I wanted to try the challenge over on Card Positioning Systems this week to make John's Valentine card. I've had some leftover goodies from a kit I got a couple years ago from Taylored Expressions and they worked even though it doesn't look masculine. There's no stamping on this card. I did, however, cut out a flower and added a brad to the center and adhered it over the top of the large red flower for interest. I also added a brad to two of the other flowers. If you want to see the other entries or enter one yourself, go HERE.
This is a large card measuring 8" x 5" so that I could accommodate the sentiment layer. I thought I would print off a photo of the two of us and put inside.
I'm working on a really cute hot chocolate holder/Valentine that I'll share with you tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a few of them made but they are a bit time consuming. Worth it, though.
My kitchen cupboard painting project is slowly getting underway. Removing all of the hardware and sanding is not fun. Yep! It's going to take me a month to get this job done. I can only handle working on it for a few hours a day.
Today I begin a quilting class. The class lasts 4 days and is taught by a friend of mine. She did the finishing work on the quilt I made my grandson for Christmas. I'll share my progress on that too as it happens.
It's really windy here this morning and warmer again. Such weird weather this winter.
Thank you for your visit.
Blessing from Yesterday: Several kitchen drawers emptied and readied for painting.

Love the combination of colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the red and turquoise together and a photo inside sounds a lovely idea :)
ReplyDeleteThe hot choccy holder sounds like an ideal pressie... look forward to seeing it :)

Love all the red in this card. I can't quite read all the sentiment, but LOVE says it all doesn't it? Good luck on the sanding. I don't envy you that for sure!
