A very Special Valentine Present

I wanted to show all of you one more Valentine I received in the mail today….

This is from my new blogging friend Elaine….she started this project for me back in January and wanted to encourage my word for 2011 which is "FORWARD".

She is new to paper crafting and wanted some honest input. I was so amazed at this piece! Look a little closer…

The sweet vintage children’s images came from Nan over at “Bubbles of Joy”. Elaine did such a wonderful job with this banner!

I am hoping that you all stop by her new blog to say hello. Elaine is a very special lady, so please join me in welcoming her to our community! :)

    Wow Sandy. That is so beyond pretty. I can't believe that Elaine is new to paper crafting. I'm heading over to visit her next. Thanks for sharing this gift that she so sweetly blessed you with. Everyone can't help but love you!

    Just popping to pages from the past and saw this pink and red valentine train! Oh my goodness, Tammy's in love! I might have to save each of these pictures in my craft file and give this a shot. The graphics that she had in each of the train cars must have come from a storybook about a train ride tho', they are so perfect!!!
