Handmade Valentines

My 2010 calendar is Flora & Fauna by Cavallini & Co....I love their calendars.  Instead of discarding the January artwork (or more likely add it to the heap of pretty things I don't seem to be able to discard), I decided to make my own Valentine cards since I already had all the supplies.   

I tore the calendar page into strips, glued it to linen card stock i had torn to size to fit the envelopes and added just a touch of glitter.  I fought the urge to create the "perfect" card and second guess my creations...small task, big accomplishment...allowing/enjoying creativity without strict edits.  I created eight cards.  I loved them all.  Here's a few.
