give love

for take a word and moo mania and more -- both have the theme: "love is in the air." each year i create as many unique valentines as i can and last year i succeeded in giving one to everyone at work, about 40 people. i'm not quite there yet this year but i still have a few days! and creating many of them digitally to print out at ATC size makes the task easier! here are a few:

all the images and backgrounds are from crowabout studio b "heart wide open" except the background on the crow piece is from my artistic adventures.

love to all!

may your heart always feel at home

for take a word, "home sweet home."

love always to all.

for three muses challenge "grunge"

images from crowabout studioB (love is everything); rucola designs (fantastical steampunk); and tumblefish studios (fantastical steampunk -- retired).

love to all.

sweet loving wishes to everyone!

i've always liked valentine's day -- whether or not i felt i had a valentine of my own.  i loved the little valentines we'd pass out at school and as an adult playing with stamps, collage images and digital images i still can't quite get enough.

i wanted to give valentine's to everyone at work -- about 40 people.  i had some left over from last year which i'd never given out and a few made earlier this year but i still had to make about 15 more.  the 4 ATCs above are made with vintage valentines from twisted papers and background papers and hearts from my artistic adventures.

the top left is made with twisted papers and my artistic adventures.  the remaining three are digital images -- bottom right and left are crowabout studio b ("love the world") and the rest are gecko galz.

these are all digital creations with images either from gecko galz or crowabout studio b.

so these are just a few of the new ones i made this year.  i'm exhausted now having just finished the night before -- but i just made it in time for valentine's day.

happy valentine's day and love to all!
