Happy Valentine's Day

2018-02-14T18:03:00.003-05:00

Boy I have really been behind the eight ball

for the last few holidays but

Especially for Valentine's Day

thought my co-workers were all going

to cry when I said I didn't think I would

be able to get any cards done...

luck for me a simple design and some

crazy stamping and I was able to pull it off...

NO TEARS AT WORK TODAY!

started with one of my favorite all time dies

Femme Frames

form Mama Elephant

ink the base with Tim Holtz

cracked pistachio

added some beautiful flowers from

Lawn Fawn

fab flowers

it's no wonder both of these are sold out

but they always come back in stock

Hope everyone has a sweet Day!
