Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I hope you have a lovely day with your loved one, family, friend, neighbor and/or children. Our family celebrated Sunday and the boys called this morning to wish me a happy day. My granddaughter came yesterday and brought her roommate so she could make some cards too for her family.

Here is another Valentine for a sweet friend. It is a Sizzix heart die cut in red and white and layered on a kraft background. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. Have a wonderful day and be kind to one another.

Wow, two days in a row for me posting! This card is for my grandson in college. He puts them on his bullentin board so I stamped the love you teeny with a DeNami stamp so if the guys saw it they wouldn't tease him. The 14th stamp is Tim Holtz and it's just circles and the little hearts are Autumn Leaves. I thought is would be a good guy card. Be kind to one another.

We are back to 60 degrees today. It's hard to keep up with the temps. My card today is for my oldest granddaughter. I used a Memory Box Starry Night stencil and Cosmic Shimmer sparkle texture paste on navy SU cardstock. The stamp set is Altenew. Be kind to one another.

Tuesday it was 61 and today it is 3 degrees. My feet are frozen. I'm just popping in to share a Valentine for my youngest granddaughter. The sentiment is Simon Says Stamp and the row of hearts is Mama Elephant. The bow is red and white twine. Very simple. Be kind to one another.

Wow, what a game! The Pats did it with a remarkable comeback. If you haven't seen the end of the 84 Lumber commercial, you really need to.  Go to Journey84.com and click on complete the journey. If you missed it on tv, go to the journey84.com and click on the journey. It brought me to tears. I can see why they thought the ending was too controversial for tv and didn't show it.

Todays card is for the CAS mix Up card challenge by Bonnie and Loll. It is to use corrugated cardboard, stamping and one other thing. I die cut a heart from cardboard, painted it and smooshed gold inka gold on it. Then mounted it on a Wilson red heart doily and that on pattern paper by Simple Stories.  I stamped the sentiment by Simon Says Stamp and added a few red and gold star sequins. I used a die cut, cardboard, paint and inka gold. Be kind to one another.

I bubbled! I was lucky enough to win a prize from Lee Murphy and it came yesterday. One of the gifts was wrapped in bubble wrap and I immediately thought of Darnell's challenge using bubble wrap. So I got out my alcohol inks and my new Lawn Fawn octopi stamp and got busy. I mixed three colors of AI on my CK glass mat and smooshed the bubble wrap in it, then put it down on white cardstock to make the background. I thought bubbles would be a good b/g for the octopus. The sentiment is stamped on a Simon Says die strip. The c/s and ink is SU. I am entering this is in http://www.djkardkreations.com/2017/01/nbus-challenge-10.html.  Be kind to one another.

I'm working on my Valentines for the family. It seems to be taking me a long time but I'm keeping on. Todays card is a Simon Says Scribble Heart die and the Love and little heart are W plus 9 dies. A few black sequins and snippet of red shiny paper for the little heart.  I am going to pop over to http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/ and enter this card with it's snippet even though it is tiny. It looks like I won't be making the trip to TN for the funeral but other family is going so we will be well represented. I have a UTI that is kind of keeping me down for a few days but I'm taking my antibotics so will be fine soon. Be kind to one another.
