Purple Tulips?

Another Valentines Day has come & gone. This was my 11th Valentines Day with my husband and one I will never forget.

My favorite color is pink (in case you didn't already know - hee hee!) and my favorite flower is the tulip. My husband is the last minute shopper as most men are.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I woke up Sunday morning to a vase of purple tulips! I thought it was a bit odd. I don't think anyone has ever given me a bouquet of purple flowers. Interesting, isn't it? Usually the backup to pink for me is red or a mix bouquet, but the last minute shopper is subject to limited quantities . . . right? Right!

I decided to Google purple tulips to see what it means. It represents royalty! Works for me if my husband thinks I'm queen! It's the thought that counts, right? Right!
My sweetie, pictured above at age 2, got me a gift certificate for a massage! Now we're talking! He is going to make some woman very happy someday. This page was another addition to the 6x6 scrapbook I've been working on. You'll notice I added a little looped ribbon behind the photo piece on the top & bottom and finished off the page with a little Stampin' Up! Styled Vanilla Hardware. Very simple page and an easy subject to work with!

Happy stamping!

Sending Love

I really love to make little altered treat containers with matching cards for Valentines Day. My mother is going to be the recipient of the little ensemble pictured above. The little band aid container is filled with Dove Chocolate hearts . . . her favorite!

My package of Stampin Up Sending Love Specialty paper is disappearing fast! Between scrapbook pages, treat containers, and Valentine cards, I may need to order another package before long. It's just one of those paper packs where you will truly love each and every design.

If you are looking for that perfect sentiment like the "love you much" on my card, take a peek at the Stampin Up set Well Scripted. You get birthday, Easter, love, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, and congratulations all in one set. The script looks very classy, don't you think?

All the Stampin' Up! supplies used on the tin and card can be found at the bottom of this post. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail me!

TGIF in a big way! I'm having a dinner party Saturday evening and Sunday I get to take Brandon to one of his classmates birthday party. Very fun!

Enjoy your weekend and happy stamping!
