Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I was in the grocery store yesterday and so many people were buying flowers, candy, and cards for the special "someone" in their life.  I am lazy.  My dear hubby is getting a gift card.  Easy Peasy!

I did make him a card and here it is:

Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?  The adorable background paper with hearts and moustaches was ordered from The Scrapbooking Queens  Castle Shoppe on FB.  She has the all kinds of scrapbooking items available for sale.  Here is a link in case you would like to check it out:  SHOP HERE

The cowboy teddy bear is from The Cricut Teddy Bear Parade cartridge and is cut at 3 inches.  The sentiment "Happy Valentine's Day" is from CARDZTV "Happy Days" stamp set. 

You can check out Mary's awesome stamp sets HERE.

Have a super fantastic day everyone!
