Happy Valentine's Day Eve
Hello, My Friends!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Are you ready?!? Since Ken and I have been married 21 years, we've seen many Valentine's Days. My only request for the day? Dinner at the best restaurant in town! Olive Garden! :)
I'm not a "I need flowers" kind of girl. (They die too soon...) Plants?....nah....I manage to kill them. Jewelry? No way. I can't imagine spending so much money on a trinket I can buy for $12 some where! ;)
I'm easy. Feed me and I'm happy! :)
Here's an adorable card I found in the gallery by Rose Marie in Puerto Rico....
She used the candy2share stamp set to create this card! :) ....{by the way...did you know?!? Our Gallery has over 4100 ideas using our stamp sets! Just click on the stamp sets you have, and check out projects using those stamps!}
Rose Marie, thanks for sharing your card with us using the candy2share stamp set! Email me if you would like a special blinkie to add to your blog! :)
So, what are you hoping for on Valentine's Day? Flowers? Candy? Jewelry? Or are you like me? Simple and easy....do you just want a good meal? ;)
Hugs!

Quote2love Frame
Hello, My Friends!
Design Team Member, Kim Howard has a beautiful frame to share with us today! :)
Instructions:
1. Choose frame based on size of your picture (10 x 13 frame and 5 x 7 photo in example)
2. Choose matting colors for picture, sentiment and background of frame
3. Stamp Sentiment from quote2love from The {Stamps} of Life in Color Box by Stephanie Barnard-Licorice color
4. Layer sentiment and picture on chosen colors and adhere to frame
5. Create flowers by cutting multiple sets of different sizes and multiple colors of the Flowers Framelits from Sizzix.
6. Once you have cut out multiple sets, lay the flowers out, spritz them with water and carefully crumple them. Once you have let them dry (I let mine dry crumpled up), undo them carefully and layer them on one another using glue dots.
7. For the leaves, I stamped a Memento Dew Drop in Pear Tart directly on to my paper and cut it out. Adhere all flowers and leaves using glue dots onto frame.
8. Add Viva Pearl Pen in Gold and half back pearl to center of flower.
Hugs,
Stephanie
