be mine. (Forever and Always)

Woohoo!  It’s Friday, it’s a new month of Viva La Verve sketches starting today AND the dh and I are off on a romantic birthday weekend after work today!  It’s his birthday tomorrow and we are celebrating it right with dinner and dancing and each other :)  Today’s card not only uses Diva Amber’s sweet sketch, but was made with a coworker’s wife in mind.  I took my cards into work this week and they sold like hotcakes, especially the Valentine’s ones.  There were no vintage, girly girly ones left so I made this one for him to give her :)  She told me she loves all the little vintage bits on my cards so that’s what I tried to pour on along with some stitching and distressing.   For more information about today’s sketch AND how YOU could win a $100 gift certificate to the Verve Store, head over to the Viva La Verve Forum!  Okay, let’s get this day started!  Have a wonderful weekend :)
