Happy Valentine's Day!
I had to scour my photo files to find a Valentine that I hadn't posted yet here on my blog. If you had a chance to stop by the DRS Designs blog last month, you may have seen it there, but if not it's new to you :) It also serves as inspiration for the current challenge of "make your own backgrounds" on the DRS blog.
This Valentine Tree and One Line Valentine's Day sentiment are from the last release and the Interlocking Hearts background is my go to stamp for lovey dovey themed cards.
I added lace, gemstone flourishes and velvet rick rack for embellishments. DRS Designs has just released a new group of stamps for Spring and Easter, so be sure to click here to check them out :)
Our Valentine's Day plans are always pretty modest, so for us it's usually just exchanging cards and or a dinner. Unfortunately my hubby has to attend a wake today. A co workers parent passed away, so real life takes precedence. We are looking forward to this coming weekend though. With it being President's Day on Monday, it's a long 3 day one...Woo Hoo!
However you may celebrate today, make it happy!
