I do love this small square size – it is 4.25 x 4.25 inches, and can fit into a regular A2 envelope.

I used this as one of my punny Valentine cards – but it works for a LOVE card, too.
Lots of masking to stamp the cacti and succulents, with a touch of Copic coloring to fill in.
After a month of trying, I was able to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for both of my parents (in their mid 80’s). We go this week for shot #1, and then again the last week of March for shot #2.
Now I get to figure out the scheduling system in my in-laws home state.

I really like all of the texture on this card!
I put away my papercrafting supplies for 2 days and made some different face masks to try for personal use (not for sale).

I mass produced the pleated style last spring and summer for family members. We all need some fresh masks – elastic is stretched, washing wear & tear. The clam shell one is white muslin – I had too many sizes to chose from, and I didn’t want to waste pretty fabric if I guessed wrong.

One of my friends texted me two weeks ago and told me they needed to restock their card stash. Great! Except that I have not kept my basket well stocked since the pandemic started. I made a big push over the past two weekends, and I have added over 40 cards.

The weather forecast here is for snow and ice again tonight into tomorrow. Yes, regular February weather for us. SIGH. I am so ready for warmer weather this year.

I seemed to make more Valentines than I have in the past few years. With the pandemic and social distancing, I added a few more people to my list.

The Valentine puns continue…
For Offspring1, in honor of all of the dinosaur books we read.
I die cut the volcano shape out of the teal paper, and inset the Copic colored volcano into the teal paper. I popped the pterodactyl up on some foam tape (hoping that it gives the perspective that he is flying way above the spewing lava).
