My Hubby's Valentine.

So once again all my blogger friends have inspired me. Looking at all of their wonderful vintage Valentine art made me want to do one too!  I am not a huge paper crafter. I just have never seemed to have the knack for it.  Atleast I never thought I had the knack,b but am thinking that I should give it another try. Hubby was oh so happy when I told him I had to buy yet more stuff for yet another hobby lol  I will wait until next month to head off for paper and glitters and all the pretty do dads that go along with paper crafting. Can not wait to make a masterpiece for Easter!!  Anyways, Off to google I went and found this adorable vintage squirrel!  I have to tell you that my hubby has called me his squirrel since we first got together; so when I saw this adorable guy I knew I had found "the one" lol

Since I had no paper products I had to figure out something with fabric.   I pulled out my box of scrap fabric and I found a box of old cards!!!  I printed off my little squirrel and pasted it on to a postcard and then cut him out....hey whatever works right???  Then I found a vintage piece of lace...hmmm what next. How about a heart out of my glitter wool felt...great!  OK....now what?? Found an older looking type print fabric for the background...perfect!! I got it!!!  Take the back of an old card and cover it with the fabric for the base of my card.  Hmmm...now where to put my squirrel....played around and did not like him just "put" on there. I need a pocket!  Yep that is perfect :D  Some vintage lace to hang and a little cream bow on the heart and Viola!!  Done and I think it turned out pretty nice for my first attempt at something like this :D
