This is my 2011 Valentine's Day card that I made for friends and family. My 2 daughters love dinosaurs right now, so I decided to ink up this cute set, Kid at Heart, from Taylored Expressions. Such a fun set!

This week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room is "Get Creative". Create a card with no patterned paper or manufactured embellishments. Wow! That was truly a challenge for me! At least I could use my friend, the Cuttlebug! :) I decided to make my hubby a Valentine's card. Men - less is better on their cards!!

Random Cards...

I decided to make some cards for my parents, for part of their Christmas gifts. I made 4 of each. The Valentine's card is based off a sketch from Clean & Simple, from a while ago. The Mother's Day card is CASED from one I saw on SCS. The Birthday card is using the *new* dies and stamp set from PTI - Banner Builder. LOVE THEM!!! So fun to work with!! :)

Valentine's Cards for OWH

There is a challenge going on over at Operation Write Home. Archway cookies is pairing up with OWH. The more Valentine's cards that OWH receives, the more Archway cookies will be sent over to the troops. I would really love if my brother got some cookies! So in the midst of my busy life, I stopped everything and made 100 Valentine's Day cards for OWH. They are super simple, but fitting for any troop missing their loved one miles and miles away.
