Happy Valentine’s Day

I’ll be back tomorrow with some more valentines to share for Memorandum Monday, but today I have one to submit to the Card Concept challenge blog. Here’s the inspiration photo:

Clearly, the hearts were my inspiration.

I have to admit that photographing valentines can be a challenge in itself, especially when reflective papers are being used. I started with a piece of patterned paper from Teresa Collin’s “Studio Gold” collection, then die cut Simon Say’s “Heart Tic Tac Toe” from the middle and backed it with red and gold foil paper from Michaels. The sentiment is one of the dies from Papertrey’s “Swoosh” set. There are a variety of categories to choose from at Card Concept, but I guess this fits the CAS Layered category the best.

Here’s another look at it.

Tracy outdid himself this Valentine’s Day. I received a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, a charm for an Alex and Ani necklace, and a gift certificate for a facial. I’m a spoiled lady! Our duplicate bridge group is playing this afternoon (very unusual; it’s usually a Saturday night), and then we’re off to dinner (again!) with friends. It’s been a cold, but festive weekend.
