We were so busy all weekend that we didn't have a minute to stop. My son had a basketball tournament and I must say he played EXCEPTIONALLY well. I was such a proud mom!! Now that the weekend is over, it's back to school and midterms start at the end of this week. With all of the grading on the horizon, I am sure I will not get a lot of good quality crafting time, so I took a little while this evening to get into the upcoming holiday spirit. Love is in the air. Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I wanted to create a card to celebrate! I LOVE "punny" cards and this sentiment was perfect for a mother/child Valentine. I hope you like it as much as I do :) I went into my stash this week and found the fabulous Sweet Stack from DCWV. I have had it for quite some time and realized it was perfect for Valentine's colors and designs!! I also pulled out my Stickles for the first time in a while. I have been working with loose glitter and thought it would be nice to go back to the Stickles for a change.
