Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is over for another year. I made 5 cards on Sunday afternoon for the grandchildren. They weren't anything extra special. But, one I really enjoyed making, because I used a digi stamp (FREE from Inger Harding) and that is something new for me and my new Copic markers. What do you think?

At our house we took advantage of the Valentine's Day special at Bob Evans. It was very good. This made our 37th Valentine's Day together...sweet memories. We saw several couple at Bob Evans eating that looked to have put in many more years than we have. It does the heart good to see these older couples our still enjoying each other on the day of LOVE.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you had a special Valentine's Day, with someone special whether it be your spouse, a friend, your children, parents or any other special person in your life.

I'd like to enter the following challenge:

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge- "Try Something New"

Only One Day Left!

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to make Valentine cards for the darling grandchildren! Fortunately, only two need to be mailed. So, in the end, I should met the deadline. Without a plan in my head, I started scrambling for Valentine themed stamps or basically anything I could find. You see, I didn't want to have to go out in the cold to the local Wally World to buy something. Then, jackpot!! I found these cute digi stamps I had downloaded around Christmas and wah-laa there were some really cute files for Valentine's Day.

The link for these adorable digital stamps is www.simplyinger.blogspot.com Oh! Did I mention they are FREE! So, if you are looking for some last minute Valentine stamps, here they are!

Have fun!

PS-I apologize for the poor quality of the picture of one of the stamps. Lighting is the next "honey do job." LOL

Be Mine

This is Granddaughter, Katelyn's, Valentine's Day card. At 4, she really believes she is a "princess" and loves all things that go with being a princess!

The crown, I designed and cut by hand (but you could probably tell that). The stickers were some I'd had for a while and the hearts and stars are again just some old stickers that were on hand. The heart I cut using a .svg file found at Wanda's.

Hope you have your Valentine cards made for all your "sweeties."

Thanks for stopping by.
