Valentine's Day Cards 2008

Here are the cards I made this year for my family for Valentine's Day! I got a lot of the ideas from splitcoaststampers.

This is the card I made for my older sister. I loved this stamp. I saw it on the Stamping Bella website. I thought it was so cute, so I had to order it. This was my favorite card of the ones I made, but naturally my sister thought my Mom's card (see below) was really cute. Go figure. I punched out the hearts on the background and taped each one individually. Also I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I used the clear Spica Glitter Pen on the martini glass.
