Valentine's Day is closing in on us!!

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post....so much has happened...well not really but it sounded good! I started today saying I was not going to let another day go by without a blog post...so here I am! Sorry I spaced on you guys last week, starting with Saturday, January 31st I was sick. What started out with a bad headache on Saturday quickly progressed into the full blown flu on Sunday. I spent two whole days in bed....only getting up to go to the bathroom, I barely ate at all. I didn't leave the house until last Friday, and that was because it I had to!! Last week was awful, but now I'm better. Now my husband is sick and on the couch!

I did manage to make a few Valentine Cards on Friday night. The two pictures below are one of them, I just love that stamp from Stampington, don't you? For this card, I stamped the image using Staz On on regular white cardstock, then painted it using a combination of watercolor paints and Rose Glimmermist. When it was dry I cut it out, and added it to the top of this little collage. A little fancy stitching using my sewing machien and pink thread added a lot of texture to it. Instead of sewing the button on I used my Hot glue gun. This one has a little tab at the top so it can be hung after VDay.

That's all for now, I've got a lot of assignments that I need to get caught up on this week! I'll leave you with these lovely cupcake bite Valentine treats I plan on making for my Little V to take to school on Thursday. Let's hope I get all my assignments done in time so I can!

  2. Catherine,
    Sorry to hear you have been sick. Your card is awesome as usual. Did you buy the white scalloped part or is it a die cut?

I absolutley loved your article 'Textured Scenes' in the recent Sew Somerset. Gorgeous!...especially the piece with the little boy. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful pieces. Can't wait to see what you do next. Have a great weekend :)
