Sorry I am a bit late today sharing my inspiration, for the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog. That whole day late and a dollar short thing really is applying here, lol. I did make a card the other day for today, but that whole, getting a picture and posting thing seemed a bit difficult to do, lol.
This was a quick and easy card. I offset the sentiment and stamped it twice. At first the black color didn't really seem to fit. Then I tried it in Red and it seemed to disappear in the hearts and then came the ah ha moment and I offset them and it worked for me, lol.
Love is in the air and Valentines Day is looming on us. I have been having some serious discussions with my husband about how every day life seems to take us away from who we are and what we want out of our relationship. I know Valentines Day is a big commercial Holly-Day that drives men out for flowers and candy and couples flock out to restaurants for dinner. Sometimes there are proposals, sometimes weddings, sometimes jewelry is involved. But for couples who have been together as long as me and my hubby, it's a reminder not to celebrate and nurture the relationship for just a day, but rather most days of the year. So that's what we have decided to do. And that's why there is no set path, you just need to follow your heart.
I hope I have inspired you today. You will want to see all the New Items Laura has added to the store. As well as check out our current Challenge.

Whoa! How cool and graphic is this card? It's like an optical illusion - everywhere I look there is something more to see! I echo your sentiments about V-day exactly. I don't get bogged down in the commercialization, but it's my favorite day of the year because I get to celebrate ALL the love in my life - and there is SO much love to be grateful for. Sending you air hugs!
Such a fabulous Valentine card.
Thank you for joining us at Simon says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Very original design, an optical style! Great work!
I love this card and sentiment. I think your take on relationships is right on. It is really true, it's not just one day, it's every day. The little things you do for your spouse that you know will bring joy, being a helpmate and just listening and sometimes hearing what isn't said. Good for both of you. Big hugs to you.
So many hearts on this card. I can see how you had to work to get the sentiment to pop but you did it. Great thoughts you have about VD too. It isn't just a day; it should be a lifestyle.
Awwww.....love all the hearts and that sweet quote!
Beautiful post & card!
Loving all of the hearts!! Great card Holly!!
A very cute card.
Great color choices, Holly!
