Happy Valentine’s Day my friends!

Posted on February 14, 2014February 14, 2014 by Josee

My hubby and I went out for a special lunch yesterday to celebrate Valentine's together…special means NO KIDS!!! You know what I mean, right?!

Today, we had full intentions on sending the kids to school, decorating and putting together a special dinner for them with steak- yum, yum…their favourite…HOWEVER, Mother Nature decided to make it so windy that they cancelled the country buses which means our school closes. Uggghh…so much for those plans!

We'll have to send them to play downstairs and be sneaky, I guess!

Today's card is super simple, but, not too frilly so perfect for a man. 🙂

Stampin’ Up! See Ya Later

Posted on February 11, 2014February 11, 2014 by Josee

Happy Tuesday friends! Hope you are all surviving this long winter…at least it feels long to me! lol

I think this card is fitting to how I feel about winter, See Ya Later Alligator. 😉

It has been fun though watching the olympics, I have to admit we haven't watched all of it, but, have been paying attention to the metals that have been won! Yeah Canada! 4 Gold, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze is not too shabby…it's nice to be in the lead…keep it up!

Today's card uses the Sale-A-Bration stamp set See Ya Later and I think this alligator is super cute!
