Happy Saturday everyone!  As I’m writing this we are getting ready to get blasted again with another winter storm.  We’ll see if it happens or not.  But if I’m stuck inside because of snow and freezing rain…it will be a GREAT time to STAMP!  This week our theme is “Love Me Tender” – Romantic Valentines.  I have to say…this is SO NOT ME!!!!  But I did come up with this…

It’s romantic…RIGHT?  The dsp is titled Floral Romance – I think that makes it work!  LOL!!!

Here’s some details…

  • Petal Pink – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
