Hello all :) Managed to squeeze in a little card making time and it sure felt good even though the old mojo was moving in slow gear.We had a delightful Christmas. Hubby cooked a prime rib roast on the BBQ to perfection (I'm drooling just thinking about how good it was) and complimented it with Yorkshire pudding, a huge assortment of veggies and side dishes and my mom provided dessert in the form of apricot crapes and some of her home baking. Hmmmm hmmmm good!! I have also satisfied my puzzle making bug for yet another year. Five puzzles down and one on the go to wrap up the season. Being able to poke my nose into two books (finished The Help - great book - and am working on Ken Follet's latest book Land of Giants) and have thoroughly enjoyed staying up late and reading in bed (sometimes far too late!).
Since this is round or square week over at the Mojo Monday blog and since I just love making round cards, I figured it was the perfect launching pad back into the stamping world :) With Christmas behind us, it's time to move on to Valentine's Day cards. I looooove hearts, so this is one of my favorite types of cards to make. Be forewarned, you may get sick of seeing them over the next month or so!
It's hard to believe this year is drawing to a close, but I must admit I am glad to see it go. It has been a tough year in many ways, so I am looking forward to a much better 2012.

So, we're in a sweetheart mood, are we? Looks like it is time for Valentines. Your card is sooooo pretty and I like hearts, too.
Glad you had a great Christmas and have gotten in plenty of reading and puzzle working. I love to do puzzles, too. It's hard to find time, though.
Wonderful card, Marisa!! Love the silver heart. Your Christmas meal sounded divine - lucky girl!!
Wow, is it already time for Valentines? Life moves much more quickly as I get older, too fast, in fact. I want time to savor Christmas cards just a little bit longer!
Great combo of hearts and pink and laciness on this Valentine!
