Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hugs & Kisses to my husband Scott and girls Courtney & Carly - they are truly my loves - oh! and don’t forget the dog MAX! Now I suppose today I can get a little sappy!!! Scott and I have been married almost 25 years - we will celebrate our anniversary the end of April. Yes, we’ve had our challenges but for the most part, we’ve been supportive and love each other. Although I don’t say it enough - I love you sweetie!!
I have to say too, I’m truly blessed to have wonderful friends that hold a special place in my heart - AND my brothers with their wives along with nieces and nephews AND my Mother. I’m very blessed to love and be love.
I’ve had a chance to play just a little - in between assignments - I’ve gotten a couple of new stamp sets from Artistic Outpost - they include “My Knight” and “Serenity”, had a chance to use more of my Basic Grey “Two Scoops”, Tim Holtz Grungeboard, and Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. I’m really diggin these two cards.
It’ really hard for me to get a good picture of bling or shimmer - but it’s there - for certain. A little extra information on the bird detail - I used a Heidi Swap ghost bird shape - put some VersaMark all over it and then black embossing powder - had to be a little careful since the ghost is plastic and kind of got a little soft and pliable when being heated - but once it cooled was perfect.Again, Happy Valentine’s Day - hugs!!! Enjoy and create, Lila
