Happy Valentines!

Well if you haven't noticed, your mailbox isn't overflowing with a lot of posts from me I'm not what you would call a frequent poster. I would like to post a little more often but there seems to be a lot of other things getting in the way.

Reasons for not posting. Number 1, I packed up my stamp stuff and started staging our house to put it up for sale, last June. We did a ton of things to the house because the competition is so fierce here. New hot water heater, new furnace, new carpet in our basement, new light fixtures, new windows, new stainless steel appliances, new paint on the walls and then we staged everything. All of this was keeping me busy so it didn't bother me to much that I wasn't able to stamp. We finally listed our house in October hoping it would sell quickly. It still has not sold; the market here in WI is awful. There are about 100 other houses in the same price range Soon after it was listed, the holidays were upon us and I was busy with all the stuff that goes along with it. Number 2, I decided to go back to school. I signed up for 6 credit hours of class this semester and it is really kicking my butt *wink* I don't think it would be as bad if work wasn't so draining. It has been very stressful and demanding. I leave there and go to class 2 nights a week for 3 hours, yuck! My weekends are spent doing home work, no time for fun then either. I keep telling my self it will all be worth it in the end. Number 3, my family, with so little time leftover I do what I can to spend some time with them. Cross your fingers for us to sell the house soon so I can move into a new stamp room. If it doesn't happen soon I may go crazy *double wink*

Ok, now that you know why I haven't been posting we can get on with my post for today. I made this card for my husband last Valentines day and although it a year old I still like it. Ingredients used: Cardstock, Bazzill red and black; Pattern paper, FoofaLa red, black and cream; Hero Arts, gemstone crystals; Ribbon, black velvet; Stamps, noteworthy (love), $1 stamps (xoxo); Other, chipboard, dimensionals, corner punch. Super easy card to do and my husband loved it.
Hope you have a Happy Valentines!!!
