Happy Birthday Arizona

While everyone else celebrates Valentine's Day today, I like to also celebrate Arizona's Birthday.

Here is a beautiful video and song about Arizona by Rex Allen, Jr. our State Balladier.  (If you are reading this in email, then please go to the blog to see the video).

And then, the Valentine Card for my Hubby...

(Updated... I completely forgot to mention where I got this cute idea with this chicken and kisses from - Thanks to Melissa Banbury from Porch Swing Creations!)

Okay, they may not be chicken lips (does a chicken have lips?) but they are kisses no matter what.  Hubby loves this chicken, so I just knew she had to be on his card!

Recipe:
Real Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Sending Love DSP - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" - stamped with kisses

Stamps - Sealed with Love and Bloomin' Love and FREE set - Hey Chick

Inside:  5 1/4" x 4" Whisper White.

On the outside, I added Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes (hearts) to the sentiment, die cut with Stitched Shape Ovals.

Thank you for looking in today!  May your Valentine's Day be special, however you celebrate it!

With the 8 1/2" edge at the top of your trimmer, cut at 7 3/8".  Without turning the paper, score at 3", 3 1/2" and 6 3/4"

Turn 1/4 turn and cut into 2 3/4" widths.  You should end up with four.

Whisper White - 5 3/4" x 2 3/8"

With the 8 1/2" edge to the top, cut at 5 3/4".  Without turning the paper, score at 2 1/4", 2 1/2" 2 3/4", 5", 5 1/4" and 5 1/2"

Turn and cut into 2 3/8" widths.  You'll have four.

Stamp as shown below:

Fold:

Add a small amount of "green glue" or tear and tape.

Slide into the small fold on the Real Red matchbook.and staple into the bottom.

Decorate the front with 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" DSP and Sweetheart Punched hearts.

Simple as can be!

Sealed With a Kiss

I really hadn't planned on making any more Valentine's, but then realized I needed an Anniversary Card... for my hubby.  So, that's not a Valentine, but it does use the Sealed With Love stamp set full of Valentine's and Hearts.

This comes from a sketch by Angie Juda.  I love that she includes the measurements!  Thank you Angie!

Recipe:

Real Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Real Red - 4" x 3 1/4"

Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4"

Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 3"

Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 2 1/2"

I used Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack

Anniversary Version:

I love that the DSP is 6" x 6" and there is a little strip left over  - perfect for decorating inside!

 Valentine Version:

Thank goodness it's Friday!  We're expecting a lot of rain here this weekend.  I hope it's true, we could really use it.  It was supposed to rain on Thursday, but it only sprinkled.  I  usually don't believe in the weatherman / woman until I see the rain for myself.

I love rainy days!

Thank you for looking in today!
