Vintage Valentine Greetings

Good Morning & Happy Thursday Friends!
Brandon is much better & back to school this morning and I am recovering from whatever bug he had....no matter how much I wash my hands & wipe things down---I always catch his bug!  Bianca is my healthy child!  She may catch a sniffle & stay in bed but she bounces back so quickly.....kind of urks me LOL!!!

Anywhoo, my post for today is featuring my SU! Diva Swap card.  I've told you before that I'm a member of a group of SU! Demos from all over the US & we swap cards each month.  January's theme was to make a Valentine's card & I decided to go with non-traditional colors to make my creation.  I finally broke into my packages of Beau Chateau & First Edition Specialty DSP while making this card & I'm quite pleased with how it all came together.  I can't wait to get return mail & oogle at everyone else's creations!!!

Well, I'm off to take some medicine & make sure I'm not forgetting anything for my class in Bourbonnais tomorrow evening.  I haven't seen my friends since we moved & I'm very excited to be with them and have a great time!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Supplies:  Grateful Greetings Stampset; Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette & Very Vanilla Cardstock; Soft Suede Ink; Beau Chateau & First Edition Specialty DSP; Antique Brads; Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon; Big Shot; Labels Framelits Collection; Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder; Decorative Label & Large Scallop Oval Punches; Dimensionals & Sponge

  16. I am very involved in Emmaus and Kairos weekends. De Colores and roosters are a big part of my life. I love seeing roosters on everything. I don't think I've ever seen one on a Valentine before, and I just adore it.

  17. Beautiful card Jackie. I'm going to have to check out that stamp set, it really cute. Love the chicken wire stamp. If we can have non traditional colors for Christmas, we can certainly have non traditional colors for Valentine's day. Love the card.

  22. Jackie, your cards always amaze me and this is no exception! It's a very pretty valentine's card and I wish we celebrated Valentine's a bit more in Norway so that I could also make such cards.
