I just love this sketch at
Clean & Simple Stamping and I used it to create one of the 70 cards I am making for Valentine's Day. I'll post the story below the card so as not to bore you with the details if you aren't interested!
This is my card and I LOVE how it turned out! I love the Hugs and Kisses stamp with the heart bling dotting the "i" and I love how it over-lapped one of the squares. All of the paper and ribbon is PTI except the X and O square which is left over from last year purchases at Archivers. That's all I had left and of course the name isn't on the back! Sorry! The stamp is from Stampendous and is called Love Messages. I hope you like my card!
Here's a picture of 35 out of 70 cards I am making for an old folks home. My next door neighbor told me last year how she takes oranges to this nursing home in the country and the residents are so grateful. I asked if we could do something for Valentines Day. It's one of those holidays where no one really makes a big deal like Thanksgiving or Christmas. So last year I made cards for all of the residents and she brought cookies. We had a little party with the nursing home providing punch. She brought her 10 year old daughter and my 22 year old niece was in town. I made a different card for each person and put their name inside. Let me tell you we all wanted to cry at how thankful these people were. They couldn't get over that we took the time to come see them and bring the cookies and they couldn't believe the cards were made by hand. So that was it! I am hooked! I can't wait to take them their cards this year!

Look at all those Vday cards! Very nice. And for a very good cause. I donate cards to a nursing home too. Usually "hello" or "thinking of you".
