I love this sentiment from A. A. Milne and decided that I'd use it for this card. My heart dies and patterns didn't really fit the shape of the sentiment so I hand cut the sentiment into a heart and then hand cut the backing paper. This was a free image and when I downloaded it I labeled it Life of the Party but I can't find any digital stamp company by that name. So I'm not sure where I got this. The black card stock background was embossed with a Sizzix Flourishes embossing folder. This entire card is almost all scraps. Even the ribbon is a scrap from my scrap box. I used the Tuesday Morning Sketch as inspiration.
I am entering these challenges:
- Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch above
- Tuesday Throwdown: say it with words
- Crafty Sentiments Designs: favorite combo (back, white and red)
- Cutie Pie challenge: simply love
- Cupcake Inspirations: red, black and white
- Hiding in my Craft Room: super scraps
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you had a lovely day!

Beautiful card and excellent use of scraps. Thanks for joining in the Hiding In My Craft Room super scraps challenge. Hope you will join us soon in another challenge. Beth DT
Donna, that's a wonderful sentiment. Congrats on the flowers. It is so wonderful that you help out so much with the twins - my Mom was 100 miles away and still is so she wasn't able to babysit as much as she does for my brother. Now my kids are grown and live near her which is rather funny.
Very pretty and sweet card! I love the layout, embossing and sentiment.
My hubby made dinner last night and had the table set all Valentine-y. They can surprise us once in a while!

This is very sweet and I love how you have to read around it. Flowers from your husband was very sweet especially since it is rare....just like my husband. It's great that you are helping with the kids, but are you getting time with your hubby and having date night...haha
