January Card Class

These are two of the valentines I  planned for my January card class.  If someone didn't want a valentine the one on the right was changed by removing the hearts and replacing them with flowers.  The card on the left I thought would be good to send to the youngsters.  If someone wanted a big flower there instead I will had my die ready for them to use.

A Friend in Need

Our retired mathematics teacher group meets once a month for breakfast, all social no business allowed.  I will be bringing a card each month for everyone to sign for our friend going through chemo.  Ours is a close group having spent many years together in the county school system.  We weren't all at the same schools but saw each other regularly at student competitions, county wide meetings and things like that.  We will help her through this the best we can since she has moved north and to the other coast from us.  I got the idea for this card on Splitcoast using different colors.

Hearts and More Hearts

Two more Valentines from my stash of designer paper.  I tried to use at least a little on every valentine I made.  Hopefully some of these look  like they could be sent to a male.  I do tend to use too many girly things.

You Can Do It

One of my teaching buddies recently started chemo.  She has moved far away from the area where our core group of retired teachers live so there really isn't much we can do to help her.  Just like I have with many of my friends who have gone through chemo treatments, I plan to support her with cards.  She is a strong person so I know she can do this.
This is a CASE of Connie Collins.  She used a different stamp set and where she used red I used yellow.  Where she used yellow I used red.

Hugs and Kisses

This designer paper is a few years old.  I have used it before but ordered some off the clearance rack so I have more to use.  I didn't buy any new Valentine paper this year because I have so much already that I need to use.  The bottom card has a removable bookmark for anyone that still reads books instead of kindles.

The First of the Valentines

I know you are saying what is she thinking, we just finished Christmas.  That is true but since I have a craft show coming up in about 3 weeks, I need to get busy working on Valentine cards.  I made about 10 styles so far and I think I like these the best.
