I'll be heading to work in the Flower Department soon, but wanted to post a quick card before leaving. My hubby and I went out to eat last night with 6 other couples and had a blast! We went to a restaurant in downtown Minneapolis called Ruth's Chris. It's quite expensive and we only eat there once a year if that. I noticed that there was a little doily underneath the small cup of butter and grabbed it right away! If Ivy hadn't mentioned in her discussion thread on Flickr that she does this, I never would have given it a thought! Thanks, Ivy! :) Here's the quick card I made using the doily.
I stamped the text across the doily, layered the pieces, stamped the xoxo on the Ek punched heart and the ribbon was a gift from Sue.
I also wanted to share a card I sent to Louise, along with a package of goodies, for her win in my 90-minute scramble a few weeks ago. She should have received them by now, but haven't heard from her yet, so I will wait to post it on Flickr.
One more thing. . .here is a little peek from a post I'm working on. This is a gorgeous Tulip from the floral department where I work. I have lots more to share, so stay tuned!
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your Valentine's Day is filled with lots of hugs and kisses! :)

Such sweet and beautiful cards! I love the doily - made me laugh when you referred to Ivy's discussion! I'm sure all of us Hero Arts gals who saw that discussion will now be looking for doilies whenever we go to restaurants! lol!
Happy St. Valentines to you to, Barb! :)
Lovely cards! The doily is beautiful with the text. The birds are adorable! Lovely tulip! Looking forward to them outside! Can't wait to see your pictures from work.
Well you know I've been big on doilies lately, but I never thought to stamp the whole thing. I love the way it turned out. I got pink tulips yesterday and told my husband that I like them way better than roses. Great picture of the tulip.
I love your cards, Barb! And this tulip is beautiful! It must be a pleasure to work surrounded by wonderful flowers! Hugs, Vanessa x
