Hello everyone: I'm always hopping and praying that you and your families are doing well, taking care of each other, and wearing your masks. I also hope that you Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day, it's hard to celebrate like before but, it's all for the best. My husband and I are fully vaccinated, our daughters are waiting for their second shot and 4 of our grandchildren are scheduled to have their first shot in a few days.

As you can see, the RETRO RUBBER has this fun Tic Tac Toe grid for you to play with, there are lots of wonderful combinations so we hope you have fun with it.
This is the card I created using the diagonal "Pinks or Reds, Heat Embossing and Romantic".
To me, there's nothing more romantic than a handwritten letter or card, I love to see my friends' handwritten notes on the cards they send to me and, of course, my hubby's words on a card for my Birthday or Mother's Day, I treasure the fact he still does this after almost 48 years of marriage. I really hope the art of writing with pen and paper is not lost forever in this age of electronic messages.
This lovely image is from a 2009 Flourishes set called "From the Desk of....." and this image is the first ever I saw from Flourishes and the one that made me fall in love with this stamp company.
I stamped the image with Versafine black Onix ink and clear heat embossed it, then, colored it with a few Stampin' Up! markers and an aqua painter, the tip of the fountain pen, the centers of the flowers and the flower vase are colored with metallic paints in gold and copper.
This is the INSIDE.
And this is what I used.
