Good morning everyone I hope your all well...its has been pouring from the heavens here for about five days, I think the apocalypse is creeping up on us don't you lol...with today's card my mind has been wondering about Valentines day I did a bit of research about it and found out the history of it is shrouded in myths and mysteries...if you want to read about it click here for some info...do you celebrate Valentines?, we don't usually as my darling Phil is the best Husband ever but doesn't have a romantic bone in his body bless him, but I really don't mind as he makes up for it everyday by just being there and being him...anyway it shouldn't be just one day that you show you love each other should it...I will give you an example of non romantic Phil...when we were first married I made everything for one valentines...I made a cake covered in hearts made loads of cut out heart confetti, you name it I did it...Phil came in from work enjoyed his specially cooked dinner and cake admired all the decorations etc then said 'lovely but what's all this about then?' lol...I think that's the last time I did it...right now onto my card for today and you will never guess what it is lol...yes Valentines card of course...how cute is this Wild Rose Studio - Bella's Valentine sweetie...perfect for any card to show you love someone...I coloured it with distress inks as always and teamed it up with these lush papers from the Wild Rose Studio 6 x 6 Paper Pack - Always and Forever pack...they are so so pretty aren't they...I finished my card with some pretty pink gingham ribbon, a tiny heart charm from the Set of 6 Heart Charms and some lush Mini Open Roses - Pink everything except the ribbon is from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...the fab sketch is from the Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge and I'm also entering it for the Sweet Stampin challenge and Crafting When We Can challenge too...I'm having a nice snug warm crafting day today and I think I will make a cake too...I'm in the mood for a bit of Victoria sandwich sponge yum yum...whatever your up to have a brilliant one

So pretty Mina, love the cute image, beautiful papers and details..my hubby was as romantic as a block of wood...but he did try once...bought me some flowers and was told he was 2 days early, so hid them in the boot of the car till the day...yep...dead as door nails, but the thought was there..lol..

HI Mina, thank you so much for your sweet words on my art journal. I'm a newby on art journaling, but I so enjoy it. I took a class with Donna Downey last weekend, she came over from America and she not only brilliant but such a lovely person too! Anyhow, I came to check out what you've been up to and I just love your valentinecard! The image is very cute and of course your papers scream out valentine! Would you believe hubby booked us a hotel in Paris for valentine? That's romantic for you LOL! Hugs Frea
Aaah what a sweetie, Luv Sam x
That is so cute Mina I love the pink and all the embellishments youve used. My hubbies the same but we have been married 52 years so that must say something.
