I got a Valentine card .....

Hello
Look what I received in the post on Monday - a Valentine card! 

And I know who it is from - it is from my cat!  Millie.

Isn't that sweet?  My daughter sent it to me, bless her, although she denies all knowledge of doing so, I know it has to be her - it could hardly be from the cat, could it?

Everyone who knows me knows that the cat and I have a love / hate relationship.  Cats are not my favourite animal; I am more a dog person, but my children decided I needed someone to look after! (Which I don't).   Millie is a rescue cat, and did have both eyes when I got her, but she had a disagreement with either a fox or another cat and lost her eye.  She doesn't seem that bothered about it, but it is funny watching her trying to find her balance on a very thin fence!!  She's not a lap cat, which is probably just as well but she will sometimes permit my lap to be her cushion, just for a short time though!

Anyway - I was tickled pink and thought you might like to see too.  xx

Hi all
I hope you have all recovered from the New Year festivities.  Have to say mine was very quiet but good.  I saw the New Year in and then, I'm afraid went off to bed.  Can't cope with these late nights!  Anyway I've made the most of being quiet and made a few cards - sent off some thank you cards and started playing with some kits I bought last year.

This card used the Jayne Netley Mayhew CD which I absoutely love.  The variety of designs are brilliant.

This was a new stamp set called Basket of Flowers which can be seen at http://www.rubberstampcompany.com/ These are a set of 5 stamps and you just repeat stamp in different colours.  Very effective and idea for quick little thank you cards.

This one used the easel style card which Anita did.  As Anita said it is simple but different again.  The two toppers and background papers were from Redhotbed which came with a window kit I'd bought from Create adn Craft.  I thought this was quite a nice valentine's card without it being too sloppy! I don't 'do' sloppy!!

Now this one was from Kanban Patchwork Collection which I bought from QVC.  I love Kanban - the card is so good and the characters are great.  I bought some stamps with Christmas characters and am very pleased with them.   This card I've made with my grandson in mind - he's only one year old, but I thought he might like it anyway.  The card opens up and you can see into the carriage:

and there are two of the characters.  Cute isn't it?

Right I'm off for now.  I'll be back later with more chat.  Bye xx
