I love Valentines


Valentines are my favorite card making time of the year. I think I like it even better than making Christmas cards, maybe because the time of year is less hectic. I made about 5 Valentines most of them using this set called Hearts, Hearts, Hearts from Mark's Finest Papers. I am sharing only one of them here. I hope to put the others over on Splitcoaststampers. The brass heart is something I've had for a long time. I bought them at First Monday Trade Days in Canton many years ago to use on some other craft projects. My new year's resolution is to deplete the hoarded collections around my house. I'm also working on depleting my scrap pile. I used two scraps for this card from that pile. Yea, me!!
The design paper I used on this is from Basic Grey's Olivia collection. I used it on three of my other cards I made tonight too. I love a black and white combo with red or pink or both thrown in like it is on this one.
