For all who visit here today! This one's for you along with some big hugs.
Now for the rest of those heart cards:
(looks like the silver trim is coming off in this photo. I did press it firmly back down prior to mailing this card. The interior red backing is from a snippet of Gelli play with some sprays over it. Didn't photo all that well, as it does not look orange-y IRL. )
It's sunny here in Upstate South Carolina this morning. Windy though & quite brisk. We watched some tiny yellow finches at the bird feeder this morning. Each day their coloration is changing from the dull of winter to their spring feathers. Also saw quite a few of the finches with red heads...which are called purple finches in our area. Dunno why ...but that's what the locals tell me these are. DH just went out to shake up the Nyger seeds..they seem to be ignoring that in favor of the sunflower seeds. He thought perhaps their feeder had clogged. We'll see if they go back to the Nyger. It's too expensive to waste!!!
Have a grand day. Stay warm. (we're going to Olive Garden this evening for some good Zuppa de Tosca (potato soup) and the O/G salad. Not all that romantic as far as a restaurant goes, but we both like the food. My #2 Bro & SIL are going with us). Big Hugs.
Wowzer Mary, what a fabulous array of cards. Every one is beautiful too. Enjoy your meal tonight. Hugs Rita xxx

ReplyDeleteOh my...so many wonderful cards Mary. I love them all. But those sweet little hedgehogs are just the cutest!
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty Valentines, Mary! We are sure enjoying the one you sent us! It's cold here today and the birds are really flocking to the feeders. They look fat and fluffy in this cold weather. They're calling for snow and freezing rain tomorrow evening and night. Love the snow, don't like the ice.
ReplyDeleteOh Mary - these are fabulous. Thank you for the valentines for your followers. I do love the card with the washi tape strips.
ReplyDeleteBlessings

So many beautiful cards! I think I have that PB one with the little girl holding the cupcake. This should inspire me to stamp it out for the first time.
ReplyDeleteAlso loved that yellow floral one at the bottom of your post...so pretty.
Hope to get out tomorrow and do some errands. Have a list a mile long as we were housebound for so long...
Maybe my travels just might take me to the local craft store! lol
Mary, thank you for leaving us a Valentine card and it is so beautiful, as all of the cards are. You were a busy bee.
ReplyDeletePurple finch is the correct name and I love the goldfinches. They are so pretty. And, they can put away some seed, that's for sure.
What cute Valentines you made this year. I love the hedgie! Your dinner sounds so good. I love potato soup and make it quite a bit in winter.
