When we were young, my mom would get out doilies, lace,
construction paper, stickers, ribbons--you know, the
good stuff--and let us have at it to make Valentines.
Well, I may be the mom now, but that doesn't mean I
can't still get out the good stuff and make some
Valentines, right?
I want to be able to actually mail these, so they're minus
the bulkier embellishments that can be so beguiling . . .
This fine young fellow is Rose Boy from
Lost Coast Designs, available at Blockheads.
He's my favorite stamp du jour, as you can see.
Isn't he a sweetie?
And offering up those roses, he's perfect for
Valentine's Day!
These two are for Word Art Wednesday--every week they
post a verse or inspirational quote you can use in your
art for a challenge (it doesn't have to be a card).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go make some more
Valentines . . .

Ooh, I've made a card with him that I haven't blogged yet - he's one of my fave images. Lovely stuff. We don't send Valentines in the UK, other than to our one special love, so it seems weird to me to be making so many, lol. That's what I love about Blogland - seeing the differences in cultures.
Really? We send them to relatives, give them to our children, to friends--anyone we love, so it's not just a romantic thing!

Hi there, I just love these Valentine cards! Here in the Netherlands valentine really isn´t a big thing unfortunately. Thanks for sharing you creations at Little Miss Muffet Stamps. Good luck in the challenge and hope to see you again soon.

Fun card series. He is so adorable :)
Wow so many cards!!! I'm in Australia and it's the same as what Cath said - you would only give a valentine to your "partner/spouse" so I really don't make many Valentine things either!! But I love looking at what everyone makes!!! Love all your cards - they are amazing!!

Wonderful cards- I love all of the different layouts and the great image you used! I did not get my Christmas cards out to everyone...., so made alot of Valentines cards to send out instead.....
Shelly, I am ashamed to say that I did not send out one single Christmas card this year. That's happened before, but then I send AFTER Christmas cards, but it's so late in the game now, you've got the right idea--I'm sending everyone Valentines!!!
:)
love how you used that same image so mnay glorious ways! valentines are good for all the ones you love. hope yours will be fabulous. xo
Oh these bring back fond memories of making Valentines as a child.
The best part is without those bulky embellishments they don't cost as much to mail and their Darling!!!
That's using your head girl!
Hugs Lynn
Trish- do you need my address...LOL I forgot to say....Thanks for joining the Belli Challenge!
I popped over to say hi as I noticed that you'd made a card with the same stamp as I have and got a big surprise to see so many - so varied too.
They all look really gorgeous Trisha.
