VALENTINE'S IS NEARLY HERE...

AND TIME FOR SOME NEW COLORS!

I know RED is usually the color of Valentine's Day, but so were RED and GREEN for Christmas a few years back.  I've decided to take my cards up a step and change the colors for this day's celebrations as well.  So, what follows is an untraditionally colored Valentine's Day card...Kraft and Navy!  This one is not for anyone, but rather for my own collection, reminding myself that I actually had the Chutzpah to do such a thing!  I hope you enjoy it.

Thought for the Day:

If it's going to be,
it's up to me.

  27. This is stunning! I love the deep embossing on this. That is amazing! I also love the fact that you went out of the "norm" for your color scheme. This would be perfect for a "guy" Valentine. Sorry to put it in a stereotypical category, but most guys don't like the "traditional" Valentine Day cards. This would be perfect. Also, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a wonderful comment. As far as your question, I left a link in the post for where you can find the tutorial for the quilt cards. But for your convenience here it is:

    Again, thanks so much! Best, Curt
