Butterfly Hugs!

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. ~Author Unknown

While I appreciate the thought behind Valentines Day, I do not celebrate what I consider to be a "Hallmark Holiday" plus one should not be waiting for one day a year to show someone they are loved and appreciated. I don't buy a card for my husband and I certainly do not expect a card from him.

Now, that being said, because there are so many people out there who love and celebrate Valentines day, I do make them for the parents, aunts and a few friends and this card is one of them.


Supplies
Cards stock from The Paper Studio
DP from my stash
Sentiment from Inkahootz!
Ink from Stampin Up!
"Confetti" Embossing folder from CTMH
"Dottie Trim" die from CC Designs
"Butterflies" die from Stampin Up!
"Heart" die from Sizzix
Heart image from "Jubilation" from CTMH
Enamel dots - home made by me
Black floss - My stash

Thanks for stopping by!

    My husband feels the same way about Hallmark holidays, so we don't celebrate either. That's ok, I have fun making the kids a Valentine card!!

    Very pretty card! I confess I'm glad hubby and I exchange cards and candy every year. I get a huge bag of peanut M&Ms. He gets Millionaires or Turtles. We'll be 29 years married in May. Kinda tradition by now, lol. xoxo
