Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!  Hope everyone's sweethearts are close by!  I have been writing out valentines for the four boys and one man in my life!  All the boys valentines are also filled out for school; however, only one will be making it to school for their party today.  Jonathon and Marcel are the latest to get the flu bug...three down and hopefully Ryan, Pat and I don't get it!

Here is my last valentine that I made yesterday for my oldest, Ryan.  I tried to keep it simple as I didn't think he'd like too much bling!  I used the Stampin' 411 sketch for this and turned it on it's side. 
Ingredients:  Cardstock:  PaperTrey Ink Kraft; Stampin' Up Whisper White and Real Red;  Patterned Paper:  Making Memories; Ink:  Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip and Real Red; Twine:  PaperTrey Ink; Stamps:  WPlus 9 and Stampin' Up Holiday Wishes

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Valentine's Day!  I'm celebrating my 25th Valentine's with Pat...we've been married for almost 19 years and dated for 6 years before we were married...so this marks our 25th Valentine...amazing and wonderful!

This little tree is so darn cute and I love that one little hanging heart! My little one has quite a cough but otherwise ok so I'm going to take her to her little party at daycare for a while so she can swap valentines. Here's to a great Valentine's for you!

Congratulations on your 25 valentines! Your card is so cute, it reminds me of the Charlie Brown Tree and ALL the meaning that held.
