I love You ...

Since I don't speak French, I thought it best to find out before I place it front and center.  Jacqueline tells me it means "I Love You" ... thank you!  I adore the color red but mostly in more earthy shades ...  like those found in the autumn months.  However, when Valentines Day draws near - I can't get enough of red polka dots!


Digging through my scrap paper drawer I found plenty.  The paper used here is from the Love Letter set and is currently on clearance!  Beau Chateau Side Notes surrounded by a glittery frame provides the focal point.


Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon combined with a stripe of cranberry and white are tied tight with seam binding and string.  My numbers are stamped in Cherry Cobbler punched with the Jewelry Tag punch.  An old button and embellished stick pins complete the bow.


To finish I used Pinking Hearts Border Punch and a sweet red button tied with cotton twine.

It's always a joy to have you stop by - thank you!

  8. Oh, Joanne! This card and the previous one have me itching to get crafting again!! I don't want to wish the time with my kids away, but I am sooooo ready to create. We are spending the night in Indianapolis--right now I'm by the pool with my kids--tomorrow I get to sneak off to Archivers while Daddy swims with the kids!! Can't wait to get my hands on some pretty new papers!! LOVE your cards!!
