I seem to send more Valentines than I do Christmas cards but I'm getting a late start getting them made. I just bought two adorable Pure Innocence sets from My Favorite Things. I used the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #18.
See the grey Awareness Ribbon on the first card? Did you know the Awareness Ribbon representing diabetes and brain cancer is grey? I'm kind of partial to these ribbons since John has Type 2 Diabetes and my sweet friend, Janelle, is battling brain cancer. I also have a heart for purple Awareness Ribbons because they represent Alzheimer's, which my Mom suffered with for many years before she passed away. Did you know there are MANY Awareness Ribbons and one place you can see all of them is HERE
So, the first Valentine will go to my friend Janelle.
The second card will be for one of my daughters. I really love to color and/or paper piece these Pure Innocence images. I also added some Glossy Accents to the hearts on both cards for a bit of interest.
I've decided to join my friend, Susan, over on Simplicity to use every SINGLE, image I own. I imagine this will take at least a couple years. Today I'm using a lovely set from a company called Our Daily Bread. I should have a couple cards to share sometime soon.
Thank you for visiting today. Hope you are staying warm and cozy wherever you are.
