I was a bit fidgety watching TV last night so I got our my Gypsy to go through my cartridges....and see if I could come up with any ideas...I just got the new Sentimental cartridge the other day and I love, love the stamp cut on it... and had Valentines on my mind and looked at the Sweethearts cartridge, which I haven't used very much.... and decided laid this card out really quick without thinking much of it... when I decided on the papers I wanted to use today I got really excited!!!... its a simple card...but the papers and the Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder on the balloons, the "love", and the couple really set this card off.... I am really really happy with how it turned out!!... hope that you like it too!!...I prayed to God for some card ideas...I told him I really needed this for my mental health....and he has been so good to me the last couple of day...always...but the last couple of days with my cards.... So I want to give God the credit for these cards and say "Thank you God so much for what you do for me!".... thank you so much for looking!... Hugs, Jeannie

I was pleased with this card when I finished... I said a prayer for a pretty card today.... and this is what I got. I was so excited when the shadow of the heart welded right in the swirly square... the sentiment came about because of the paper choice... the paper is what inspired the card.

Robby's Valentine

I wanted it to be special!!... because Robby is the love of my life, and has been for the last 29 years.... he spoils me rotten, still holds my hand, he lights up when I walk in a room...and I light up when he walks in a room... he still makes my heart pitter patter... he always kisses me good-bye and walks me to the car when I leave the house first... and the list goes on and on... I love him with all my heart!! ... I hope he loves his card!!... TFL~~Jeannie

Alabama/Auburn Valentines Cards

These seem simple I know...but they weren't maybe because they were so outside my box... I am terrible at shape cards for some reason... but in the end I was happy... as most of you know my kids are at opposing colleges...Madison at Alabama and John-Robert at Auburn so I am sure you can guess which card goes to who... I couldn't resist adding a little bit of humor to John-Roberts card (he is the class clown in the family)... so I added some bling to the tiger... see if you can find it....I wanted the cards to be a reminder of Elementary School Valentine's Days.... I hope that they are... Thanks for looking and I love your comments ~~Jeannie
