I have been up to pure fun the last two days, making you a special treat. What is it, you ask?
Why, it's this year's printable Valentine cardlettes!
♥ Hooray ♥
Please do

(give the link several seconds to open)
Below is an example of what the card sheet looks like once you print it.
I had so much fun making these. I love making cards, just love it.
Here are some close up samples of each cardlette.
Cupcake love...
Also, I didn't want to leave out the boys.
How could I? ;)
Whilst drawing this one, I got caught up in all sorts of ribbon drawings. So, now I have about 5 pages of ribbon drawings as well ;)
I listened to so much pretty & lighthearted love music while drawing these. Sometimes I want to make a list of all the songs that come together to help me draw a few happy treats.
Seeds of Love...
Of course, I don't think any holiday can be properly celebrated without a couple of elves. Do you agree? Elves make the world a better place, I say.
OH oh, also....
There are still cardlettes from previous years (such as the ones below) available on my FREE TREATS page.
Here is that link, to access the printables below, plus much more.
As for this year's Valentines....
I have really been itching for a Valentine garland, as I can't find mine anywhere.
So, I printed my page out on super nice card stock...
And then, gathered some doilies and crepe streamers...
And, made myself a garland, using this year's printable Valentines as my centers.
I am pleased as punch.
Just the little festive Valentine treat I was itching for.
Not perfect, but cute, don't you think?
So there you have it.
A little gift for you, cuz I (we) like you, and you are nice to me (us).
I hope you like them, and can use them.
You may print as many as you'd like.
:)
Much love from all of us at...
A Fanciful Twist...
See you soooooooooooooooooooon, woof!
ps: I listened to oodles of Mindy Gledhill while working on these (this is a song we should all sing to ourselves).
pss: Also, Anchor is so lovely, it will make you want to fly free. The video is beautiful!
So sweet! :D Last year I printed out your Valentine's set and hung them in our home with my daughter. :D I will upload the pics and show you. :D THey are sooo cute! Lovely and thank you for introducing me to Mindy Gledhill. She is a wonderful singer! I love her songs! :D Your blog is a true inspiration!

I love these Valentines!!! I think they'd look lovely framed somewhere in a magical nook. You've inspired me to make some of my own as well! Thank you so much!

These are so beautiful! I love them. They really capture what a perfect Valentine Day should be :) And I can see how these songs can isnpire when creating. By the way, thank you for the songs. I was on iTunes when I read your post and downloaded them. Beautiful songs.

Oh, merci beaucoup for the Valentine printables! I am so glad you loved making them. That makes them seem even more from the heart. From that special and sweet heart of yours. Loved your furry little spokesperson (spokespup?)at the end! I can't get over how fluuuuurfy soft he looks.

I'm full of Valentine love, too! I just posted a few Valentine inspired items in my blog as well - come visit if you can. :)

Oh, I meant to say something about your banner! I really like it! I have had the banner bug lately because I have seen so many different kinds, and I like them so much. I haven't yet made one, but I do want to.

I adore the seeds of love, Lady V.!! I agree, You must elves for Valentine's Day. My ears are a pointy like elves, so I like to imagine I'm half elvish at times.

You've given us a Valentine super early...thanks so very much!!! xoxo And your garland using your printable Valentines is so sweet. Looks like Miles approves - apparently, he has become the overseer of the blog from the looks of it. He even howled in approval!!! :) I am in love with that Anchor video...we should all wear butterfly wings... xoxo Theresa

Hi Miss Vanessa,
Oh, your puppy is the cutest. Your Valentine artwork is wonderful, as always. I adore Mindy Gledhill, I was introduced to her work on Nie Nie's blog a while back. I wrote a post about her new album and the amazing artist that helped her create the new video.
I love all of her music, but I think that her new album is amazing. I downloaded a bunch of new songs on ITunes. We must have dreamy music to set the Creative Muse free.
We are having another snow storm tonight. We have had three major snowstorms in the last two weeks. I love it though.
Well, have a lovely evening.
Karen
