Unforgettable

Hello everyone and welcome!
I can't believe it but it's the last day of January already!  Didn't I just take down my Christmas decorations?  This month has just flown by!  Have you started working on Valentines Day projects yet?  I'm happy to say that I have completed a frame for each of my 3 grandchildren (you can see them here) and I've started on my cards.

Today's card is for my Mama.  We lost my Daddy 5 years ago on February 24th.  10 days after Valentines Day and 8 days after my Mama's birthday.  So, as you can imagine, February brings around lots of memories and emotions.  My Daddy was an awesome man (spoken like a true "Daddy's Girl") and my parents were a great "couple".  5 years later, I still think of them as a "couple"...I still catch myself thinking "I need to call Mama and Daddy" or I can't wait to tell "Mama and Daddy".  I guess some couples are just....

Unforgettable


I used the following items for my card:
* White 5 X 6.5 card base
* Red cardstock layer, punched on the sides with a Martha Stewart Punch
* I used K&Company printed paper to cut .75 inch strips.  I distressed the edges of each strip, inked them up using Ranger's Barn Door ink and adhered them to my red layer.
* The adorable kissing couple is from the Silhouette store.  I ran the cut through my Xyron and covered it with Martha Stewart glitter in Garnet.
* My sentiment mat is cut using the Spellbinders die Grommet Tags and inked up with Ranger's Barn Door ink.
* The beautiful sentiment is from the Pink By Design stamp set Just Breathe.  I finished off the sentiment mat with a couple of gems by Recollections.

And here's another photo of my card....


I hope you enjoyed my sweet little card today!  As always, thank you so much for stopping by.  I always look forward to your visits and your sweet comments, they make my day!  Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you soon!

Until next time,

  4. Oh Tanya, what a beautiful card. Valentine's Day was my Grandma's Birthday. Since we've lost her, I always send a birthday card with yellow roses to my Mom and my Aunts on Valentine's Day. They don't care much for celebrating Valentine's Day because the whole day is thoughts of Grandma. This will certainly bring cheer to your Mom and I am sure a day of wonderful memories of your daddy. TFS!
