Happy Valentine's Day !!

Hello Friends,
I know I am late in posting on this special day but it was filled having a wonderful time with my daughter, grand daughter and husband. We went to the park and she fed the ducks a whole load of bread, played on the slides, took a nap with me, shopped and made cup cakes with sprinkles. She is such a big girl.

My share today is the Valentine's card I made for my daughter and grand daughter. The patterned paper is from K and Company called "Smitten". The highlight of the card I think is the heart. I did not want to use my only grunge board heart of that size from Tim Holtz so I traced it on a piece of card board and cut it out. I painted it with Making Memories red paint (from years ago). Then I used a technique I learned from Arlene (mybutterflykisses.blogspot.com). After the paint was dry I covered it with Versa Mark, dipped it in Utee, melted it with my heat gun, dipped it again in the Utee and while it was hot and melted I dropped tiny glass microbeads on top and they stuck in the hot Utee. It was my first time trying this technique. It was fun but use a box because I had the glass beads going everywhere. The beads are from Martha Stewart. I hear you can do this same technique using Glossy Accents without having to use Utee and heat.

So another Valentine's Day is almost over and I hope you had a wonderful time with your love ones. Oh yes, I made the same
card for my husband. Take care,
Hugs,
