Retrosketches #196: Valentine Love Bug

 I'm on a roll. One of my New Year Resolutions was to keep my blog active since I neglected it in 2015. So far I've been pretty consistent.  In addition, I have been using more of my pattern paper. Using it always poses a challenge for me. Besides, I hate to give it up despite the fact that I have tons.
I'm trying to get a head start on my Valentines along with the many birthdays I have in January & February.

When I saw this adorable sketch for this week's challenge at Retrosketches, I knew I had to play along.

Having a limited amount of Valentine stamps besides endless hearts, I pulled out the love bug from the 2010 Love Tags from PTI. (This is a vault set now)

The hearts are from three different dies: Tiny Tags, Love Lives Here and Notched Heart Banner die.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

39 Years of Blessings!

Today my darling husband & I celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. We have been truly blessed with a good marriage, wonderful children, their awesome spouses and beautiful grandchildren as well as good health. May God continue to bestow his blessings upon our family.
I was so happy my PTI goodies arrived early in the week so I could use some stamps from the newly released Monthly Moments.
