Yahoo, it is the weekend!  And Valentine’s weekend, too!  I hope each of you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.  This year I find myself alone on Valentine’s Day and something I need to adjust to.  I have been sad about it but at the same time realize that things on the horizon are looking up and I do mean looking way up!!  This year I am not complaining about being alone because I am learning that being alone isn’t really all that bad.  Why be in a relationship that you are miserable in when one can be on their own doing something on special days that makes one extremely happy.  This past couple of weeks I have made some moves to make myself happy and they do have an effect on my stamping.

Effective Monday, February 8th, I am back to designing for vendors.   I will try to make the story short and sweet.  I applied for a design team almost a year ago (can’t announce who it is until next week but still have great news).  Since I hadn’t heard anything I figured that I didn’t make the team.  I moved on to working for Frances at Hearts in Touch doing advertising.  I have known for awhile that something was missing in my artistic life but haven’t been able to put my finger on what it was.  Well…the design team has been determined and I was chosen for it.  After much deliberation I decided it was time to return to design work and I have missed it immensely.   It is part of the reason I have been so stuck in doing any artistic work as of lately.  I promise that next week I will be announcing who it is.  But in the meantime I have rejoined “OnxyXpressions” as a design member.  I am thrilled with my decision and really looking forward to designing.

I do want to thank Frances of Hearts In Touch for the awesome opportunity she gave me.  It was interesting working on the advertising side and working with her.  Frances has such awesome stamps and it was a joy to be part of her company.  I think that the design part of me never went away and it was something I missed terribly.  I will still in my own way advertise Frances’ stamps by using them in my art.  They are ones that are too beautiful to pass up. Be sure to check out her latest designs (awesome stamps)!!!  Plus she can order just about any product for stamping you may need.  Check her site out.  Thank you Frances for all you have done for me.

Last item for today…I am sharing another Valentine’s card.  This was created with an image by Lisa’s Altered Art.  The pattern paper is by The Paper Studio and the punch is by Martha Stewart.  The brads are by Makin Memories (I think…correct me if I am wrong).

Enjoy!!!
