We had a full day yesterday at the St. Louis Art Museum, it was just too cold for outdoor activities for me, and since my hubby has to work on Valentines day that is what we did for our day out to celebrate. While I was using the rest rooms he went into the shop there and bought me a pair of very pretty earrings, he is such a sweetie :) I will share the card I made him on Sunday.
Hope you have a great weekend and get a little time to create!

A beautiful card with a personal touch. Happy weekend!
I like recycling calendar images too! Love the background papers you paired with your image!
Oh, Connie, this is a fabulous image, and I just love Mary Engelbreit's artwork. And what an adorable image with the boy in the tree. So glad you had a nice visit at the St. Louis Art Museum yesterday and that it was your Valentine's Day time with your hubby! And how sweet that he surprised you with the earrings. Hugs, and keep warm, sweet friend!
I'd love to have this card to frame it , it's so very wonderful and express so fully my personality when I was a little girl of that age !
The time I spend here with you is so much blessed, my darling !
That's why there's a surpise for you at ~ My little old world ~, hope you'll enjoy it ..
Sending much love to you

Ai like the boy in the tree but I love the chalkboard writing background!
How sweet of your DH! Have a great weekend
Hi Connie, oh how cute is this card. Perfect for a young teen who liked to climb. I'm sure it will bring back fun memories for him. Love the school style alphabet board too.
So sweet of your hubby to surprise you with earrings on your day out at the Museum. What a sweetheart he is.
Enjoy the weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!
Wonderful card for your great nephew Connie! It's perfect! How absolutely sweet of your hubby to surprise you with the earrings! Happy Valentine's Day!
This certainly does evoke pleasant thoughts! Nice repurposing of the calendar. It's impossible to throw those things away. Your hubby is a sweetheart, for sure. Enjoy your Valentine's Day Sunday!
Great way to recycle especially when it fits someone so perfectly! I've been in that museum but didn't walk out w/earrings!! What a sweetheart!

cute as can be! I love 'school' valentines! I heard on the radio last week that one school district wasn't allowing Valentines Day...they were celebrating 'Friendship Day'. WHAT?! Good grief... leave us alone... we love creating Valentines, you know! waaahhh So glad as adults/cardmakers, we can do Valentines Day and friendship day every day of the year! So there! lol
