Sent with Love

Are you having a 'Ruby Tuesday'?  I am so far.  I was stunned this morning to be awakened by thunder and lightning and SNOW!!!  Yes, it is snowing, sleeting and raining in the DFW area.  It may stick for a few hours in a few areas, but will be gone by Noon. 

Well, I have a new little card to share.  Valentine production has started in the craft room.  I am working on getting my Valentine stash dwindled down to make room for other goodies.  Some of my stash has been around for five or more years.  I have been working with my 3 Birds on Parade cartridge.  I love those little birds.  They look so chipper and friendly.  So, here is my creation for today:

Here are the details:
Card Size:  A2 (4.25" x 5.50")
Pink mat:  4.00" x 5.25"  (cut 2x)
Patterned Paper mat:  3.75" x 5.00" (cut 2x)
Inside Sentiment Mat:  3.50" x 4.75"
Bird and Sentiment:  3 BIRDS ON PARADE, pg 71, Mailman + Mailman-s cut @ 2" + all layers using Shadow and Phrase features.
Cardstock:  Darice (Core'dinations - Ivory, Pink, Hot Pink, Black, Light blue, Medium Blue and Bright Yellow)
Patterned Paper:  DCWV (The Spring Stack)
Stickers:  Mrs. Grossman's (Happy Hearts)
Stamp:  Cardz TV Stamps (Happy Days - Happy Valentine's Day!)
Ink:  Tsukineko (Momento - Tuxedo Black)
Adhesives:  EK Success (Zig 2 Way Glue Squeeze & Roll Fine Ball Point Pen), Scotch (ATG and foam tape) and Xyron (500 Create-a-Sticker)

I am really liking the Zig 2 Way Glue Squeeze & Roll pen.  It really helps with the very  small pieces such as on the phrase.  I thought that it was going to be an oops purchase, but it really has turned into a serendipity buy. 

It is off to bed with me for a few hours.  I have gotten my days and nights mixed up again.  This damp weather has me aching a lot and I just can't sleep very well.  A nice cup of chamomile tea will help a bit.
