Valentine's Cards

Hello Scrapfans!

I'm going to tell you a deep, dark secret about myself. It's very difficult to admit, and you probably wouldn't even guess it since my personality is so cheery, bubbly and scrappy. But I used to HATE Valentine's Day. I did! It's the honest truth. That was back when I was with a boyfriend who took me to dinner and bought me gifts on the occasion. I know how I sound. But he was a guy who treated me one way in public and completely different in private. The "I'm gonna take you out and show everyone how good I am to you even though you're not worth it" type a guy. That was several years ago and thankfully, that guy is long out of my life. For our first Valentine's Day together, my husband Chris wanted to take me out for an expensive meal and buy me gifts he thought I would like. But I told him that the best gift he could give me is to just treat it like a normal day. At least that year anyway. I was still feeling the sting from the ex and I wanted nothing to do with V-day. And like the wonderful man he is, he gave me exactly what I wanted. So this year on February 14th, we're going to stay home, probably eat some Mac N Cheese and watch Ringer. And I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to that. I don't think it matters what you do on Valentine's Day, as long as you are spending with the person you love.  But I digress.

I do, however, make Chris a card. And with my first gathering for the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book coming up tomorrow, I thought it would be nice to do Valentine's Cards for the Create & Take.
