Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Yes, my favorite holiday of the year since it's my birthday! Also that of birthday twins, Brenda U - a Hero Arts Flickr group friend - and Lynn, a friend for many years and a sister Drum Corp alumnae. I had a lovely birthday starting with my Dad making me pancakes for breakfast. Then we all exchanged Valentine cards and chocolates (then we ate a few chocolates as our breakfast dessert - ha, ha).
I made this Valentine for my parents:
The little woman and man are from a wooden Hero Arts set called Three People (the third stamp is a girl). So cute! I have them holding hands like my parents still do.
And here are the birthday cards for my birthday twins. First, for Brenda:
I used three of the heart images from the Four Hearts set by Hero Arts with some patterned paper from Basic Grey's Kissing Booth 6x6 pad.
And here's Lynn's card:
I just love this Newspaper Cupcake by Hero Arts! I topped it with a conversation heart from their fun clear Sweet Hearts set with bunches of conversation hearts.
My sister Tami and her hubby Dave joined us for my birthday dinner. Here I am with my heart-shaped pizza:
I'm wearing thermal gloves as it just came from the oven! It looked a whole lot more like a heart prior to baking - LOL. Pizza came from Papa Murphy's and tasted delicious!!
You can't have a birthday at our house without cake. Here I am with my cake:
Yummy cake from Sam's Club, though even the frosting lovers agreed it was a bit too much frosting!
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day and didn't eat too many sweets (like me!).
