Valentines cards

Surprise everyone, I am back....I am so glad to be back making cards. I have made several cards over the last few months but I just haven't posted any of them. Wow, what a huge turn my life has given me...It is very true that God never gives you anything that you can't handle. And if the ol saying about what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger is true, then I am telling you that I am the strongest person alive. lol..... Anyway, hopefully I will be back posting on a regular basis now. These are a few of the cards that I worked on last week. I needed to make several Valentine's cards so these are what I cam up with. Some are not complete yet. I just have to decide whether I am going to put Love or Happy Valentine's Day across the front of them. I also wanted to take this time to thank all of my friends that have sent me emails wanting to know where I was. I don't know how I would have made it through this last year without you.

romantic card in black and creme

I think this could possibly be one of my favorite romantic cards that I have made. I am really proud of how this one turned out. First of all I absolutely love this paper, OMG, it is so pretty....and it is all Donna's M's fault that I bought it too. This is from the DCWV creme stack. this particular piece that I used on this card is flocked. I really do wish you could see it in person, it is the greatest paper. I actually bought the stack to do pages in my wedding scrapbook but I had to do a card with it first. Now I may have to buy another pack for my scrapbook and use all of this pack for cards. I wish also that you could see the center heart. It just sparkles The heart is from the wedding cart cut on 4", both on shift and regular cut. I really like the look of the center of the heart, it was super easy but the final look is really great. I went around the entire piece of white paper with stickles then I took white glitter and sprinkled it all over the heart. The stickles dry raised so the heart looks like it has a raised glitter center. It really is pretty in person. Then I used the jasmine corners and added black stickles to those, the love is from Beyond Birthdays and the butterflies were MS, and they are layered and then I added white stickles. Even Todd said this is one of my prettiest, which is a lot coming from him. Usually I get that is real pretty sweetheart. This one he actually did a good bit of commenting on. Made me feel good. I hope you like it too and please leave me a comment, I love to read them.
