Happy Valentine's Day!

So I am thankful for this guy right here... 24 years of Valentine's Days celebrated together! I actually remember one of our earliest dates took place on this day in 1994. Super crazy to think that much time has passed. 

Marriage is definitely not easy, bringing together two people from different walks of life who have to give their heart and soul to one another on a daily basis. It's making God the center of it all. He has truly brought us to this place in 2019. 

I am thankful for God's promises and the fact that He is a miracle-worker. We have experienced that together and I am grateful. I have grown in experiences and opportunities I could have never imagined and while the journey has not always been easy, it has truly been worth it!  Thank you, Lord, for another year! 

While we aren't together today, and we promised years ago not to focus heavily on Valentine's Day as an isolated occasion in a year, I can't wait to give this card to him. I'm pretty sure he'll agree with my heart diagram. LOL Actually, he could negotiate the need to move naps up on the list. I don't take them often these days but when I do, I definitely enjoy them!

The focal point was stamped with this set from our "Heart Happy" special that is available through the end of this month. Aren't the images super cute?! (I actually made some other cards with it.) You can find more details about the special here. 

Whether your single, dating, married, or widowed, I pray today isn't looked at as any more important than other days. Convey your love and admiration for people in your life on a regular basis and more importantly, feel loved today. You are! 

Have a blessed day! 

Snuggly and Warm - Blog with Friends

Thank you for joining me and a few blogging friends as we link up our blogs to share some fun content aligned with this month's theme, "Snuggly and Warm". Please read through the bottom of this post where you will find links to their blogs.

I interpret snuggly and warm as winter and Valentine's Day; a perfect combination, in my opinion. Can you believe we are just 10 days from Valentine's Day in 2019? That is super crazy to me! But, it does give me a great opportunity to create some fun happy, a few items which I am sharing with you today. 

So I must have been living under a rock, but has Galentine's Day been a saying prior to this year? LOL I have never heard it until now but think I may just wear it out as it is super adorable and provides an opportunity for us to celebrate those gal-entine relationships we have in our lives. 

This scrapbook page will be perfect for preserving some gal memories. The challenge will be deciding which photos I want to include on this one. 

Do you have special moments you have shared with a girlfriend, or two, of yours? Those memories are worthy of documenting either for yourself, for them, or how about for both of you? Adding a little bit of the story will bring to life what you experienced at the time the photo was taken. You deserve that. You both do. 

Or what about sprinkling someone's mailbox with a bit of happy? This is totally my favorite handmade card where you can specific the loves in your life. Isn't it hilarious?! You'll see where tacos ranks for me and my husband won't be surprised when he gets this card. Ha! It's totally fun and is bound to provide a chuckle to any recipient. 

 Here is a simple Valentine's Day card, throwing it a little blue. Don't you love this color combination? I do! I think it's perfect and this card can be sent to any person you choose.

The products used on these artwork pieces are part of Close To My Heart's Heart Happy Special that are only available through this month, while supplies last. You can purchase them, including the stamp set shown above, through me by using the link provided .

Heart Happy Blog Hop

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop where we are featuring the beautiful Heart Happy Special that contains beautiful colors and perfect images for Valentine's Day or other special occasions. 

You can find details about it, and the coordinating products, by clicking here. These products are only available through the end of February. 

If you are coming from Barbara's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a complete list of participants by clicking here. 

I decided to keep my card a little simple, while truly loving all of the images in the stamp set. 

To create the red glitter heart, I stamped the image on a scratch piece of paper, traced it on the BACK of the Glitter Paper, and cut it out. 

Red Pearls, a soon-to-be-gone item, were used as an additional element. 

Gotta love when a card is attractive and didn't take a lot of time to create. 

Head on over to Cat's Blog to see what she has created with this fun product! I am looking forward to creating much more!
