This afternoon I had time to make some valentines. Not many of them can be shared here, but I’m pretty sure my three granddaughters don’t have any opportunity to check my blog! The card fits three challenges–an unusual event for me.
I’ve always loved the My Favorite Things animal stamps by Birdie Brown. Now that I have five grandchildren, I didn’t have any trouble justifying the purchase of several sets. I used one of the stamps from this set, “Polar Bear Pals,” for Caleb’s birthday card, and now I’ve used two of the images for a valentine for my three granddaughters, aged 5, 2, and 7 months. I masked the little bear in the front, and then stamped the two bears in the back sitting down. The sentiment seemed pretty perfect, too. I colored the images with my Prisma colored pencils which have been neglected for awhile. After stamping the images, I die cut them with a Simon Says “Stitched Rectangle” die; might be the most used die in my collection.
This give you a better view of the shiny hearts I added as embellishment.
I’m posting this card at The Heart Desires . . .

Tuesday’s post for the Five in Five photography meme was my 1,800th post. Somehow I missed that milestone, but I do find it incredible!
What an adorable card Karen!
and wonderful shading as well!

These cards are so cute! The girls will love them.
And, yes, 1800 post is quite a milestone!
My word, that’s some total! I don’t think I’ve even go to 500 yet. Your card is so delightful – it will make everyone who sees it go “Ahh!”.
1800 posts! Congratulations. Yeah you & while I was not there at the very beginning, I know I have read many of them in December Daily & finally started in conversation with several more. Cute cards. The collage at Hearts Desire is so sweet & pretty.
Oh, the little girls are gonna love their cards; they are too cute! And a BIG Congrats on reaching an 1800 posts milestone…WAHOO! I’m nearing my 1000th…sometime in March, I think. When did you start your blog?
