VALENTINES FOR YOU
Our local guild, North Redwoods Book Arts Guild, had our valentine card exchange today and members made the most fabulous cards. My card is actually a comedy of errors. I got the idea for making the folded hearts from Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord's blog. She used tomato can labels and I thought it would be fun to use newspaper ads from two of our local (chain) craft stores. So, I folded away and snipped words from the ads to create some kind of greeting. I had planned on making a 4-page book from a single sheet of paper, but with the same size of pages. Too lazy to look up the exact fold, I created a card that ended up with different sized pages. So, never one to start over, I cut out coupons from the craft store ads and attached pull tabs so that one could pull them out of the little pocket I created. I seem to have the most fun with projects when they don't go as planned.

Yours was such a fun valentine. I must say, personally, I find that projects that go awry and have to be fiddled with in unexpected ways always turn out to be the best ones.
I need to go awry more often. Thanks for the encouragement :)
