Happy Saturday everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a good start! The sun is shining here and I think once this post is done I will grab my kitty and go take a nice long nap. The DH and I spent the morning at H&R Block getting our taxes done. Ick. Aren't you always so happy when that is over for the year? I know I am. Such a relief…and a nice tax refund coming to us in a few weeks. Gonna try and save the money… We will have our ten year wedding anniversary (18 years together) this year and we really want to try to save for a vacation to celebrate. It's been a good long while since we went on a vacay. Anyhoo…I seriously digressed right there. I have a card to share!
Today's card is a red hot number – a Valentine made with the mostest prettiest and cool paper and ribbon from American Crafts! I am a fan of their cardstock – as you know from a previous post. And this red/kraft designer paper is off the hook! The polka dot ribbon too! YUM.
As I have been prone to do lately…got out everything but the kitchen sink and put it on this card! Pretty red Prima flower, a glossy sticker, a heart brad, a doily and a red stick pin. The paper heart on the doily was cut out from the patterned background paper. Isn't that sweet?
I added glitter glue to the top of the rose petals to jazz it up. The horizontal element is a piece of red cardstock layered with some lace and then polka dot ribbon.
The circular piece is again – cut from the patterned paper. I could make fifty cards with this pretty paper. I shoulda bought more. The rule for 2011 is NO HOARDING…so I'm using it! hahaha.
I hope you have a happy heart today!
