day 14: ten things i love about you

for the last day, i decided to not do a card, but this little tin of "10 things i love about you" with the "you" being my husband:) i had a good time putting it all together, so i hope you enjoy it!

1. he always puts our family first.











2. he is very inventive. (and the little gears on this one really move!)










3. he's a pretty funny guy:)











4. he is a great father (and step-father!)











5. i think he's pretty cute!











6. he can cook (i.e. he makes me eggs benedict on special occasions:)










7. he is caring

8. he likes my cards











9. he is, ummm, well, i think he's sexy:)











10. he loves me!

day 13: love you very much

i apologize for the delay... i wasn't feeling very well last night and when i went to take photos of the card i noticed my camera's battery was dead. i knew then there was no way my post was going to make it for day 13. i was exhausted and retreated to bed while the battery charged. so, here it is on day 14, so you'll have to forgive me:)

day 10: luv u

i went in to work today to these lovely flowers on my desk. it seems that my husband sneakily ordered these for me as i had no idea. i check our accounts nearly every day, so i had no clue that he was cooking something like this up for me. i've never had flowers sent to my place of employment before, so this really floored me. i immediately called him at work to thank him and let him know he made my week. i wasn't really expecting anything from him because of the "agreement" we came to about vday and this was a nice surprise. however, he claims that these "aren't for valentine's day, but just because i love you". awww, swoon:)
it really kind of made me see that making all of these cards for him has been worthwhile. even so, if he hadn't sent me the flowers, i would think the same thing. he deserves the attention.


now onto today's card. i was inspired by the layout of dawn mcvey's card here and tried it out with a little of my own flair. really, any thing that dawn puts on her blog is inspiring. her and the other papertrey gals are truly a talented bunch. i've even made some of the "poofy vintage print button flowers" dawn posted a how-to video about in this post... they make a really cute embellishment!

supplies:

valentine link of the day: today's link isn't valentine related, but more so just a crafty goodness link that should get your creative juices flowing... check out nichole heady's blog here and see what great new stuff papertrey is releasing this year!

day 9: hugs & kisses

so here we are, day 9 of 14. i can say this has been a lot of fun... more so because i've gotten to give my husband some personal attention every day. even if i'm not around when he finds his card, i know he is reminded of my love for him. and that's what this has been all about:)

day 8: xoxo

this is probably one of my favorite cards i've done so far and yet, it is so simple. i've seen the heart of flowers done on scrapbooking pages, etc. and thought i'd give it a go on a card. i think it turned out well!
