Happy Valentine’s Day! I know it’s time to move on from this holiday and I have really with other designs but I still wanted to make a card to give to John so I whipped this up while he was making multigrain pancakes with berry topping and scrambled eggs (I made the sausage). I used today’s Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS (FS158) and used this fun CAS card by Hamiltongal and brought out my turtles in love Stamps A La Carte by Taylored Expressions and Animals in Love sentiment. You know you don’t have to have a special occasion like Valentine’s Day to make/send a love card to someone you love/care about; I can imagine giving a card like this as a surprise on a day that’s not set apart to tell John how much I love him!
I paper-pieced these turtles with Basic Grey Marrakech papers and added a 5/8” black grosgrain ribbon on the side just like Laurie’s card but added a brad to pop off the black. I put some Christmas red stickles on the heart between the turtles; I love how something to small & quick can really pack a punch – that’s why love stickles! I like how this card came together so quickly and I’m sure he’s going to like it. Hope whatever you do with your loved ones is special – as for me, I need to study for my anatomy/physiology test that’s Monday night! I feel like I’m not ready - yikes!

Sorry to interrupt your studying but I had to stop by to say how cute I think this little card is for Valentine's Day. Have a great day!
Your pieced turtles are adorable, Donna!!
