There isn't much that is more fun to me than a day in the studio. Especially with friends. Which is why I adore Birdsong so much and why I want to plan more mini workshops at the cottage.
Last week, I was able to have a little get together in there with a few good friends, and little Dewdrop. One friend works for United Way and was putting on a coordinated workday with the Boys and Girls Club to make some cards to deliver with Meals on Wheels for Valentines Day.
She asked her crafty friends to help with some samples to display for the event, and brought her supplies over for us to come up with some cards using them. Well, it's always fun to delve into a pile of new goodies, of course, so I was all for it. Since I usually work with vintage papers, it was a challenge to try something different than what I am used to. Lori brought pretty scrapbook papers, so it was a joy to try them out.
Still, I did make some copies of flowers and old Valentines, plus some messages to add inside the cards.
I'll post them here for you to use too. Maybe you'll make a card for someone who otherwise might not be getting one this year?
Some of these I might have posted before, some are new. All would be pretty used in a Valentine! Click to open into a larger window and save the image to your computer before you print it off.
Thanks, Karla. I’m saving these though right now I am without printer. But this too will happen soon enough — and there is always kinkos!
Sounds fun. I’ve been thinking of pulling together a make Valentines gathering. Looks like you all had a blast!
