Banners and Pennants Valentine

My husband is out of town for a couple days so me and the kids are holding down the fort. I spent ALL day yesterday making cards. Pretty much neglected the house/kids (not really, they hung out with me in my craft room driving me nuts) and got nothing done that I should have. Oh, I did get one load of laundry done. These stamps sets are both retired, but I didn't use them much last year so I wanted to ink them up a bit more before I buy new ones.

This first card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.

 This next card was inspired by the one previous.

I have a couple more cards to show you in the coming days! Stay tuned...

Stamp Set:  Banner Blast, Language of Love, Wacky Wishes (all retired)

It's mid-January already? How did that happen? I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do hope to post more regularly on my blog. Not doing so well...things get so busy around here with taking kids to/from school, gymnastics, errands, appointments, my obsession with house cleaning, running, etc. 

Anyway, I made this card to sell at my hairdresser's station during the holidays. The stamp and DSP are both retired. This stamp set/framelit was a big seller when it was available and is one of my favorites.
