I'm still working on Valentine's card ideas. Will hopefully have those up soon.
In the meantime, just wanted to remind people about the Occasions Mini (you can find it on the right-hand side) that has lots of great things in it. I was at my demonstrator's house on Friday and she had on display just about everything--or everything--from the catalogue! It's all really great.
Also, the Sale-A-Bration catalogue is now on! What is Sale-A-Bration? It is a promotion that goes on each year where you can choose any free product from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue with every $60 you order. The $60 can be from the main catalogue or the Occasions or a mix. Have a look (available on the right-hand side!) and see if there's anything you would like to get free!

Playing with my "toys"
I finally sat down to play around with some of the Valentine's stuff I got recently, as well as some hearts that are part of an older kit I have.
What did I get recently? I got the Heart to Heart punch, the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set, the I {Love} Love jumbo wheel, Real Red ink pad and Pretty in Pink ink pad. I started having some fun with them last night, just seeing what they look like, thinking of different techniques that could be used (I'm very new to techniques!). Here's part of what I did:
It's hard to see, but the bottom four hearts are cut out or punched. The heart on the furthest right is a punched out heart from the Heart to Heart punch, but then stamped with a heart from the Simply Said stamp set (no longer available). The other hearts are simply cut out. The two hearts toward the middle were an attempt of mine to sponge while masking (placing a cut-out shape to block an area from being coloured). Those were done with a bit of sponge and Real Red, but I also tried it with the Pretty in Pink and it was very nice--just didn't show up well enough in a picture.
I made a thank you card the other day, too. I will have to get it uploaded. No, not done with Valentine's things. ;) Although, you could!
