U R the 1 4 Me!


I've always loved figuring out sayings like "U R the 1 4 me".  When I was a kid Highlights magazine always had little puzzles like this.   Some people have car tags with numbers instead of words that are fun to figure out and annoying when you can't!  I'm not sure if this is a numeronym or not.  K9 for canine is an example of a numeronym.  Whatever this is - it's fun!



The kids on this vintage valentine remind of Louisa when she's trying to talk.  Something about the chubby cheeks and the open mouth, I guess.  I've got these cuties ready to download below, if you have someone you'd like to give it to who is the 1 4 U!



Aren't these the sweetest kids?  I just got this stamp set from Close To My Heart.  One of the sentiments is "This card is a paper hug."  Cute, huh?  Had lots of fun coloring these cuties with Copics.



You can download the Vintage Kids Valentine HERE.

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people.  Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner.  If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.

Here's a hope that U will C a way 2 cre8 with this 2day!

Be Mine Fur-Ever!



Foxes. Foxes. Foxes.  Are you tired of foxes?  Well, I decided I am NOT tired of foxes.  Especially when I have these two adorable fox valentines to give!


This Fox is so sweet.  Fun to color!  What could be better than adding a chocolate bar?  I must not be tired of this paper, either.  You might remember it from the kitty valentine last week.  I wrapped a hershey bar in white 28 lb Hammermill Copy Paper.  The paper is nice, thick, and slick.  It feels like nice wrapping paper.  The ends are secured with some heart washi tape.


Adorable. Foxes.  What could be better than having this fox valentine as a printable? 



You know what else I think is adorable:  my baby granddaughter, Louisa!  She is 3 months old today.  I just got back from visiting.  Do you remember the unicorn (and the cute unicorn tag) I gave her for Christmas?  Here she is hanging on to the unicorn in her car seat on the way to Union Station.  The unicorn ended up being the first thing that she's hung on to!



The day before (again at lunch), she's in her stroller licking her unicorn like it's ice cream!

Thank you for allowing me to indulge my grandma-itis for a moment.

Purrfect Valentines



Granny.  Grandma.   A guy at work keeps calling me granny - hoping to get a rise out of me, I think.   Everyone keeps asking me "What do you want to be called?"  Well, I don't have a problem with Granny or Grandma.  I really don't need a name that makes me seem younger.  I'm happy to be a grandma!  I guess I'll just let Louisa decide.  After all, whatever she calls me will be PURRFECT!



This was a fun card to put together.  I tested out my new chameleon pens on the two kitties.  I'm not sure about the markers yet.  There is a bit of a learning curve and while they are cool, they can't quite do what Copics do.  

I built the shaker on the back of the front panel of the card.  



It's finished off with a scallop die cut to hide the pieces of the shaker.



And oh, my gosh I think this sweet kitty is purrfect!  If you think she's purrfect for one of your valentines, you can download her below.  



The sentiment is part of the download, too.

So, if you're a grandma, what are you called?  I'm sure whatever your sweet grandchild calls you, it's purrfect!
