My Funny Valentine and A Scrap in Time

Now ya'll know that while living over in Sicily I was deprived of such luxuries as a craft store right? WELLLL, I am over the moon, skippity do da, happy happy over joy joyed to have discovered that I have the LARGEST SCRAPBOOKING (aka card supplies) store on the Gulf Coast and it is right here in CRESTVIEW!!!! It is only about 5 miles away from my front door!!!!!! Poor things had no idea what kind of freak was entering their doors when I told them that I was going to lay down in the floor and make carpet angels on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!
CHECK OUT MY PERSONAL CRAFT STORE
"" A SCRAP IN TIME ""
SOOOOOO,,,, 3 hours later I narrowed down my desire to purchase $10,000 worth of supplies!

This card duo was created with a line of products that I purchased
"Be My Valentine" by We R Memory Keepers

I created these Valentines for my nieces

Close up so you can see the sweet little button
(thank you Linda for the cupid and heart buttons)
