I know Valentines Day is one of those days when some of us are elated and others are dreading!  The real trick is to enjoy every day and when something extra ordinary comes your way . . . Thoroughly enjoy every minute of it!  I hope you all have a fabulous day!  I know with my new Grand Calibur, I enjoyed creating today's inspiration for you and pretty soon, the distress markers are going to make my day too!   But I assure you, it's not the purchase of these great little tools but the fun that comes from creating with them and sharing with you that really makes my day!

Grab some herbs and make this gift package too

I made today's project with a fabulous punch, the strips of dp were glued to a 5x6 size of scrap paper in rows with the punched decoration left to fly free like a wave.  Blue/greens on some great watery colored DP and some ingenuity made the backdrop for the image.  The image was from Stamp Fairy and is very light skinned blond and beautiful mermaid that made this project mystical and full of fantasy too!  My neighbor looks forward to my dried herbs package every year and it's about that time again so I've made this into a weedy,pail green and blue project to match the herb and added the image to decorate it with.  I hope you all enjoy it!
