I'd been saving these grocery bags for months.
Loved the funny little faux Victoriana illustrations ... . . and the red/black
color palette on the brown craft paper.
Then it hit me : I'd rip up the grocery bags and cut out little hearts
with my pinking shears. The next step would be to outline the pinked edges
with my gold leaf pen.
Of course, everything is more fun when layered with some gold tulle
and stitched over black cardstock.
Voila! Valentines pour vous !!

Pure genius!
brilliant!
but I'm confused ... did you print the images on the grocery bags? are they colored stamps?
and, no!, I did NOT take the short bus to school...
WOW, very nice.
It looks absolutely gorgeous!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

These Valentines are the best! I hope you receive one just as fabulous...although that would be difficult to find.
Happy Valentine's Day, Judith

I love your stitched hearts ! and especially the hand reaching out...brilliant !
Wishing you a belated Happy Valentine's, dear Judith !
These are lovely! Absolutely charming.
P.S. I completely agree on Karl Lagerfield's white shirts too - did you see the latest Bazaar? He photographed a model dressed like himself in - you guessed it - the white shirt. Carolina Herrera too!
Clever girl... hope someone put as much thought in giving you a card on V-day Judith... Come to think of it you'd be a hard girl to buy a card for. Yours make the stock standard look so... pedestrian ;-)
