The Lasting Kind of Friendship ...

Hi Ya's!  Hope you're all enjoying your week so far!  :)

My little Bodhi has a short week of school again, plus no school on Monday too.  Are you thinking that he sure has a lot of days off from this school all the time?  Yeaaaaaa .. I'm thinking the same thing too.  lol!  Well, I really had wanted to maybe head on over to a movie .. but there's no animated ones in the theaters right now. :(   hmmmmm .. what shall we do?  What shall we do?  *finger tapping on chin*  ;)

Well, I've gotten to play with more DARLING LOTV stamps from the newest release!  This time, I've combined 2 of the images "Springtime Bear" and "Butterfly Meadow".  I wanted to show them enjoying one another's company and so I made this card a wee bit bigger to place them together.  Instead of a normal 6x6 card, this one is 6.5x6.5.  They look like they're having fun together yes?  :)

I've also used beautiful papers from LOTV'S "Perfect Pair".  :)  I love them!


I wanted to show you a close up of one of the corners which I stamped with clear embossing ink and then embossed with transparent powder, because you can't really see it in the top pic.  hehe.  Well .. this little Prima flower corner stamp was sent to me by a sweet overseas friend.  Thank you so much dear!  I LOVE it very much!


Well, I do hope you've treated yourselves to some (or all .. lol!) of the sweetness at LOTV!  Please don't forget that there's still FREE shipping on all stamps .. Worldwide!  :)

And whenever you need inspiration, stop by at LOTV Inspiration Blog where you can find tons of ideas from my FABULOUS DT sisters too!  :)

Thank you so much for visiting me .. I love it when you do!  I'll see ya again soon!  Oh and have a "love"-ly Valentines Day!!!

Hugs,
Elise
