Happy Heart day!


I heard that on the radio today. Not "I love you", it was "I heart you." I think it is dorky to talk in text. I mean, how lazy are we really? Don't answer that!
Here are some fun Valentine cards I made this week for people I LOVE. :o) I used an idea I got at my leadership Shoebox swap. It was so cute and easy! We did this card at my stamp a stack last month too. It was quite the hit. When I decided to finally sit down and make my Valentine cards, I pulled out all the supplies and realized that I didn't buy the stamps and punch! I know! We had used Sheri's stuff! Oh well....opportunity for creativity, right?


Check out how I modified the card to what I had on hand. Not too shabby! I Stamped the heart from Always with Versamark and embossed it with white and then carefully lined up the new Jumbo heart punch inside the always heart and punched it out. It isn't the same size or even shape, but if you are careful, you can get a cool heart out of it. For both cards, the hearts are stamped and embossed on red cardstock and then punched out. I punched the same hearts out of the front of the card and then glued the punched hearts through the holes in the front of the card so, you can see them from the front of the card and also when you open the card.
yay for plan that comes together! I added a strip of DSP to the left side to fill it in a bit, but other than that, it is almost the same card!
Have a "lovely" day! I hope to spend some time with my sweetie!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for...
