Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope all of you had a good day today. Did you do anything to celebrate? My hubby and I have a monthly date which this month happened to fall on Valentine's Day so we got to spend it together this year, it's always nice to get in some adult time together. So today we went to the movies to go and see Valentine's Day. It was a pretty light and fluffy kind of movie but I really enjoyed it.

Last week I gave you a peek into my creative space and showed you what I was making for my hubby but I hadn't finished anything. Everything was ready to give him today so I thought I would show you the finished products. The card which I really enjoyed making, stitching it was so much fun and I love the effect. I might try this technique out a bit more I think. The scrap booking page with a mounted picture and a sentiment I found on the internet. There are heaps out there and some great ones for birthday messages too if you get stuck for things to write. And the shadow box with the rock heart. To get the effect of the backing board I mounted the heart on, I firstly painted the board red and then glued strands of red cotton to cover the entire board. When the cotton was dry I cut the overhanging strands and then popped a dimensional under the heart and put it all in the shadow box, easy and the cotton adds a bit of interest I think. I just thought I would think outside the box (ha ha) and give something different a try.

Anyway I better get off to bed now, feeling a bit tired and tomorrow I'm heading to the gym so I better get that energy up so I'm all ready to go go go, I'll give it a try anyway;)

Talk soon.
