This is the card sent to us. This is what I came up with – what do you think? The image was stamped with Black Stazon onto our watercolor paper. I then colored in the petals with the… Read More »
Good Afternoon Crafters Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is our 30th anniversary and I decided to make a card that included both occasions. When we got engaged, we decided that I would pick the day and he would pick the location. Well, I picked Valentine’s Day because I thought it would be so romantic not knowing that my husband would pick Loveland Ski Resort (back then we skied a lot). Well,… Read More »

When you first see the beautiful Floral Heart Die, you may think it’s it for only Valentines, but it really can be used for so much more such as birthday, sympathy and thinking of you cards. For today’s project, I created a Happy Anniversary card with the die. I cased this idea from page 74 of the annual catalog and changed the colors. If you are new to card making,… Read More »
I guess I lied about making the last valentine card yesterday! I had one more to make and the most important one of all. When David proposed in 1992, we decided that I could pick the day and he would pick the place. I picked Valentine’s Day and he picked the Loveland Ski Resort. So we were married at Lift#2 at a small cabin nearby. Since it was at the… Read More »

Today’s card features the cute whimsical Storybook Occasions Stamp Set. All the animals in the set are sooooo cute! The reason I added Happy Anniversary instead of Happy St Patrick’s Day is because my husband and I had our first date on St Patrick’s Day in 1972. We dated briefly, broke up and went on to marry other people. We hooked up together again in 1986 but didn’t marry until… Read More »
