Puppy Love

I made two versions of this card for our grandchildren.

This is the boy version.

Unfortunately, I put the girl version

in the envelope and sealed it

before I thought to take the picture.

My other issue is I had to have the hard drive

replaced on my laptop and in the process

I have lost the program my camera downloaded to

and I have lost the ability to add my name to 

the front of my photos.

Sheesh!  I hate change.

This sweet puppy is from My Favorite Things

and is called Puppy Love.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sending Big Bear Hugs

This is a CASE of one of Betsy Veldman's beautiful cards.  I was pressed for time and this design was very easy to mass produce.

I am loving this little bear!  The set comes with several little things he can hold in his paws and makes it perfect for many occasions.

You're Still the One

When I saw the sentiment "You're Still the One" on the MFT site, I was so excited!  My husband and I love the "Oldies" songs and years ago a group named Orleans had a hit called "You're Still the One."  I knew this would be perfect for my hubby's Valentine.

I love the Heart Art set from MFT.  The hearts remind me of conversation hearts.  I stepped away from the traditional red, pink and white and decided to go with a softer color palette.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Your kind comments are always appreciated.

You're Still the One

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know after all these years
You're still the one, I want whisperin' in my ear

You're still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

I looked at your face everyday, but I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
(Wanted to go)
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow

You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along 
We're still having fun
And you're still the one
(Yes, you are)

Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new

You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

You're still the one
Yeah, still the one
We're still having fun
And you're still the one

Just Us Girls #329 - Word Week

This time at Just Us Girls it's Word Week.  Vicki is our hostess and she has chosen the word Valentine as our inspiration.

We are, also, welcoming Pamellia Johnson as our Guest Designer for the month of February. Welcome, Pamellia!  Be sure to drop by her blog and leave some love.

I feel like I have been playing catch up for a month now.  My mom has been in and out of the hospital twice in the month of January with renal failure.  They are still trying to figure out what is going on with her.  I've had to turn my attention elsewhere and haven't gotten in much crafting time. I usually work several challenges ahead and now I am barely making the cut.  I hope things improve soon.

I started with an embossing folder from Darice called Hearts Diagonal and made my background using Kraft card stock.  Then I went crazy with some fun dies from Reverse Confetti.   The heart paper is one of their new All Heart Quick Card Panels.  The "love" die I cut three times in black and one time in black glitter paper and layered them.

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Pamellia, have made this week.  I hope you will be inspired and come play along.

If you win Chic of the Week in any of our February challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of April.  Good luck!
