Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to you all.

I spent yesterday making a romantic present for my hubby and I am going to share it with you as I want to enter it in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge.  This weeks theme is Messy!  Well I think I could have entered anything that I have ever made into this one as I always make a mess and always end up creating in that last postage stamp of space left on my desk.  If I paint or ink I get it everywhere but somehow it all seems to turn out right in the end.  I hope Ivan likes this - I know it is a bit romantic looking but I have been making him little heart love tokens for quite a few years now and I thought I would give him somewhere to hang them up!!  And I made him a new heart to add to his collection.  I am so happy he is my Valentine and has been for 30 years!!!!  Ooooo can I really be old enough ;-)


I decorated a clipboard to match a Valentine tag I made last year (too late for Valentines so I have been keeping it safe!)


 I used some hitch posts that I have been saving as I they were out of production for a while and I am so glad that Tim announced they were back as I find them so useful.  Hanging from one is the cute little love token I was talking about.


I have used the same image transfer technique on my tag and on my clip board.  I love doing this even if it is messy messy messy!


Lots of lovely romantic embellishing going on - I am not sure Ivan will be showing this to the lads!!!

I decided to show you just how messy I am and I have posted a video fast forward of how I made a Valentine for my Valentine.


One confession to make before I post this and link to Simon Says Stamp and Show.......I haven't tidied up yet!!!!  That won't surprise my Valentine at all ;-)

Have a lovely day and thank you for popping by x
