Be Mine..Valentines for the Grandchildren
Hello my crafty friends, Christmas is over and put away. Our son has left and went back to their homes with the grands and we are finally getting back to our somewhat new "normal". I say our new normal because of hubby's chemo treatment every other week. That will be part of our normal for 6 month, so our "new" normal. Hubby is working this week part time so that gives me some normal time with him being gone and it give him some normal time because it is something that he had done for over 30 years. The week of treatment he does not work, the cold sensitivity is too much since he works in the cold most of the time holding cold tools and such. So now that we are back to our new normal, I got some extra crafty time in my room. I had colored some images that I stamped and thought I would make them into some Valentine cards for the grands. I think these stamps were Penny Lane stamps, not sure but they were blog candy that I had won some time ago and this is the first time I've used them. I plan on stamping the other stamps in this set as well. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color these little cuties and cut them along with a red base with SB dies as well as embossed the white layer. Then I used the Mojo Monday sketch #327, love sketches as I don't have to think! lol I popped my little cuties up on SU dimensional"s. My sentiments came from My Creative Time Lots of Love stamp set, my hearts came from My Creative Time Stitched Heart Layering dies, the cute little edge design on the girl card is My Creative Time the Stitched Mini Frame and Arrow die, and on the boy's card I used My Creative Time Stitched Fun Ticket dies. The inks I used are Hero Shadow inks in Pale Tomato and Cup of Joe. Love, love this inks! All papers are scraps from my scrap bin, or snippets as my sweet Momma Mary calls them, except my card bases. Both cards are the same on the inside. Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me. I hope you enjoyed yourself, I know I enjoy having you here! Crafty hugs, Brenda
