I still smile when I see my granddaughter in the same Moses basket her Mummy and Uncle slept in over 25 years ago. Also look how much she has grown in 3 months, it is nearly time for her to go into a cot.
Can you feel the love in my photos above?...if not the photo below has some,,,,,,,,,
or how about this second bloom on my hyacinth which popped up unexpectedly....mmmmm

My card today is the Valentine card I gave to my darling hubby this morning, we are celebrating 34 years since we got engaged. How lucky I am that he is still my sweetheart. Tonight we will enjoy a special Dine in for £20 M+S Valentine meal and will be popping open the bubbly. Cheers!
I stamped the background with the freebie Craft Stamper rose stamp by Visible Image using white ink. I used my newest Spellbinders set of dies to showcase the focal. The bow die is Memory Bax. I also added lots of gems and used a stamped sentiment as my focal with silver embossing powder. I have no idea of the maker as the packet it was in was blank! I bought it a few years back in a crafty sale.

Spread a little love around and it's amazing how it comes back tenfold. Enjoy this evening how ever you are spending it and have a wonderful weekend. Take care in the UK with the extreme flooding we are suffering.

Ahhh Jane, What a sweet post of love! All you need IS LOVE and a sweetheart like Daisy! She truly is so cute and looks like she has a lot of personality already!

Oops forgot, lovely cause for your son's girlfriend run, she must be a wonderful thoughtful person! Hope you stay safe and dry with all your wet weather. Be thinking of you, xoR
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday dear Jane!
ReplyDeleteThank You for this lovely post!
I cannot believe how much Daisy has grown and she's turned really fair!
Darling Card also!
Seems as if its a birthday celebration too? Happy Birthday and I hope you and hubby had a lovely Valentines's Day as well. We don't celebrate it but had a chocolate given to us for another purpose so shared it last night! I wonder if that page of the book your grand daughter was reading with the "carfish" was predicting anything!! Hope the floods stay away from you and yours. Your card is great - got that background stamp so must fish it out and use it. Love the die cuts. Thanks for entering this at the Squirrel and the Fox.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Loving your card, the white stamping looks just fab... thanks for joining in with the Sunday Stamper x
ReplyDeleteHello dear Jane! My favorite kind of post, with lots of Daisy Jane images! You can tell she's loved super well and is a treasure to her family. I am thinking of you all there and hope the rains and floods go away.

ReplyDeleteFabulous photos of Daisy, she is growing so fast and what a cherub she is. Love your card and the contrast of the red and brown together. Hope you weren't badly hit by the awful storm last night. Gusts of 67mph were recorded here at farnborough airport, what a noisy night xx

ReplyDeleteI got spoilt rotten for Valentine's Day this year - hubby came home with a big bunch of flowers, card and then whisked me away to a lovely hotel for the night with a champagne dinner...how lucky am I?!
Love the striking colour combo on your card and pretty layers! Hugs, Lisa x
