love, now that I am on the mend.
