I made this card for my moms dear friend who's birthday is on Valentine's Day. Previous years I have baked a cake and took a pitcher of margaritas. She's not well, so will probably just be cake. 

I have lasagna soup in the slow cooker! I have a few more cards to make!

Tomorrow's my shift at the Tuck Shop!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe!

This is really darling! I like the idea of an "open-ended" greeting. I'm sure your Mom's dear friend will love it!

What a great embossing folder to go along with this cute House Mouse card. Lovely coloring and papers. Thanks for joining us at the HMFMC. I've never heard of Lasagna soup but right now it sounds delicious. It's very sweet of you to bake a cake for your mom's dear friend. Our anniversary is on Valentine's day. It's a day many of us share. {Bunny} Designer for House Mouse and Friends

I love how you stenciled and embossed the BG - it's lovely. And squeak! Love those darling mice from House Mouse (they've been a fave of mine for 25+ years! I still have stickers and note cards from way back when). Beautifully designed card. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Dare.
