Valentine Cards

I try, on special occasions, to make my own cards. It doesn't always happen, because I don't have a place where I can set up a craft area and leave it. So I have to haul everything up to the kitchen, set it all up... be creative... and then clean it all up before the next meal. Usually, I am also cooking dinner, baking, or doing laundry etc.. (or all of the above). Then add in little fingers that are very tempted to touch everything and wander off with my stuff.... well... lets just say it has been a very long time since I pulled out my card making stuff! So today is Valentine's Day. A couple days ago, while V was sleeping, **cough, playing in her bed, cough**, I pulled it all out and set it up. Of course I was also making dinner. I was playing around with a new technique that Charity taught me. And then started to put together a card for the love of my life. I got it 1/2 done, when it was time to clean up before D got home from work and it was time to eat dinner. yesterday, I pulled it all out again, while V was sleeping **cough**, and finished my card. Not being happy with it... I started a whole new card. Which I also finished. I am not totally happy with either, but it is now the day for which they are required, and I have much else to do, so I have to chose one. Anyways.... here they are.... (I have a tendency towards simple designs. partly by preference, and partly from lack of resources and ability. lol)



With this second card, I also made something on which to write a poem. Not really feeling creative in the poem writing area. But I like the colors better... More... Valentine's appropriate.


I still don't know....
