Free Vintage Valentine Image

Hi Everyone,
Burr! Is it cold! I guess I shouldn't complain because we've had a very easy winter so far. This past week, we celebrated my daughter's birthday and it seems like every year Mother Nature saves the best (NOT!) weather for her birthday. The biggest snow storm of the year always shows up right on or very near her birthday. Well this year, we got our storm again but it was only a light dusting. Yipee! I'm always a last minute present buyer and I didn't have to worry about trudging through the snow this year. What a relief!

Do you have your Valentines all finished? As usual, I'm rushing to finish mine. Are you in the same boat? If so, here's a cutie image that might help you out. Make sure you click on it before you save it.



I used this image to create my son's card. I had to get it mailed off to Afghanistan so it was my first Valentine for the year. I kind of like the way it turned out. I wish had used something other than red card stock as my base and it is kind of girly for a guy but what the hay! Valentine's is supposed to be mushy and gushy right? It has lots of layers and I made cupid and the heart and flowers dimensional. Then I added lots of hearts and sparkles - which of course doesn't really show in the pic.



It really is the same image even though the colors on the completed card look different. Maybe one of these days, I'll learn how to work the camera. lmbo

Well gotta rush, I have to get working on my other cards for Valentine's Day.

Have a great week, plumb full of smiles!

Free Vintage Valentine Image

Hi Everyone!
Are you having a great Sunday? I am! It's rainy and chilly here. A perfect day for working on Valentine cards - so just a short post for me today.

From your childhood, do you remember those old corney Valentine poems that were always used to create that absolutely wonderful Valentine for mom? You know the one.....

Roses are Red
Violets are Purple
Sugar is sweet
And so are you!

I wonder how many different renditions there are to this little ditty? I bet thousands.... which ones do you remember?

Boy, that sure is a heavy subject for a rainy Sunday afternoon. lol

Anyway, here's a cute little valentine that I ran across. Maybe if you're trying to get ready for Valentine's Day, you can use this. Make sure you click on it before you save it.




Have a great week, plumb full of smiles!

Free Vintage Image, Valetine Cards and Disney

Hi All!,
Boy you really are out there. I'd like to welcome the new followers and thank everyone for all the love you've left. It's really good to know that you like and hopefully use the images.

The last few days have been really crazy around here. The kids are all off on their Disney Adventure and we're been lucky enough to receive the assignment of dog sitting. Have you ever watched "Animal Hoaders" on the Animal Planet channel? That's what we're kind of feeling like. We definitely have a pack of animals hanging out here for the next 9 days! They're all so skiddish cos they're away from their homes that they bark at the slightest provocation! It's a good thing we live out in the country and have a huge fenced in back yard! Wish me luck!

Have you seen the DT's cards that they made from last week's image? If you haven't, you can visit them by clicking on their names. Donna's , Sherri's , and DeeDee's. If you haven't visited their blogs yet, please take a few moments and check them out! I'm so jealous of their skills! They do an awesome job.

Here's my rendition. I printed the image twice so that I could give him some dimension and then I manually cut them both out. I thought I did a much better job of cutting until I looked closely at the picture. You sure can tell where I missed cutting some of the white card stock! Kaiden will still be in Florida for Valentine's Day :( and I wanted to use some of the left over Mickey paper from his autograph book on his card. I used it to create a little envelope that I filled with candy hearts. I had the hardest time attaching the little balloon hearts to the card. They just didn't want to stay attached. So I finally added a foam spacer between his hands stuck in the wires and added some glue on top. They still weren't attached as well as I would have liked but they'll have to do. I added some red and gold ribbon for some bling, some polka dot hearts and called it done.



Of course, I can't make a card for Kaiden and not make one for Jordan! I didn't really want to use the Bell Boy for her's so I found another sweet little image to use. I followed the same recipe but used her left over Minnie paper from her autograph book instead of the Mickey paper.




I thought they turned out really cute. Maybe if I keep practicing I'll get better. lol

Now, I must digress for just a little bit and turn into the very proud Grandma... please forgive...

Jordan had her Dippity Do appointment today. She selected Cinderella, of course, and of course I have to share the results. Isn't she just the cutest Cinderella ever!



Here she is with Cinderella.



And with Belle. Notice Belle is checking out Jordan's autograph book. :) I absolutely love the look at Jordan's face! Can you say admiration?



And last but not least, here's Kaiden with his Chip and Dale hat. Isn't he a cutie!



Sorry but I just had to share. :)

Now last but not least, here's the image for Jordan's little girl. Make sure you click on her before you save her.





I hope you have a great week plumb full of smiles!
